Hello,

As strange as it might sound, yes, there's a Secret Service involved.

During last couple of weeks Goldchanger and E-Gold have been contacted by
Secret Service and required to reveal information about a number accounts.
This is supposedly due to the investigation by Secret Service.

A number of payments has been taken away from Goldchanger, they have been
asked to cooperate and turn over future "suspicious" payments to Secret
Service. Of course they complied, having the raid similiar to the one that
happened to Gold-Age as alternative is not much of an option. Probably the
payment you're talking about failed into "suspicious" definition so your
customer may kiss his money good bye. Or maybe Jon Eichin (excuse if I
misspeled the name) cares to provide his point of view on this.

Secret Service also asked E-gold to reveal information about number of
accounts which were consequently closed. So much about their TOS and only
restricting incoming payments to suspicious accounts, this is not a case
here. Accounts have been closed and permamently deleted from the system.

The Secret Service agent in charge here is:

Special Agent Brian S. Lambert
United States Secret Service 
Electronic Crimes Task Force 
Phone: 212-637-5398 
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Non believers may want to contact agent Lambert for explanation, you'll
see that this story is very much true.

It appears that E-Gold and market makers recently became a target for
Secret Service. This is the one very good reason why true offshore
companies like Goldmoney or OSgold are gaining more and more parts of this
market. E-Gold was supposed to be privacy (not anonymity tho') but from
the point they started to cooperate with Secret Service this is no longer
true. Being offshore company with physical presence and computer equipment
in United States means basicaly nothing.

Or maybe someone from E-Gold cares to comment on this?

This is an insider information, believe it or not.
