Lack of Information
In the corporate world there is a lot of information that has to become public
knowledge in order to ensure that an organization is running with complete
transparency and without any guises. A lack of information provided by Neovia
(formerly Neteller) has caused the previously announced acquisition of IDT
Financial Services Holdings Limited to fall through. The online casino gambling
industry is so complex and there is so much room for fraud and other negative
dealings that transparency is the way that licensing jurisdictions ensure that
the company has the best intentions of the public in mind. With the IDT deal,
the Gibraltar Financial Services Committee would not approve of the acquisition
deal and so it has now been abandoned after many previous months of
negotiations.
Neovia is a strong e-payment processing company that works extensively with the
online casino gambling industry. In the past year though, Neovia has branched
out from the gambling industry and now focuses on providing comprehensive
payment processing systems to all types of internet based transactions, from
merchants to goods and services trades, Neovia has really rebuilt trust with the
online community after the internet casino transaction fiasco two years ago.
As for the IDT deal, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission requested that
the Neovia shareholder who would have a huge shareholder interest in the newly
acquired IDT, release specific information that provided sure identification. As
the shareholder was unwilling to come forward, the Commission vetoed the deal.
IDT though is open to the acquisition in the future should the circumstances at
the Neovia online payment processing company change. |
