Reply From: Matthew Patton <pattonat_private> >it was not the so called "government regulators" >that would hold the "keys to that code" but a neutral trusted third party >such as a bank. Right and a bank, which is heavily regulated and relies on the feds for all sorts of privileges is not about to break the law in acquiessing to federal demands. Talk to anybody who has had the bank/client feduciary responsibility conveniently ignored when the IRS decided to twist the bank's arm a little. Bankers are timid people with too much to loose. They run scared when the feds decide to play a little hard ball. Not to mention the NSA has conveniently trojaned the international banking exchange system so they can read the traffic whenever they want. All in the name of the 'drug war' and 'national security' and all that crap. -------- "There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed." - Bill Gates in an interview with Focus magazine, Oct 23, 1995. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
