In fact Central Escrow Agency Ltd is not apparently the official Escrow Agent for e-gold - certainly not as the current position appears to reflect. The e-gold "Escrow Agent" is in fact Baxter, Baker, Sidle, Conn & Jones, P.A. a Baltimore firm of attorneys. See the Escrow Agent agreement at: http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-bbsc.3.htm That they are indeed claimed as the current Escrow Agents see the bottom of: http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htm Details of this attorneys firm appear at: http://www.bbsclaw.com Their practice areas described at: http://www.bbsclaw.com/areas.html Details regarding the two lawyers named as contacts in the contract can be found at: http://www.bbsclaw.com/baker_2030147.html (James Baxter Jr) http://www.bbsclaw.com/sidle_2135769.htm (Darryl Sidle) There is a definite cross/conflict of interest situation which exists between the e-gold Bullion Reserve Special Trust (set up supposedly to adminster the gold for the benefit of account holders) in that the Bermuda lawyers firm which were appointed trustees also represent e-gold Ltd! Whether Baxter, Sidle & Co has any similar close relationship with e-gold Ltd is something we are currently investigating.
