so what?
amazon coins are a crypto currency, period.
i added the fact they launched their cc when they did because it's timely with this news that the dhs is going after another cc.
it doesn't matter if the all-mighty facebook tried something or the m$, whoopie.
none of that is happening NOW. none of that added up to fincen regulations, none of that added up to dhs pulling shit.
none of that has anything to do with the fact that that dhs went after dwolla this week. now.
