In this case, one would hope that a reasonable person (Are the US government, their officers and legal system reasonable people?!) would understand that Eric was honestly trying to help someone out, and was unaware of the fraud that generated the funds in question, and that he should have no more responsibility for the source of money being transacted for a third party than does the telephone company for the content of telephone conversations using their telecommunications system. Now that I have written that, I don't even believe it myself! The 'system' and the people in it are not likely to be reasonable (from Eric's point of view). Telephone companies are large corporations providing public utility, and will be protected by the system against complicit dealings which they could not possibly be aware of, or avoid without severely infringing the privacy of its customers. Gaithman's Gold Exchange (and all other like businesses) are small operations and will *not* be protected by the system against complicity in dealings with which they could not possibly be aware without infringing the privacy of their customers. :( Certainly outexchanging funds for someone, is just buying e-gold on the open market, and *should* be risk free.
