Does *anyone here* understand what the difference is between a financial service like Western Union, which is registered, licensed and reports its transactions to the relevant jurisdictions, and eGold, which is unlicensed and allows people to move money without any recorded evidence of the activity?

I'll give you a hint: one is much harder for law enforcement to investigate abuses of, and therefore a bigger target for shutdowns. And it's not Western Union.
