eWalletXpress Has Money Seized
In mid-November, we had a story about a rumored Federal warrant against eWalletXpress and possible seizure of money. Though at the time there were various reports of what was really happening and eWallentXpress, when contacted, just said they were having “technical difficulties” and everything would be up and running again soon.
Apparently now it is not a rumor anymore as an email has been sent to customers that say:
Dear Customers,
You all may already be aware of the fact that eWalletXpress has been out of service since November last year.
At this point we must regretfully inform you that our funds and accounts were seized by the United States Government as part of a confidential investigation. We have contacted the U.S. investigating agencies and are currently negotiating with them. At present, eWalletXpress is unable to access these funds or return them to you because the money is no longer in our custody or control.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Due to the sensitivity of the situation we were not able to notify you earlier and we do sincerely appologize (sic) again for any inconvenience you may have suffered.
We are grateful for your patronage over the years and are trying our best to resolve this issue quickly.Best Regards
eWalletXpress
As of this moment, the money seizure leaves U.S. players up in the air as to when, if ever, they will receive their lost funds. When customer service agents were contacted they said that they were currently looking into getting players money back but admitted they didn’t know when this would happen.
Players can only look at what happen a few years ago with Neteller as hope. Eventually all money was received but it did however take over six months for it to happen.

I remember well about what happened with Neteller, one of my paychecks was on hold during that time. I think the US government is getting too big for their britches. It won’t be long when the “people” get tired of the government trying to control everything in their lives. I see the Revolutionary War starting to brew up again, and this time it ain’t gonna be pretty. I hope the people who have money in eWalletXpress will get it back and not in six months like what happened with Neteller.
