Department of Justice Versus E-Gold
We all know that e-commerce companies are on the front line of dealing with fraudulent customers. But did one particular company play a role in helping the Department of Justice nab an identity theft ring? Or did they facilitate criminal activity? Check out this illuminating blog post from Larry Greenemeier at InformationWeek. Here’s more information on that bust. Finally, another U.S. state is instituting a law to protect consumers from identity theft.
Clearly, e-gold’s participation in the bust was not only significant, they were responsible for the information that found the culprits. However, they received no credit for their responsible actions. That’s poor on behalf of the USSS.
