Euro Pacific bank is a scam

The 90 days deadline won't start until OCIF approves the liquidation plan. So we all have to wait for that, until then there is nothing else to do.

Once the liquidation plan has been approved, there will be a 30-day window for depositors to withdraw their funds in cash.
After the 30 days, all Opt-in funds will be transferred to Qenta, and made available to clients.

This is how it should work, unless the liquidation plan has been modified.

So for now there is nothing to do, just wait for the Receiver to contact all of us. Most likely we will all have to submit our documents again (KYC).
Hi Radko,

Do you have the liquidation plan you can share?
 
i received last friday an email from AFS Professional Services requesting documents for otp-out process...despite i'm in the optin list...maybe because initially i was an opt-out (by my wire transfer has not been processed)? did someone like me received the same message?

I'm an opt-out client and didn't receive any email from AFS Professional Services, did you get it?
that's funny...i was an optout in the beginning (2022) but for unknown reasons my wire trasfer has never been processed, so i became a "involuntary" opt-in or sort of it lets say so... but some months ago i wrote an email to the EPB customer service asking "guys, i'm an opt-in or an optout?" and both EPB and Qenta told me that is more fair consider me as optout despite i'm formally in the list of opt-in... so i assume that i have received the opt-out request of documents because they reqalified me as opt-out....

I assume all those documents are for Opt-out customers.

Let's see if Qenta wants similar documents for Opt-in customers, so far they haven't said a word.
Even after I have read the liquidation order I am still confused about when the opt-ins money will be avaible for opt-ins at Qenta.
Is it after the opt-outs funds has been distributed?

I do not think Opt-ins will get their money later than Opt-out.

In reality, Qenta knows exactly how much money each of us had when the bank was shut down, so I understand that they don't need to do as much work as the Receiver has to do with Opt-out customers.

Qenta did say that they will be sending bank statements to all Opt-in customers as soon as the Receiver sets a migration date, so I think we will get our money back either in Q3 or Q4 of this year.
I would say 30 days after the Reciever sets a migration date, somewhere around September/October.

The Receiver has given Opt-out customers 90 days to submit their KYC documents, so I think we need to wait until that is over.

I do wonder if Qenta will ask Opt-ins to submit their KYC documents again, or if they are good to go with the documents they already have.

We just need to wait a few more months I think.

The email for opt-out customers is asking for a bunch of documents, and I'm not sure what to submit for all of them. I tried asking the trustee by email, but that led to some sort of chicken-egg problem, he doesn't want to talk to me without me uploading the proof of claim with all supporting documents...
I hope you guys can help me out.

1. Duly Signed and completed OCIF IBE and IFE Claim Form A - Proof of Claim
What is this, and where should get it from?

2. Copy of Two Legible and Valid Identifications
Those are easy

3. Bank Statement Available
I don't have any statements from EPB any more. The subject of the email to send the documents should also include my EPB Account Number, where can I get that from?

4. Proof of Address (certified as a true and exact copy of the original)
I did move countries in the meantime, do they just need a proof of the new address? How to certify, do I need to go to a notary? Is Portuguese okay, or do I need to have it translated too?

5. Complete the Know you Customer (KYC) Form
There's one available on the liquidation website. This asks for information I cannot provide any more, like when I opened the account. Should I just leave these fields blank then?

6. W-9 and W8BEN
I didn't find these on the liquidation website, can I download a standard form for these somewhere?


This is getting more complicated than expected, I hope it'll be possible to fulfill the documentation requirements and get my money back. A bit worried right now tbh.
 
I reccomend asking ChatGPT.

For the W-9 and W8BEN those are tax forms that everyone had to file every year to show they do not pay taxes in the US. I imgaine you can find them on the IRS website or using google.

You could ask [email protected] for Information about your account, but it is possible they won't asnwere since you are an Opt Out.
Have you communicated with them at this address recently?

I cant get in touch with them via that mail at all the last year or so.
