E-Gold Versus the FBI and IRS


E-gold is a all gold backed global digital currency businesses which was indicted by a federal grand jury. E-gold is accused of running an unrelated financial network that makes it easy for criminals to move money. The grand jury alleged in their indictment that e-gold is used for investment scams, credit card and identify fraud, and selling child pornography. The jury also alleged E-gold has full knowledge that their proceeds are from unlawful activity, and therefore violated federal money laundering statutes.

When banks help fund criminals they don't get charged with laundering but yet E-gold is singled out even though they`ve voluntarily provided information that the FBI asked for. I think the real story is the quick collection of all your personal information without your permission is un feathered while setting up a legitiment currency exchange store is punished.
