The US Government has indicted online payment exchange E-Gold for money laundering. This has been coming for a good long time - some privacy advocates have been saying for years that the War on Terror was really just an excuse to crack down on international currency transactions.
I never had an E-Gold account, but I knew people that did, and none of them ever seemed to be working to undermine anybody. They weren’t child pornographers, or credit card fraudsters, or working to scam people out of investment funds. Just people running or using cottage online businesses.
It has been said that societies progress to the stage where everything that is not proscribed is prescribed - that everything not prohibited becomes compulsory. For me, I think that absolute control is an illusion, and the tighter the fist, the more that slips through the fingers.
