Now there's a powerful statement! It's awesome to see someone
exhibiting some personal responsibility. My hat is off to you Jeff.
Why anyone wants the "policing" of e-gold and its use completely
baffles me. Maybe everyone would like to start paying an e-gold
"tax" to the people who start policing the use of e-gold. There's a
good idea! I personally will make myself head of the e-gold gestapo.
Also, while we're busy crippling the freedom that makes e-gold so
refreshing, maybe we can get e-gold to closely monitor our accounts.
Perhaps they can start investigating, logging and reporting (to the
e-gold gestapo) any transaction over 3/4 a kilo. Of course if you
are suspected of structuring or using "dirty" e-gold, your e-gold
will be seized with no personal recourse.
"That wouldn't happen!"
"It doesn't have to be that way!"
Get real. You're either free or you're not. There's something
inherent in the expression "free market currency."

Again, I don't condone the use of e-gold in scams or fraud. However,
if you're a big enough idiot to jump into the bottom of a pyramid
scheme, then you deserve to lose your gold. What exactly are we
trying to protect people from here? Stupidity? Personal
responsibility?
99.9% of the the e-gold scams are clearly marked if you're not an
idiot. If you're leery about a particular e-gold "vendor" then ask
around. Develop relationships with people. There are plenty of
market makers that I trust 100% for instance. I am not worried about
being scammed or seeing my e-gold disappear for extended or even
short periods of time.
I digress. Just be careful what you ask for.
