message: Stormpay is a London-based fintech company that provides embedded financial services for both business and personal customers.
What StormPay believe isthat embedding finance into people’s lifestyles means creating the next generation of financial services. Because of this belief, they’re building solutions for a future where finance will be embedded into non-financial services to make them faster, safer, and better connected.

Should all these changes not be reflected on the main article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.115.222 (talk) 17:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

StormPay creates sister company, NetIBA, and says their bank will now give them a break on rates, which they will pass on to members who receive "third party verification".
StormPay collects $5 million in NetIBA fees almost overnight.
FBI raids e-gold.
12DP denounces e-gold and forms partnership with EMO to keep an alternative easy to transfer funds into from e-gold.
12DP tries to withdraw large amount of money from StormPay to transfer into EMO to pay EMO users.
StormPay delays and eventually says "only by check or direct deposit". 12DP users (includes many other autosurf sites) agitated, extend payment deadlines.
Several HYIP sites using GoldCoders script (Zendcoded) are hacked, perhaps using GoldCoders own backdoor, or because they were non-licensed scripts, or because the MySQLs were easily compromised and tables dropped. Other HYIPs use the same or similar pretexts to shut down.
Autosurf and HYIP investors issue many chargebacks through StormPay.
StormPay has private conference with 12DP and informs them of Jan 31 new terms.
12DP agrees but still no funds.
StormPay posts new terms but still doesn't pay.
12DP's StormPay account is disabled, and they cannot be contacted.
StormPay's forum is turned off. They disable other accounts of program owners on pretext that owners refused to prove they were not ponzis. However StormPay violates its own Terms by continuing to accept adverts for HYIPs/Autosurfs on Clix.
Theory 1: StormPay raided by FBI. Etc.
Theory 2: StormPay has insufficient funds to pay 12DP, so stalls. Etc. Ramifications extend to entire autosurf/hyip industry.
I don't know exactly were to put it, so I'll just put it here. I just read this article and saw the following line: "StormPay is not like a bank, where the money in ones account is actually backed by real money".
This is actually not true. Also "real banks" dont have all the money in all the accounts backed by real money. Normally there is a percentage of the accounts outstanding that should be backed by real money, but never all the money. This is also one of the reasons of the credit banking crisis in the US right now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.120.3.225 (talk) 13:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  Thanks I appreciate your putting more information in the article, along with the link, so that folks can see exactly why the change was being made, rather than making what appears to be an unsubstantiated change to a controversial article, as did 168.103.106.147.  John Broughton 17:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The change made by 168.103.106.147 did NOT include any link to the March 23rd article.  If someone makes a change to a controversial article, they should be the one to provide a supporting citation.  It's not enough just to be "right" in these situations.
I did the revert simply because of the lack of the citation.  And I'd do it again under the same circumstances.  John Broughton 20:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
