Its more used by scammers and russians who don't want to get caught for shadey shit. Atleast thats the only people I have ever seen use it.

I always thought they were some basement underground company in a dif country.

Never liked e-gold anyways. Always reminds me of those HYIP scams and sites that try to copy 12DailyPro. Neteller last month, now e-gold. Anyone
see a pattern here?

Egold has long been a haven for scammers and every type of pyramid scheme imaginable. It was always used by so many foreigners, I just assumed the owners always resided overseas and hidden.
