You misunderstand my position. I am not saying the government should be doing this. They shouldnt. But they do. A fact no one can change.
The fact is, if you are linked to potential criminal activity as a citizen, you're going to be investigated or taken down. Its a sad fact of american life.
Criminals use all sorts of means, but any business or project seen as enabling criminals to be anonymous or seen as to be catering to criminals in any ways shape or form or even just useful to criminals, tends to get shut down. Period. Sooner or later it happens.
The government doesnt like crime, anonymous actions or a combination of the two. This is evident throughout the history of all world powers let alone the US gov which tends to violate the worst.
They have shut down e-gold and other companies for merely being useful to criminals or seen as a threat to their way of doing business as a government. There are many cases of this sort of activity. Charges are manufactured, laws are bent and another well meaning person goes to jail that shouldnt.
