E-gold sub acuzatie !

Ieri , 27 apr 2007, e-gold a blocat contul celor de la 1mdc.com. Pentru cine nu stie 1mdc era un fel de capusa a egoldului, practic transferai din e-gold in 1mdc si acolo nu aveai taxe de transfer etc.

Asta puteam citi pe site-ul celor de la 1mdc:

It appears that a U.S. Government court order has forced e-gold(R) to freeze or block all of 1mdc’s accounts. All of 1mdc account’s have been frozen at e-gold for unknown reasons.

Please note that it appears a few accounts of a small number of large exchangers and users of e-gold have also been frozen overnight. (Millions of Euros of gold have been involved in this event.)

If the freeze or court order in the USA is reversed, your e-gold grams remaining in 1mdc will “unbail” normally to your e-gold account and all procedures will be normal.

We suggest not panicking: more will be known on Monday when there will be more activity in the courts.

You CAN spend your 1mdc back and fore to other 1mdc accounts. 1mdc is operating normally within 1mdc. However, you should be aware that for now the e-gold remains under the court order.

Ultimately e-gold(R) is an entirely USA-based company, owned and operated by US citizens, so, e-gold users operate by the decisions of US courts regarding the disposition of e-gold. Even though 1mdc has no connection whstsoever to the USA, and most 1mdc users are non-USA, e-gold(R) is USA based.

Evident, un astfel de anunt a creat un val de speculatii, ba ca s-ar fi inchis si conturile IceGold, chiar si conturile LondonGoldExchange. Nu s-a intamplat asta insa s-a aflat ca intr-adevar in spatele acestei actiuni se aflas un ordin judecatoresc pe care il puteti citi aici.

Deci pe scurt, vedem ca e-gold.com si propietarii au fost acuzati de 2 chestii : spalare de bani si transmitere de bani fara licenta. Inainte sa inceapa toata lumea sa tipe disperata as vrea sa clarifcam cateva chestii.

E-gold e sub observatie de mult timp si nu a fost inchis pana acum. Ma uit la acuzatii si mi se par cel putin imposibil de demonstrat. In primul rand sa nu uitam ca dupa primul raid FBI in decembrie 2005 la sediul e-gold, in ianuarie 2006 guvernul SUA a catalogat e-gold.com ca o “privately issued currency” . Deci o moneda privata. Acum ei sunt acuzati de transmitere de bani fara licenta ??? Care bani ? Transmit ei vreun dolar ? Nu, ei faciliteaza transmiterea de moneda privata. Apoi, acuzatia de spalare de bani … e iar foarte greu. Pai spalarea de bani inseamna sa ajuti la transferarea unor bani “murdari” in bani “curati” cunoscand ca sursa este ilicita. Ori ei nu au transferat vreun ban. Exchangerii trasfera banii, si nu e-gold.

Oricum, nu e cazul sa ne panicam. Din ce vad eu, e-goldul a stiut sa se adapteze din ce in ce mai mult la sistem. Numai daca luam in calcul ultima lor masura luata, cea de a bloca clase de ip-uri apartinand unor servere compromise sau care fac spam, clase de ip-uri ale unor servicii de proxy / vpn sau ale unor ISP-uri de dialup (chiar si de la noi) ne dam seama cam care e directia.

E-gold, dupa parerea mea, va deveni incet incet un mic paypal, acest proces va fi lung si se va termina intr-un moment in care intr-o zi, intrand in contul tau de e-gold vei vedea ca iti cer actele … ceea ce pana la urma e normal.
