RMT Stopper - Transaction Clearing

[Kerberon]

I'm honestly surprised that they just haven't made everything btcoa and gotten rid of the market board. There was a FinCen in the US ruling that went into effect in March that stated that companies that administrate virtual currencies that are traded for real money must comply with banking regulations to prevent money laundering. Since SE from my understanding would be effected by this even though they only control half the process I'm surprised they haven't eliminated their liability by just binding everything to character on acquire.

FinCen regulation FIN-2013-G001 (pdf)

Per regulation, any online game with "currency" is considered an administrator

"An administrator is a person engaged as a business in issuing (putting into circulation) a virtual currency, and who has the authority to redeem (to withdraw from circulation) such virtual currency."

This feels like more inconveniencing of regular players in attempt to catch RMT via scorched earth tactics.

If this was implemented back in Alpha, it wouldn't have inconvenienced me once, but it would have allow the economy to growth at a more healthy rate, and benefit majority of the players.
