The Great E-Gold Robbery

Brian Doherty | May 15, 2007

MoneyNetNews reports that the government's great e-gold robbery continues apace. They report that $11.3 million worth of e-gold has been liquidated into U.S. dollars and turned over to the government--without, they report, any official civil case being filed, which means the people robbed don't yet know why, nor have any legal recourse currently to defend themselves. (The story, written in a decidedly non-pro-journalism manner, does not quote any government source.)

Real gold is much better, and is pretty much untracable if you use the bullion coins.

Oh, I think I know what's going on. When they're talking about "Jeremy Bailey" they're getting confused between Joshua Malina's character on Sports Night, who was "Jeremy Goodwin" and his nearly identical character on The West Wing, who was called "Will Bailey" so they conflated the two as "Jeremy Bailey". That's what everyone's talking about here.

So what does Joshua Malina have to do with e-gold, though?

Damn, I'm still confused.

you have fulfilled Goodwin's Law by mentioning his name. this thread is ended by fiat (but not by fiat currency).

But how can you make soup out of coins? Man, you're the worst chef I've ever seen.
