Owners of e-Gold charged with money laundering, Sophos comments

Online digital currency investigated by US Secret Service


Online digital currency business e-Gold has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. The company and its owners have been accused of running an unregulated financial network that catered to criminals moving money.

Founded in the 1990s, e-Gold allows users to move monetary funds across the internet by transferring ownership of gold bars. A user can move money on the internet simply by transferrring a tiny amount of gold to another user's account instantly, and e-Gold earns a commission on each transfer. Unlike credit cards, e-Gold transactions are non-reversible and all transactions are final.

According to a statement by the Department of Justice, the indictment alleges that the owners of e-Gold allowed their service to conduct fund transfers despite knowing that the money being moved was the result of illegal activity such as credit card and investment fraud and child exploitation. The indictment further alleges that e-Gold was operating without a license and without registering with the federal government, violating money transmitting laws.

"E-Gold has drawn criticism in the past because it has been claimed the company does not do background checks on people applying for accounts, and it's too easy to create an account in a phoney name," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "Criminals may have been attracted to use systems like e-Gold for illegal ends because of the anonymity provided to them compared to high street banks. It is essential that online digital currencies work within the law, assist authorities with their enquiries, and work hard to ensure that their money transfer systems are not being used by cybercrooks."

Accounts connected with the alleged illegal activity have been frozen as part of the investigation.

The US Secret Service is investigating e-Gold and its owners Dr Douglas L. Jackson, Reid A. Jackson and Barry K. Downey, with the assistance of the Internal Revenue Service and FBI. The money laundering conspiracy charge carries a maximum 20 year prison sentence.

Experts at SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of threat research centers, have identified many instances of malcious code designed to steal usernames and passwords from e-Gold customers and email scams inviting people to transfer money to criminals via the system. For example, a year ago Sophos identified the Zippo-A Trojan horse that encrypted victims' computer data, and then created another file informing the victim that they needed to pay $300 to an e-gold account in order to recover their files.

Last year, BusinessWeek published an investigation which claimed that e-Gold was becoming the currency of choice for cybercriminals.

E-Gold charged with money laundering 1

by : Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus

UPDATE - Following a two-and-a-half year investigation, federal prosecutors charged online payment service E-Gold, its parent company Gold & Silver Reserve, and its three owners with four counts of violating the U.S. laws restricting funds transfers and money laundering, according to an indictment unsealed on Friday.

he court filing claims that the companies' owners -- Dr. Douglas L. Jackson of Satellite Beach, Fla., Reid A. Jackson of Melbourne, Fla., and Barry K. Downey of Woodbine, Md. -- knowingly allowed criminals to use the service and profited from others' crimes. The indictment further claims that, because the service requires no identity verification outside of an e-mail address, E-Gold became the preferred method of payment for online scammers, identity thieves, and child pornographers.

"Douglas Jackson and his associates operated a sophisticated and widespread international money remitting business, unsupervised and unregulated by any entity in the world, which allowed for anonymous transfers of value at a click of a mouse," Jeffrey Taylor, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a statement. "Not surprisingly, criminals of every stripe gravitated to E-Gold as a place to move their money with impunity."

The digital-cash service denied the charges against the company and its owners and took particular exception to the government's allegations that the E-Gold service knowingly aided child pornographers.

"With regard to child pornography, the government knows full well that their allegations are false, yet they highlight these irresponsible and purposely damaging statements in order to demonize E-Gold in the eyes of the public," Dr. Jackson said in an e-mail statement sent to SecurityFocus, likening the use of child pornography charges to accusations of witchcraft. "In post 9-11 America, child porn and terrorism serve as the denunciations of choice. E-Gold, however, as a matter of incontrovertible fact, is the most effective of all online payment systems in detecting and interdicting abuse of its system for child pornography related payments."

In March 2006, E-Gold joined with 17 other financial institutions and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to limit the use of their services by child pornographers.

The indictment comes as e-payment companies are increasingly being used by online criminals to transfer the profits of their crimes. Using services such as E-Gold and WebMoney, groups that control malicious bot programs have offered to pay Webmasters and anyone with control of compromised Web sites typically $80 to $85 per 1,000 installs, according to sites advertising such partnerships. A number of groups that appear to be from China and Eastern Europe use the compromised Web sites to host nearly invisible IFRAME tags, which link to the attacker's site and infect visitor's computers.

Last month, one researcher investigated an online server used to store stolen digital identities and found that it also acted as an e-commerce service, selling the data for funds transferred to WebMoney. Other services occasionally used include Fethard and Western Union.

Yet, E-Gold allegedly has made no significant effort to curb the criminal use of its service, according to the indictment, handed down last Tuesday, but only unsealed on Friday. The service and its owners have purportedly allowed customers to continue using the service, even after other victims and companies flagged the activity as unlawful, the court document stated. In many cases, the database records of accounts would have notations that would imply that the company knew "the account holder was engaged in, including among other things, 'child porn,' 'Scammer,' and 'CC fraud,'" the indictment stated.

Other E-Gold customers have not even tried to hide their business, according to records seized by law enforcement officers and mentioned in the court filing. Thousands of accounts were allegedly opened using the abbreviation for high-yield investment programs (HYIP), a popular investment scam. The company did not include any prohibition on criminal activity in its user license agreement, according to the indictment.

E-Gold has become a popular way -- and possibly, the most popular way -- for online identity thieves, bot masters and fraudsters to transfer money.

Online criminals have tried to sell stolen bank account credentials, credit-card numbers, denial-of-service attacks, and even the holographic dove stickers needed to make counterfeit credit cards, designating E-Gold as the method of payment, said Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer for antivirus firm F-Secure.

"E-Gold is anonymous and irreversible, which makes it attractive to the the underground as a method of payment," Hyppönen said.

In 2005, the company advertised that in one 24-hour period it transfered more than $6.36 million between E-Gold members accounts, a rate that would add up to more than $2 billion annually.

The company, founded by Dr. Jackson, a board-certified oncologist, and Downey in 1996, was raided in December 2005 by FBI and Secret Service agents. At the time, the U.S. government seized about $800,000 in assets from E-Gold's parent company G&SR, according to Dr. Jackson. On Friday, law enforcement agents seized another $762,000 from E-Gold and $736,000 from G&SR, stated Dr. Jackson in the e-mail statement sent to SecurityFocus.

"Having taken virtually the entire operating funds of G&SR and E-Gold Ltd., that is, the E-Gold in both companies' own E-Gold accounts, it is unclear if the government has even a basic grasp of the operations it has been investigating for three years at a taxpayer expense in the millions," Dr. Jackson stated.

The indictment filed on Friday names the U.S. Secret Service as the primary investigators on the case with the aid of the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service.

"The advent of new electronic currency systems increases the risk that criminals, and possibly terrorists, will exploit these systems to launder money and transfer funds globally to avoid law enforcement scrutiny and circumvent banking regulations and reporting,” James E. Finch, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, said in a statement. "The FBI will continue to work closely with the Department of Justice and our federal and international law enforcement partners to aggressively investigate and prosecute any, and all, persons or organizations that use these systems to facilitate child pornography distribution, to support organized crime, and to perpetrate financial crimes.”

E-Gold's parent company, Gold & Silver Reserve, is a Delaware corporation, but the company claims the payment service is based in Nevis, West Indies. In the indictment, investigators stated that all the company's files and assets are based in Melbourne, Fla.

United States authorities have obtained a restraining order against the companies' owners to prevent them from moving their assets as well as warrants enabling law enforcement agents to seize more than 58 accounts.

Federal prosecutors have charged the company and its owners with one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, one count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business and one count of transmitting money without a license. The money laundering conspiracy charge has a maximum sentence of 20 years, while the three other charges each carry a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison.

The charges of conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to transfer money without a license allow the U.S. to seize all assets resulting from the profit of the alleged crime.

UPDATE: The article was updated with comments and information from E-Gold founder and CEO Douglas Jackson, denying the charges against the company and its owners and, in particular, criticizing federal prosecutors for alleging that the company aided child pornographers.

Google's search engine goes universal - Yahoo! News

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Business Writer


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - In its latest technological leap, online search leader Google Inc. will begin showing videos on its main results page Wednesday along with photos, books and other content previously separated into different categories.

Under a new "universal search" approach that Google began rolling out Wednesday afternoon, some requests will produce more than just a series of links and snippets pointing to other Web sites.

As an example, the results to the search request "I have a dream" will include an actual video showing Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous 1963 speech along with the usual assortment of Web links.

The videos will be shown on Google's results page if it's contained in the company's own database or the vast library of its YouTube subsidiary. A thumbnail will direct traffic to videos hosted on other sites like Metacafe.com.

Other Google results will more frequently show photos or information from the more than 1 million books that the company has copied during the past two years. More news stories and local information pertaining to search requests will be displayed on Google's first results page — perhaps the most prized showcase on the Web.

Google's database has included photos, books, videos and local information for several years, but fetching the content usually required searching through one of the customized channels featured in a row of links above the main query box.

A new link to Google's increasingly popular e-mail service, Gmail, will be added above the query box in the next day or two to make it easier to access for existing users and presumably more alluring to Web surfers who haven't already opened an account.

By intermingling different types of Web content on its main result page, Google is betting it can become even more useful to its millions of users and maintain the competitive advantage that has established the Mountain View-based company as a cultural and financial phenomenon.

The increased emphasis on video also could alienate some longtime users who revere Google for its traditionally staid results page.

"It's going to be interesting to see how people react," said Greg Sterling, who runs the research firm Sterling Market Intelligence. "I think it will create more value for users."

The changes also illustrate the challenges facing Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), Microsoft Corp. and a host of smaller Internet search engines as they try to gain ground on Google. While those rivals have been investing heavily in improvements just to catch up, Google has been spending even more to soup it search engine.

Last year alone, Google's capital expenditures totaled $1.9 billion, and the company is on a pace to spend even more this year as it builds more data centers to handle heavy-duty computing jobs. Google executives said it took two years to lay the groundwork for the switch to universal search.

The change realizes one of the visions that drove Google's $1.76 billion acquisition of the video-sharing site YouTube. Just days before announcing that deal last October, Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page lamented their inability to show videos on the main results page and said they were working hard to address the weakness.

Now that Google is showing videos in the search results, it may not be much longer before the company begins airing video ads in addition to the short text ads that have accounted for nearly all of its profits so far.

"I do think this opens the door for a richer medium on the search results page," said Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience. "For us, ads are answers as well."

Since all videos from YouTube and the company's database will be streamed on a player embedded on the main results page, the change also could mean people stay longer on Google's Web site — another factor that could boost profits. Although Google also distributes ads to thousands of other Web sites, it makes more money from messages on its own property because it doesn't have to share the commissions.

"Our goal is not to have people spend more time on Google," Brin said Wednesday. "It's for people to accomplish more on Google."

By creating another major channel to show YouTube videos, Google also could be courting more copyright trouble. Since its inception, YouTube has regularly shown pirated videos posted by its users, a problem that has spurred several copyright infringement lawsuits, including a $1 billion damage claim by Viacom Inc.

Both Google and YouTube say they have adhered to the law by removing pirated videos after receiving a request from a copyright holder.

Google to Buy Analytics Provider

By Kevin Newcomb

Google plans to acquire Web analytics provider Urchin Software to complement its advertising and publishing products. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed and Google didn't elaborate on how it intends to integrate Urchin.

"We want to provide Web site owners and marketers with the information they need to optimize their users' experience and generate a higher return-on-investment from their advertising spending," Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's VP of product management, said in a statement.

Urchin is a site analytics tool available in both hosted and server-installed versions. Web site owners and marketers use it to better understand user behavior, optimize content and track marketing performance. Many search engine marketers use the Urchin products to monitor their Google and Yahoo SEM campaigns.

Google has not said how the move will affect plans for future versions of Urchin software, but a Google spokesperson said that Urchin customers will continue to receive product support and service on the product. Urchin is used by customers including NBC, Procter & Gamble, NASA, U.S. Army, and several universities. It is also offered to end users through hosting companies like SBC and Affinity.

JupiterResearch analyst Eric Peterson speculates there are several possible scenarios for Google going forward. The first, and most likely route, would be to follow Yahoo's lead and integrate the Urchin technology into its AdSense tools. (Overture integrated Keylime into its Marketing Console after buying it for $9.5 million in 2003.)

A second option would be to follow the model it uses with Picasa and give away Urchin "as is." The goal there would be to help make Web sites more effective and improve Google's own organic search results.

A third option, which Peterson says could strike terror in the hearts of Google competitors, would be for Google to use Urchin technology to create a free, tag-based analytics solution. That move would likely force lower prices from large vendors, and threaten the existence of smaller ones, he said.

Other industry watchers disagree on the potential impact of the acquisition. Jim Sterne, president of the Web Analytics Association and principal of Target Marketing, said that Google has effectively taken a competitor out of the marketplace.

"People who were going to buy a tool to monitor their Google AdWords program are no longer going to be in the market, but on the other hand, higher end tools will now get better data from Google," Sterne said.

Google anticipates that the acquisition will close before the end of April.

Google Gives Web Analytics Away for Free

By Pamela Parker

In a move likely to thrill many marketers but horrify Web analytics firms, Google is expected to release the new version of its Urchin analytics service today. The release, re-branded Google Analytics, will be free to advertisers in its AdWords program.

Google had previously charged $199 per month for the hosted service. The search player acquired Urchin back in March.

"Part of Google's philosophy in the advertising area is to provide our advertisers with the tools they need to be successful," Paul Muret, an engineering director at Google and one of Urchin's founders, told ClickZ News. "We want to give them the visibility they need to get the intelligence they need to make good decisions on advertising."

Google Analytics, which will be rolled out to current Urchin customers and AdWords users Monday, will be available in 16 languages. The company has added "dashboard" screens customized to ease access to common reports for different types of users: Webmasters, marketers and executives. In a move likely to attract even more people to sign up for AdWords accounts, Web site analytics will be free to AdWords advertisers. Google won't require a minimum spend from users.

The software is integrated into the AdWords service in several ways. Users will be able to access both Web site and AdWords analytics through a single interface. Additionally, Google Analytics enables automatic tagging of each keyword in a marketer's portfolio so it can be easily tracked within the application. The automatic importation of keyword pricing data is also supported, enabling users to track ROI. Marketers may also use the application to track initiatives in other channels: email, banner ads, etc.

JupiterResearch analyst Eric Peterson expects the release to have major repercussions for competitors in the Web analytics space. "When Google acquired Urchin," he said, "I speculated that the greatest good that Google could do with the application, which would also be the greatest bad for the Web analytics market, at least part of the analytics market, would be to give it away for free. I think it impacts everybody."

Though the company will incur costs associated with providing the service for free, Google believes providing the information will benefit AdWords in the long term.

"We want the ROI for advertisers to be real," said Muret. "Their long term sustainable advertising health is good for Google."

Conventional wisdom says analytics applications are underutilized for several reasons: cost, information overload and the difficulty of determining what to do with the data. A free Google Analytics addresses the first issue, and the company also hopes to take on the latter two. The firm has developed an extensive help center, including a section that explains key analytics concepts. To help its larger advertisers, Google has trained sales reps and will provide those salespeople with a support team of analytics experts. Additionally, it has reached out to consultancies to form a new service partner program, so they can help AdWords clients.

Peterson believes the offering will entice many businesses to adopt analytics for the first time. "Urchin was good when Google bought them, and now it's a little more complete package. All you have to do is ask for an account and put some JavaScript on your Web pages," he said. "I think it'll push more people along and really increase the interest in Web analytics."

What is e-gold

e-gold is an electronic currency, issued by e-gold Ltd., a Nevis corporation, 100% backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated storage.


e-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that empowers people to use gold as money. Specifically, the e-gold payment system enables people to Spend specified weights of gold to other e-gold accounts. Only the ownership changes - the gold in the treasury grade vault stays put.

The world wide web needs world wide money. e-gold was created in response to this need.

e-gold is accounted by weight of metal, not US$ or any other national currency unit. Weight units have a precise, invariable, internationally recognized definition. Additionally, precious metals, gold in particular, enjoy a long history of monetary use around the world. Thus, e-gold is ideally suited for international transactions.

Although e-gold is accounted by weight, the e-gold payment system allows Spends to be expressed in terms of eight major national currencies (as of this writing). For example, it's possible to:

  • Spend 10 troy oz worth of e-gold

  • Spend 5.3 grams worth of e-gold

  • Spend US $100.00 worth of e-gold

  • Spend CHF 685.88 worth of e-gold

benefits all users of money
he target market for e-gold is simply people who use money. How do you presently use money? Chances are any of these activities would benefit from the increased soundness, security, efficiency, and lower cost of e-gold. Here are some examples of how e-gold is presently used:
  • e-commerce

  • Business-to-business payments

  • Point of service sales

  • Person-to-person payments

  • Payroll

  • Bill payments

  • Charitable donations

  • Monetary base of the AUG* economy

* AUG is an abbreviation for the currency unit "grams of gold".
