E-Gold founders avoid jail thanks to great judge

They always throw the old "child pron" line into these stories to gain public support.

It's sad that we get so excited when our justice system works; it should be a matter of course.

This really sucks. e-gold is a great service and this judgement will only mean that competitors that do not have operations in the USA will take over.

Maybe they were innovative, but at the end of the day their service was frequently used to launder money.<p>They also violated the law about know your customer (banks must know who each of their customers are, no anonymous customers).<p>Sorry, but if you run a business you have to obey the law, not just ignore it.
