May 17, 2013 at 09:35US Frozen Bitcoin Mt.Gox Accounts
Bitcoin Mt.Gox virtual currency exchanger has encountered legal problems in the United States. The company received allegations that its activities did not comply with applicable laws in the United States, as well as claims for the seizure of Mt.Gox virtual assets owned by US companies and individuals. We are talking about funds that should have been held through the contractor Mt.Gox company Dwolla, but have not been held.
Based on the latter, Dwolla filed a lawsuit with the Maryland County Court, which says that it was she who, according to the agreement previously concluded with Mt.Gox, was supposed to service American transactions in Bitcoin, but the Japanese exchanger did all the operations directly, bypassing Dwolla. The latter says that Mt.Gox conducted financial operations in the United States, but did not have a representative office there, which is against the law.
A Maryland court found a violation of the law and set freeze all American Bitcoin accounts. In addition, the court issued copies of the submission to the US Department of Homeland Security and the Customs and Immigration Department. The resolution said that Mt.Gox violates the law on commercial money transfers without having a contractor in the States.
Meanwhile, WebMoney recently introducednew type of WMX currency for operations with bitcoin
