Hi Wayne, Their wording in the court order is as follow: "... plaintiff cannot locate an address for this enity (= my account). Indeed , part of the relief requested in the proposed Order is to require E-gold Ltd to provide this information. In addition, if <account> becomes aware that Plaintiff's funds were inadvertently deposited into its account before this court freezes its account, <account> could remove the funds beyond this Court's jurisdiction and render the order moot" So, e-gold's rules are now used against it. It's non repudiablity is used as the main argument to justify freezing an account before contacting the person. This means I can instantly get your account frozen by simply spending a few hundred bucks into it 'by mistake' That way I can also force e-gold to reveal all your contact details to me. This court order has set the precedent, so now the system is basically unsafe unless e-gold acts to adjust its rules.
