J Christopher Mallick Chris Mallick, Christopher Mallick, John Mallick, J Christopher Mallick, John C Mallick Scammed Millions of Dollars, Non Payment of Funds Los Angeles, California
ePassporte, owned by Christopher Mallick, began not paying its users their requested withdrawals back in October 2010. He then released statements saying all requests would be fulfilled, and that it may take some time since the company pretty much folded and fired (read 'ripped off') most of it's employees. After a couple weeks of dire uncertainty, most users discovered that absolutely no funds were disbursed to ePassporte's users, and the contact methods that were listed stopped replying to any email inquiries.
Several emails back and forth between a Mr Gregory Elias of United Trust Bank, based in Amsterdam, also revealed that he had ties with Christopher Mallick, although he fervently denies that he has any ties to ePassporte. The first email we sent to Elias, was replied to and also cC'ed to several ePassporte and United Trust employees, with the most important part of the email being Elias saying to Mallick "Chris, send this guy his money now!". We continued to email Elias, and also one of United Trust's employees, which also resulted in nothing.
ePassporte then cancelled all withdrawal requests submitted by its users, and instructed us to upload wire forms with all our back account information filled out so they could disburse funds, first come first serve. We submitted our documents within 3 hours of the feature being created, and as of this day, Feb 21, 2011, our uploaded documents status still read "Received", but the date that ePassporte should mark when they receive a document still reads "not yet received".
Further email correspondence with ePassporte and United Trust have proved fruitless. ePassporte, as a company, was dissolved on October 28, 2010, but then the date was pushed forward to December 17, 2010, for the reason that "no listed representative is located on the island (Netherlands Antilles). The status would be immediately reinstated if a representative was appointed.
It is believed that the whole decline of ePassporte, and the eventual scamming of thousands of users out of millions of dollars, was an attempt to recover lost funds from a movie Mallick created called Middle Men in August 2010, which cost $20 million to create, but only grossed $800k in 3 weeks at the box office.
Christopher Mallick is also the owner of Oxymoron Entertainment.
