Yet again I must say... e-gold did not withhold Costa Gold's funds. e-gold
transfered the funds from Costa Gold's account to Omnipay's account
without a hitch. When Omnipay received mulitple conflicting instructions
on what to do the funds, including reports of a security breach, they put
the money into an escrow account until everything got sorted out.
I am much more willing to believe Omnipay than Costa Gold during this "No,
you didn't" - "Yes, I did" escapade. Omnipay has stuck by their user
agreement and I have seen nothing to say otherwise. From what I have seen,
Costa Gold quickly underwent a transformation from a "offshore investment
opportunity" to a "offshore game" when questioned. They went from
promising very high yield returns to saying it was a game and to not count
on receiving anything.

Yes... I apologize for my rash condemming. I have just become fed up with
people
complaining, and thus providing negative publicity, that e-gold is a only
a tool for scammers. We have scammers posing as scammees, scammees trying
to force e-gold to violate it's non-repudiation policy because it wasn't
their fault, and many other variations on the theme.

Why? Why should e-gold thank the entities who bring in users who aren't
willing to learn what e-gold is really about? Once the marks realize
they've been had, many of them scream to high heaven that it is e-gold's
fault. Few are willing to learn what e-gold is really about.

Yes. However it is with the type of users I have described above.

e-gold is NOT involved in the current imbroglio with Costa Gold!

They are not the bad guy. They perfectly lived up to their side of the
bargain. If you want to bitch, moan, and complain about somebody, direct
it towards Omnipay. However, they lived up to their side of the bargain as
well.
