Re: Support Iranian People Against E-gold Scam Company
e-gold can "get away" with this because they are doing it to comply with the law, the only thing us gov would be likely to do would be to congrulate them. the real question would have been how could they have gotten away forever not complying?
I guess only way to get the money back would be to somehow assure them that you're not from iran. I am quite sure they would like to do business with iranians but alas they can't do that. using a proxy identity or some such would have been a good idea just because it was shunned upon by your own goverment too though...

If the US decides to boycott a country, then this has little to do with the
FED. It is typicalle Congress and the President who decide it, and they
don't really need a reason for it either.
Once they do so, it becomes illegal for Americans (natural and corporate
persons alike) to have dealings with nationals of the country boycotted. It
could be that the embargoe only applies to specific sectors, or specific
items, but it could also encompass any and all dealings.
Another country on the US list is Serbia, as well as Cuba, I think. As such,
it is illegal for a, sat a German bank, to send a USD transfer to a
recepient in Serbia. Indeed, the correspondence bank in the US will tell the
German bank NIET.
I do believe that an American national, working for a foreign entity, would
still be liable if he provided services to a boycotted country. If this
assetion is correct, then e-gold simply can not extend services to people
from countries that are under US embargoes. Doing so could fall under
trading with the enemy-like rules, which would then put all our accounts in
jeopardy.
However, all that aside, there is a good chance that Craig actually hit the
nail, when he suggested that e-gold would have closed all accounts that had
been opened through e-dinar during their cooperation in the past, and that
nothing more sinister has taken place as yet.
