I'd like to add my opinions to Ben's comments: > I have to agree with Steve here. Who are you to claim that people who > want to buy e-gold from you 'might' be 'laundering' money (whatever > that means) without some clear proof.
Because if they are laundering stolen money, then the bank will probably reverse the charge, or threaten to close your bank account if you do not return the money. > And how would them identifying > themselves stop the laundering from happening?

Most thieves aren't good at faking documents, surprisingly. Moreover, if the thief is in a civilized country, the police there will likely cooperate if you can identify the thief's address. My experience has been that thieves do NOT want to be identified. > Are you prepared to identify yourself to customers to the same > levels?

If the customer sends his money to a bad exchange service, then the customer will lose the money he sent. If the exchange service fails to identify his customers, he will lose THOUSANDS, and could be financially ruined.
