> A ‘prepaid access device’ means an electronic device or vehicle, such as a card, plate, code, number, electronic serial number, mobile identification number, personal identification number, or other instrument, that provides a portal to funds or the value of funds that have been paid in advance and can be retrievable and transferable at some point in the future.

- politician 9y agoThat description covers literally every thing that has ever been sold to a buyer. The act of buying something makes it "prepaid access device" since it may possibly in the future be used to retrieve funds, e.g. via a sale, and may be transferred at some point in the future.
- moduspol 9y agoYep. Something tells me that was the intention.
