Working With Law Enforcement, E-Gold Once Again Brings Criminals to Justice

Posted on: Thursday, 6 March 2008, 12:00 CST

MELBOURNE, Fla., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the recent article, "Waterbury man part of secretive network of pedophiles worldwide," in the Republican American by Ben Conery, e-gold wants to point out that it is always vigilant to assist federal law enforcement in bringing criminals to justice.

Regrettably, e-gold's work with the FBI, FTC, IRS, DEA, SEC, USPS, and other government agencies has gone widely unnoticed. The e-gold staff has participated in hundreds of investigations in support of law enforcement. In addition, e-gold maintains an active investigations staff supported by numerous automated and manual system protocols to work proactively to identify and stop unwanted activity. As a matter of fact, e-gold is the most effective of all online payment systems in detecting and interdicting abuse of its system for child pornography and other illegal activity. e-gold's investigative capability has not only made it one of the poorest choices for illicit activity, but has directly provided extraordinary data that has led to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of cyber criminals.

Since its inception in 1996, e-gold has settled over 85 million payments and extended its customer base to more than 165 countries. It currently receives nearly one million visits to its website weekly and settles over $1 billion worth of payments annually. It provides a valuable service for many individuals and companies doing business online. It represents significant advantages over credit cards including not being as subject to exposing personal information over the Internet, risking identity theft, while still maintaining full identifying information as part of the record for every transaction.
