Well, I guess we will have to disagree then. Like I said, if all these
"programs" went away, e-gold would lose at least 75% of their business
and that would be a high price to pay for the bad PR created by a few
complainers who are so stupid that they think a program that doubles
your money in 1 to 7 days is some kind of legitimate investment, even
when most of them now state plainly that you could lose your money and
there is no refund.
Whether or not I am involved is irrelevant, the question is whether or
not a payment service should become a policeman. If a payment service
starts "policing" the account holders, where do you draw the line and by
whose word is something a "scam" or just undesirable? If you wish to
become the world's policeman and save all the people from themselves,
you are welcome to that role. I, for one, do not want to become like
our socialist leaning government who is, "just here to help you".
I have been scammed in the past out of much more than you can put in any
of these "programs" and the payment service on those were regular banks
and it didn't seem to hurt the bank's reputation any.
If e-gold wants to protect their reputation, they need to remove
Kissmygold from the "official" market makers list on their web site.
Any market maker who holds on to people's money for weeks without
funding their account is, if not a scam, unreliable and should be
removed.
