Dagney,
You are quite right, as
a) the funds were 'frozen' so not lost,
b)Authorities were notified so the criminals could be apprehended.
so your 'guess' is as good as mine.
Being just a small business person in another country confronting a large
multimillion dollar company
in the US on one side and 2 multinational banks on the other, there was not
much I could do
about it.
In spite of that I still believe in the principles of the gold economy and,
with the
help of my friends and a loyal band of customers am slowly building up my
business again.
Besides which any internal issues between market makers and e-gold should
not dissuade you from embracing
the technology. Afterall, It is a multimillion dollars industry now, and
there are many fine Market Makers who
are listed such as Goldnow.st and Eric Gaither Gold Exchange for example.
Both I number among my friends
and both are excellent service providers I would recommend to anyone.
As well as myself of course!
Kind regards,
Michael Moore
