How the Justice Department screws with a reporter
by Declan McCullagh 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

As you know, the Justice Department served me with a subpoena commanding me to be in Tacoma, Washington at 9:30 am on Monday, April 2, 2001: http://www.mccullagh.org/subpoena/ Because of the judge's schedule, Jim Bell's trial was pushed back one day, so now I need to be there Tuesday, April 3, 2001. Last Wednesday or Thursday, I booked a flight with the Justice Department's "Worldtravel" agency, which instructions attached to the subpoena require me to do. The flight left from Washington early Monday morning and arrived at the Sea-Tac airport at midday PT. I didn't want to risk a later flight because of possible weather delays, etc. When I called United a few minutes ago to make sure the flight was on time, I found out that Worldtravel had moved my flight to a Tuesday departure that would get into the city that afternoon, *after* the proceedings had begun. That could (understandably) piss off the judge -- I'd be violating a court order -- not to mention make me miss our motion Tuesday morning to quash the subpoena. Neither the Justice Department, the IRS, the U.S. Attorney's office, nor Worldtravel notified me about the change in my schedule. Worldtravel indicated they believe Jeff Gordon -- the IRS agent who is the chief investigator in this case -- is the guy who phoned them and moved my flight to Tuesday. That makes sense; he seems to be playing travel agent, based on his earlier mail to me: http://www.mccullagh.org/subpoena/gordon.030901.txt This really isn't a huge deal. If I showed up at the airport and couldn't get on (what I thought was) my flight, I likely would have been able to get on another one later in the day Monday. But at least one of the remaining flights is sold out, so it's not a sure thing. What this episode does show is that IRS agents and prosecutors like to screw with reporters, and a subpoena and travel arrangements are just another petty way of doing it. -Declan

CCL (Crypto Carrying License)
by Morlock Elloi 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

In the test lab for USA future, C is becoming a controlled substance. >From http://www.ntk.net/ : More cut-and-pasting from ukcrypto, Britain's last remaining form of parliamentary oversight. This week: the government's plans to require all security consultants to register with the authorities, and be strictly licensed afore passing on their forbidden, arcane wisdom. First the bad news: the bill in question, the PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY BILL, is already at its Commons' Second Reading, and is set to be law in two months (barring those pesky elections). Now, the good news: at the reading, HO minister Charles "RIP" Clarke said it's mainly aimed at security guards and bouncers, not IT security consultants. Now, the bad news: he added the word "currently" - and, "currently", the Home Office says it *does* apply to computer consultants, but they won't get around to enforcing that until 2005. Now the good news: the main restriction on the license is that you mustn't have a serious criminal record. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

U.S. Secret Service raids E-Gold currency exchanger
by Declan McCullagh 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,42745,00.html Secret Service Raids E-Gold by Declan McCullagh (declan(a)wired.com) 11:10 a.m. Mar. 30, 2001 PST WASHINGTON -- The Secret Service has raided a New York state business that exchanged dollars for grams of the digital currency called e-gold. A bevy of agents from the Secret Service, Postal Service and local police recently detained the owners of Gold-Age, based in Syracuse, and seized computers, files and documents from the fledgling firm. U.S. Attorney Daniel French said Friday that the investigation involved charges of credit card fraud. "We haven't brought charges yet," French said. "We're in the investigative phase." Gold-Age owner Parker Bradley says that during his eight-hour interrogation on March 12, the Secret Service seemed less interested in credit card fraud and more interested in the mechanics of e-gold. Until last year, Bradley accepted credit cards and paid out e-gold, but said he quit because too many people used stolen credit cards when conducting business with him. "The interrogation became less about me and more about politics and e-gold," Bradley said. "They were trying to get me to blame e-gold for fraud. Just to be blunt, these guys have no clue about how e-commerce works, how e-gold works or what I was doing." E-gold is a 5-year-old firm based on the Caribbean island of Nevis that provides an electronic currency backed by physical metal stored in vaults in London and Dubai. The company says it has 181,000 user accounts and stores about 1.4 metric tons of gold on behalf of its customers. Bradley's Gold-Age company, which he ran with his wife out of their home until the raid, was one of about a dozen e-gold currency exchange services: He took dollars and credited grams of gold, silver, platinum and palladium to a customer's account, less a modest fee. [...] Still unclear is why the raid took place. French indicated that it could be more than a routine credit card investigation, saying "at this point, it's being investigated as a credit card fraud." One possibility is a broader investigation directed at some users of e-gold, which is less anonymous than cash but more anonymous than credit cards. Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers has warned of malcontents using the Net and encryption to dodge taxes, and it's possible that the feds don't exactly approve of a system that's more privacy-protective than the heavily regulated banking system. Current federal regulations require banks and credit unions -- about 19,000 in all -- to inform federal law enforcement of all transactions $5,000 and above that have no "apparent lawful purpose or are not the sort in which the particular customer would normally be expected to engage." Because e-gold is not a bank that lends money -- it's more akin to a warehouse that stores gold on behalf of its customers -- it's not covered by those rules. Mike Godwin said the raid evokes memories of the notorious Steve Jackson Games raid by the Secret Service a decade ago, which led to the formation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. [...]

Louis Freeh and False Alarms [RISKS]
by Bill Stewart 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Obviously this calls for wiretaps on Freeh's phones and email and hidden cameras in his house to prevent future occurrences.... From [risks] Risks Digest 21.28 ========================= Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2001 13:57:54 -0500 From: Graystreak <wex(a)media.mit.edu> Subject: Risks of self-induced false alarms http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38625-2001Mar7.html FBI Director Louis J. Freeh said he and his wife had been baffled by a series of false alarms from the security system in their Great Falls area home. Fairfax County police responded each time, but no suspects had been nabbed. It seems that two of his six sons, then ages 5 and 4, had been amusing themselves by making their 2-year-old brother run in circles in the basement to set off the motion detector. "They would sit and watch for the police to come," Freeh said. [AW notes: no discussion of why the motion detector was on in the basement while the children were home, nor why the police didn't adopt a "call before responding" policy after some number of false alarms.] =================================================
