It now appears this morning that all large e-gold exchange agents doing business with US clients have had their e-gold accounts seized by US court order.
Here is what we know as of this morning.
Icegold, AnyGoldNow, 1mdc, Omnipay and other large exchange agents have all had their accounts blocked by a US government agency court order.
When attempting to log in on these accounts, the e-gold server responds that the account does not exist. It appears the accounts have been seized by the US authorities.
It is now not possible to unbail bars from e-gold Ltd.
(Icegold has since opened a new e-gold account and seems to be back doing business.)

It appears that a U.S. Government court order has forced e-gold(R) to freeze or block all of 1mdc's accounts. All of 1mdc account's have been frozen at e-gold for unknown reasons.
Please note that it appears a few accounts of a small number of large exchangers and users of e-gold have also been frozen overnight. (Millions of Euros of gold have been involved in this event.)
If the freeze or court order in the USA is reversed, your e-gold grams remaining in 1mdc will "unbail" normally to your e-gold account and all procedures will be normal.
We suggest not panicking: more will be known on Monday when there will be more activity in the courts.
You CAN spend your 1mdc back and fore to other 1mdc accounts. 1mdc is operating normally within 1mdc. However, you should be aware that for now the e-gold remains under the court order.
Ultimately e-gold(R) is an entirely USA-based company, owned and operated by US citizens, so, e-gold users operate by the decisions of US courts regarding the disposition of e-gold. Even though 1mdc has no connection whstsoever to the USA, and most 1mdc users are non-USA, e-gold(R) is USA based.
