Sigh...bitcoin wasn't even mentioned, MTGOX was breaking the law...move on already, this has nothing to do with bitcoin and everything to do with ONE company breaking the law. Notice how no other U.S. based bitcoin company was affected..yeah, they weren't breaking the law.
Not sure if this applies, but, if it does, wouldn't *
every Bitcoin client* be subject to this (be considered
a money transmitter)?
American statute, 18 USC § 1960"(2) the term money transmitting includes transferring funds on behalf of the public by any and all means including but not limited to transfers within this country or to locations abroad by wire, check, draft, facsimile, or courier;"
