description Gold & Silver Reserve's tangle with the US government is deepening. The company operates a bullion-backed "digital currency" unit called e-gold that US law enforcement officials say has become a popular payment system for online criminals.

Now the US Justice Dept. is demanding that the company forfeit more than $800,000 in two of its bank accounts.
