Justice Dept. dropped investigation of Phil Zimmermann, declines to

They put out a press rel. about it, already got a journo call regarding this.
More when I find it.

Double spending using ecash isn't possible, but why so? Is it
because of the verification protocol? Or is it an implication of the
isueing intricacies?
And how about tracing, is it merely unfeasable that ecash
spending can be traced, or is it mathamatically impossible to trace?
Any explanations or pointers would be extremely helpful.

what i'd really like to hear/see is something from the prosecutor or
grand jury in this case. i'd like to know what they really thought was
going to come of this, how much of the investigation was pushed by TLA
types, and exactly what made them think they actually had a case in the
first place.
i would hope that after persecuting this man for years they would offer
some reasonable explanations about their (real) motivations and why they
decided to drop the case.
