My 12 Daily Pro Sponsor just sent this to me. I thought you would want to know. I don't have anymore information than what is written below. April 1, 2006 BREAKING NEWS: PAYPAL ACQUIRES E-GOLD In a surprise announcement, PayPal, which is a part of eBay Inc., today disclosed that it has acquired Nevis company e-gold Ltd. e-gold is an online payment system which describes itself as an "e-currency" or "digital gold currency" (DGC). It is backed by actual gold reserves and allows its users to store and transfer funds online. PayPal spokesperson Midas R. Follis said that PayPal is considering renaming the e-gold service to either e-pal, SuperPal or ClickPal, and to eventually merge it entirely with PayPal. "The meaning of the word 'gold' has changed dramatically over the centuries. Nowadays it stands for glamour, wealth and prestige, and has little to do with the precious metal known under the same name." Citing the decades-high gold price and pressure by the gold cartel, PayPal plans to sell off e-gold's gold reserves as early as next Wednesday. e-gold's reserves are located in Dubai and Europe and exceed those of Canada and many other countries. Analysts expect that the sale of e-gold's reserves will have a dampening effect on the soaring gold price. "We could see the price drop to $500/oz in a matter of days", stated an top analyst who spoke under the condition of anonymity. Paypal indicated that its acquisition would bring many new innovations to e-gold users, such as instant chargebacks, random duplicate transactions, and live backdoors to authorized government agencies around the world. "In their own best interest and to improve security for everyone, our users will be invited to upload their thumbprints and to mail in their DNA in the form of tears, sweat, blood, or other bodily fluids." Follis continued that after several years of stagnation, PayPal is newly optimistic about the future now that it has taken over one of its main competitors. "e-gold had grown into a serious threat to our business model. This acquisition allows us to focus on our core business, which consists of providing our users with the much-needed suspense, drama and entertainment of never knowing for sure if a payment they just received is good or will be called back in the future." e-gold Ltd. chairman Dr. Douglas Jackson was on Spring Break and did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.

thanks for the email....this may change how some online businesses conduct tranactions....

are you sure it's not an April Fools joke?

You're welcome Matt.

Very good question Carrie! LOL I don't play April Fools jokes and I would certainly never do it on my forum. My sponsor wouldn't play an April Fools joke on me either. So from his perspective he believes it to be true. But if it's not, no harm has been done and I'll just be embarrassed and put a retration in my forum. I'd rather pass it on, in case it's true. My sponsor is a pretty good source of information and has been very reliable, so I would bank on it being true, but I don't know anymore than what he sent me. I was hoping if I posted this, that maybe someone else out there would confirm as well. We'll see. Thanks for visiting my forum.
