    No. Didn't feel like reading it. What if you have current funds in E-gold?

    In other words, people who have money with them are now screwed.

    The US Government has tried to push money laundering charges onto e-gold in the past as well but nothing happened. Longtime e-gold users have seen the threats come and go. E-gold still stands. BTW Im using e-gold for nearly 8 years now.

    Its not closed. If you read the actual press release, it states that egold will continue to operate - it just will have fraud measures and identification measures added, as well as proper licensing as a money transmitting business.

    So, sounds like they are still open for business =)

    This is great news as usual. We should all keep using e-gold. No other ecurrency upstart comes close.

    It may be a blessing in disguise. E-Gold may be able to get rid of the undesirable image as a seedy operation and who knows, may turn out to be a real competitor to Pay Pal.

    Lets hope a stronger, cleaner and more competitive E-Gold emerge from this. I would definitely like a strong competitor for Pay Pal.

    Like getjimmy, i also read they were charged for money LAUNDERING and was about to close . Still they web page opening here. Its really a horrible news whatever i don't have any account with e-gold. But i believe the end of E-gold began.
