"...sites that allow the transfer of digital cash outside of U.S. banking rules." You mean a company that was created in, is headquarters in and their primary business takes place outside the US with non-US persons?
"...sites that allow the transfer of digital cash outside of U.S. banking rules." Do you mean an award winning company licensed and regulated in jurisdictions outside the United States?
"...digital-cash businesses have dodged U.S. attempts to force them to hew to the nation's laws." What laws? Please site specifics?
NETELLER was crippled by the US DOJ indictment, that took place on the premise of "we are stopping online gambling" or at least that's how the press spun it. However, as we all know and time has shown, the underlying reason for the NETELLER charges, was an end run to allow the offshore financial forensics crew into their operation and track from the inside out how all that money flowed. Now, the DOJ premise is they require information from a foreign online payments company, Webmoney Transfer to track some hackers? Hmmm. Any wonder why no one outside the US feels all warm and fuzzy when the DOJ comes knockin' for a hand out?
Maybe I agree with not opening the books to the Bush Administration lawyers, maybe I don't agree but as Chris Rock used to say, "...... but I understand."
