I had to look up WePay on Google. The wikipedia page says they have 30 employees as of a year ago, did YC and 1 round of funding. I have to be honest - that doesn't demonstrate a high level of trust at all these days. It's sad, but true. Plus, if you say they're "ex-WePay," I assume they were just everyday developers for WePay, not critical resources.
