It's come to my attention that the US government has a group called the 'Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network' in Vienna, Virginia. I know that burocrats like to keep themselves busy, but even I didn't think they would go so far as to enforce crimes to keep the law enforcement people busy. What a curious way to spend the taxpayers money. Garfield P.S. :-) for the humor impaired.

It might also be in their privacy archive. Fincen has webpages at www.ustreas.gov/treasury/bureaus/fincen/fincen.html The agency is pretty much an alternative to the IRS's crumbling computers and a nice cover for possibly unapproved interagency cooperation. Look up some recent posts by Douglas Barnes on a banking conference. Sorry to repeat what's been said here a zillion times before. This account is a remailer for bad terminal servers.
