Beginning July 7, 2008 a fraudulent press release was sent to multiple online publication services claiming that e-gold Ltd. and Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc. had filed for bankruptcy. The announcement was a fraud and did not come from either company or anyone associated with either company. Concurrent with the fraudulent press release there have also been intermittent denial-of-service attacks against the e-gold.com website, probably originating from the same perpetrator. An investigation is underway seeking to discover the source of both this malicious misinformation and the denial of service attacks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Melbourne, FL] -- e-gold Ltd is pleased to announce a favorable ruling from The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in the matter of whether it, Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc., and Directors of both corporations are entitled to a hearing in the Federal district court regarding whether there was sufficient probable cause to justify seizures of assets from the corporations in December 2005 and April 2007.
The higher court concluded:
"In short, we hold that where the government has obtained a seizure warrant
depriving defendants of assets pending a trial upon the merits, the
constitutional right to due process of law entitles defendants to an
opportunity to be heard at least where access to the assets is necessary for
an effective exercise of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel."
The complete text of the court's opinion is available here:
Opinion for the Court, filed by Chief Judge Sentelle
This ruling will ultimately prove to be beneficial to all Americans whose Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights have been increasingly encroached upon in the name of fighting domestic wars du jour - whether or not they use e-gold.
e-gold Ltd, Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc., and their Directors believe there was insufficient probable cause for the seizure warrants at issue and look forward to finally having their day in court on this matter.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Melbourne, FL] -- Since its inception in 1996, e-gold has settled over 85 million payments and extended its customer base to more than 165 countries. It currently receives nearly one million visits to its website weekly and settles over $1 billion worth of payments annually. It provides a valuable service for many individuals and companies doing business online. E-gold usage offers significant advantages over credit cards. Besides the obvious advantages to merchants (reduced cost and instantaneous settlement with no risk of chargeback ), e-gold is not as subject to the risk of exposing personal information over the Internet (an identity theft risk), while still maintaining full identifying information as part of the record for every transaction.
e-gold is always vigilant to assist federal law enforcement in bringing criminals to justice. Regrettably, e-gold's work with the FBI, FTC, IRS, DEA, SEC, USPS, and other government agencies has gone widely unnoticed. The e-gold staff has participated in hundreds of investigations in support of law enforcement. In addition, e-gold maintains an active investigations staff using numerous automated system protocols to work proactively to identify and stop unwanted activity. e-gold's investigative capability has not only made it one of the poorest choices for illicit activity, but has directly provided extraordinary data that has lead to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of cyber criminals.
