Feedback: Springbok Bankruptcy Not Surprising

Springbok was mostly a B2B prepaid provider, so the CARD Act would have a minimal effect on its business.

Processing Content

The company was founded by two people, one of whom was so upset that he and his wife couldn't redeem a gift card to pay for movie tickets that he founded Springbok.

These were not payments-industry people, and they really had no clue how to run a payments transaction-processing company.

I'm not surprised by this development.
