Thread: IceGold e-currency exchanger reopens for business as Icegold.us

Hello to everyone. My name is Jens Johansson and you do not know me, so let me introduce myself. I used to work as part of the original team that was in charge of the IceGold OU company ( one of the first electronic currencies exchangers in Europe ). As you all know, IceGold was forced to shut down its business endeavors in Estonia in 2008, due to the adoption of new anti money-laundering laws, that required every exchange to be done face to face with the customer, for identification purposes.

Back then, when this came in force, the whole team sat down and started a discussion on whether we could circumvent the inevitable. The situation was crystal clear though - there was no way around that. We had to cease operation.

That is when, in one of our heated debates, the team split up into two parts. One of them decided that IceGold was done ( at least for the time being ), and headed on to venture into other business endeavors. However, the other part of the team, myself included, reached the conclusion that we could revive the IceGold activity, if we move our operations abroad.

That would require a lot of work, dedication, and effort, so we had to start rightaway. We reviewed our list of possible choices and it was Panama that caught our attention for a suitable spot. It took us more than a year, but we finally managed to transfer over to the lovely capital of Panama ( Panama City ), hire a new office, refurnish it, and set up everything that is necessary to start over with IceGold.

So, let me welcome you to the new beginning of IceGold in the face of IceGold LLC ( Panama ). Since Mati Malsub, our former technical manager, remained a steady part of the other team, and decided to remain in Estonia, we had to part ways with him too. However, in the course of our preparations, we had to contact him and asked him to submit the credentials, necessary to run the website of the former IceGold ( http://www.icegold.com ). We came to realize that Mati, however, seemed to be unwilling to pass over the authority over the website, stating, I quote: "We might need it some time in the future."

That is why we had to set up a new website, with a new domain name to reflect our business decision to revive IceGold. And here it is, all ready, and good to go - http://www.icegold.us. This, from now on, will be the face of former IceGold ( present IceGold LLC, Panama ). We decided to keep the original website design, so as to remind our pool of customers what we used to be in the past. We, clearly, had to implement the exchange of new e-currencies, instead of the obsolete and rather problematic e-gold. A lot has changed since 2008, and so, now you have the option of exchanging Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money for a bank wire, and vice versa. Inter-related exchanges are still not an option, but we are working on implementing automated exchanges between the two e-currencies, as we speak. We will also allow for Western Union fundings to be used in the near future, both for in- and out-exchanges.

Our business hours are scheduled to be, as follows:

Monday to Friday:

8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Panamanian time ( UTC/GMT -5 hours )

First day of operation - starting tomorrow, 24th August. The website, however, is already online, so feel free to have a look around. Any new orders that come in, will be processed first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your continued support of the original IceGold team. We are here once again, and we will strive only for the best in our relations with you, our faithful customers.

I will be posting in this thread from now on, answering any and all questions that you may have ( however, I will not be around today, as it is Sunday ).

Regards,
Jens ( Icegold LLC Panama )

Withdrawing my earlier comments.
The original site www.icegold.com made an alert of this site *****ing as scam and duplicate site.

So please be aware of this trap and scam site until they prove themselves legitimate.

I would be very careful with this exchanger. I saw many fake websites with the different end in the domain.
Does Estonia allow citizens to use this kind of business now?

Panama is a haunt of vice, of course.

Hmm.. at first this seems very nice, but once you take a real close look at the original site: www.icegold.com
you will find a warning against this site advertisied above, saying:

ALERT August 25
2009 We have discovered that someone has opened a new website at www.icegold.us copying our design and claiming to be a part of our company. The information regarding us on that website is not correct and it is quite obvious that www.icegold.us is a scam website.


It guess, this clears the confusion for some.
I would never do business with someone that presents themself, starting with a lie..
