Corporate History Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc. (G&SR), a Delaware Corporation, developed and deployed the e-gold payment system in 1996, and through 1999 administered both payment settlement and currency exchange.
In January 2000, the core e-gold roles of Issuance and Settlement were devolved to e-gold Ltd., a Nevis W.I. company created specifically to serve as the General Contractor responsible for performance of the e-gold Account User Agreement. This separation of roles was designed to further assure e-gold’s freedom from default risk and finality of settlement by dissociating the e-gold Issuer from business risks relating to exchange. G&SR, Inc. continues to serve as Operator of the e-gold payment system, as well as offering its own innovative set of hybrid currency exchange services, known as OmniPay. http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/aboutus.html --> e-gold Ltd., a Nevis W.I. company <-- BUT FIRST I think they operate from within the US --> Management has to respect US court orders. SECOND As far as I know their servers and/or their account database are located within the US. --> US jurisdiction. --- Maximus Holding, Inc. www.tax.BIZ password: IP address: 63.240.230.10 No reverse lookup configured.
