In the light of recent developments in the digital gold market, with companies like e gold being indicted and the  US government taking a hardline against some of them because of moneylaundering and unregulated illegal practices going unchecked, what do you think the future of these alternative currencies or digital currencies are ?
Can the US govt and others force them out of business as some believe?
We value your opinion here on www.digitalmoneyworld.com and both Mark and Benson have written here on digital gold extensively in the past.

Since I started writing about and following gold currencies, e currencies and e shares, I’m always amazed at how badly these companies maintain communication with their shareholders, and how anything that is said or questioned about a  particular company is always interpreted as sabotage by their competitors.

DIGITAL CURRENCY BUSINESS E-GOLD INDICTED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING AND …
Given the nature of the e currencies business, unpredictible as it is, regular updates from e gold, should be forthcoming. Especially in the light of their  recent indictment, one would think they had a duty to their many clients with collective millions invested to address …read more

(Digital Money World) There was a fake PR release report of e-Gold on it being bankrupt a few days ago at PRweb. It was gone when I was given the url by Mark to peek.
Never ever trust releases unless they’re from the official source (say the blog or the official e-Gold site itself), though I kinda get the hunch that most of e-Gold users are really worried about its future when we think of the indictment that they’re facing.
Well, since there’re no bad news and with e-Gold switching primary dealer, we can definitely be sure that there’s something going on …read more

These people were scammed because they received an email identical to the moneybookers one and took it as the original, it was actually a faked page which looked identical.
Today I want to talk about online security with moneybookers, pay pal and others.
What should you expect to receive from them?
Rule number one

I remember as an investment broker not so long ago, my clients and peers talking about ethical investments. Exercising your ethical choice in investments was becoming mainstream and even clients were talking about it.
Contrast this with the Elliot Spitzer case recently. He didn’t seem to care that prostitution and the crimes always linked with it, where being funded by him. He possibly said – I’m O.k. I’m not hurting anyone.
The IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division then started a probe, initially fearing that Spitzer was the victim of either extortion or identity theft.

 (Digital Money World) Come on, anyone is just making privacy a tough thing to preserve with such kind of post. Web Money gets mentioned on an anti-child porn tactic being one of the alternative online money to be used in child pornography..  But does that make Web Money and also e-Gold guilty of what kind of service they’re providing for people who seeks privacy? Your call.
