Interesting, Commander-in-Thief has stated that Paybase is an entirely separate company from GAW:

Like I said before - this could be the catch in Garza's statement that a 3rd party would handle escrow.
Paybase issues the buyback, GAW holds the coins. There's your third party.
In classic GAW fashion he's posted a non-answer that barely has anything to do with the question.
i think the question was a fair question to ask, considering Joe was the POC for all technical questions, and was the resident programmer. if there had been a change in the hierarchy within GAW it would be a good idea to let the customers/investors know of any major changes or at the very least let us know if they are still integral parts of the team

i don't understand why the CEO can update his GAW customer base with meaningless posts, but ignores the important stuff. i have had enough of the blind faith that is required to be a GAW customer.
