[stuff about EUB deleted]
Be that as it may, but I wonder about the whole thing. EUBank's web server appears to be firmly ensconced in Washington, D.C. -- not exactly where one would expect their records to be kept, eh?
I noticed that too. Is this BCCI 2, or just a front that the forces of repression can use to say "look, there is money-laundering on the Internet! We must control it." Their server appears to reside in McLean, VA., not Antigua: ericm(console)> traceroute 204.157.123.4 traceroute to 204.157.123.4 (204.157.123.4), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets [...] 12 * sl-capital-1-s1/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.128.6) 148.345 ms * 13 cso-sw1p7-rC-p7.cais.net (205.252.5.30) 279.959 ms 147.905 ms * 14 * intr-c.sb1.cais.net (206.161.140.125) 163.211 ms 146.752 ms 15 204.157.123.4 (204.157.123.4) 204.088 ms * * ericm(ttyp1)> whois cais.net [rs.internic.net] Capital Area Internet Service (CAIS2-DOM) 6861 Elm Street, Third Floor McLean, VA 22101 USA ericm(ttyp1)> whois eub.com [rs.internic.net] European Union Bank (EUB-DOM) PO Box 1948 St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda Domain Name: EUB.COM Administrative Contact: Richards, Pete (PR374) 75057.2515@COMPUSERVE.COM (809) 480-2370 Technical Contact, Zone Contact, Billing Contact: Kulkov, Val (VK41) val@GREATIS.COM (202) 835-7489 ELF.GREATIS.COM 205.229.28.5 WHALE.GREATIS.COM 205.229.28.10 ericm(ttyp1)> whois VK41 [rs.internic.net] Kulkov, Val (VK41) val@GREATIS.COM Greatis USA, Inc. 888 16th Street, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20006 (202) 835-7489 -- Eric Murray ericm@lne.com ericm@motorcycle.com http://www.lne.com/ericm PGP keyid:E03F65E5 fingerprint:50 B0 A2 4C 7D 86 FC 03 92 E8 AC E6 7E 27 29 AF
