    E-Gold was a company that would warehouse gold for people and allow them to transfer their gold to other e-gold customers. It was indicted in 2007 on federal charges of money laundering.

    Federal reserve notes are money. Gold is not money. How could they be charged with money laundering when gold is not money?

    Have you read the charges against them?

    Maybe the money laundering had nothing to do with gold.

    It was a registered business.

    Maybe the mob was using them for a front.
