I've been an e-gold account holder for a long time and in my experience e-gold has always done it's best to prevent it's service from being used for crime. If some criminal payments were made, I highly doubt e-gold had any knowledge of it. Whenever e-gold had reason to believe an account was involved in criminal activity they would freeze it.

I suspect this case is bullshit and in fact it is the government agents that are committing the crime -- stealing money from a legitimate private business. And the theft is two-fold, first grab was all the taxpayer money used to pay investigators, second grab is the theft from e-gold. The real question is how can we end the current dictatorship and prevent further abuses of government power?
