Headline:  E-Gold Gets Tough on Crime

...
> Jackson says the criminal affidavit, filed under seal, accused Gold

> prosecutors later dropped the criminal claim, replacing it with a 
> civil complaint charging Gold and Silver with operating as an

^^^^^ That shows you where their real priorities lay.

Now I know who the real criminals are.
