The now shut-down online payment system e-gold reported on its blog that it is working with the various US Federal and State government authorities, including the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, the state where e-gold’s Operator is located, so as to allow some account holders to access their funds that were blocked under the previous agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice.

 Gold & Silver Reserve Inc., a Melbourne-based company, that also owns E-Gold Ltd., was fined about $3 million for allowing thousands of customers in Iran to activate ecurrency accounts within their payment system. The company allegedly exported its services without a license thus violating federal law that regulates transactions with Iran.

Internet community is again murmuring and rumoring around the situation with the now-shut-down e-currency provider e-gold. From the online forums, talkgold.com, in particular, as well as from e-gold's blog itself we have learned that the payment system posted a new message where it instructed its users to provide additional information in compliance with US legal requirements and e-gold's "Customer Identification Program" (CIP).
