EDIT Update.

Perhaps it may of been a "TYPO" but it is not a normal typo.....

http://www.whoismind.com/whois-error/zerohedges.com.html this is an uncommon error.

nslookup zerohedges.com gives you 199.188.204.177 ip.

Agreed, is there some indication of malware at the alleged site location?

I second the scammer tag.  The altered link for "zerohedges" is a malware site.

Is it?

Please give more details, as stated earlier I dumbly clicked on OP's original link, before it was edited by the mods.

Oh no!  I wonder if they'll shut down Mt. Gox's Dwolla account in the next couple months!  I guess we'll find out! 

And hopefully they don't start taxing the sovereign citizens of these united states. And have you heard about industrialization, it could end slavery.

Until further notice the implication that the OP led anyone to any malware site is FUD.

These guidelines have nothing to do with Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is not mentioned once.  Bitcoin is neither "convertible" nor "virtual", nor does it "substitute for" "real" currencies. 

Actually you are quite mistaken about this.  Bitcoin is CLEARLY a "value transfer system" which is HEAVILY regulated around the world.

My prediction:

1) mt gox gets shut down
2) btc_e gets shut down
3) bitstamp gets shut down
4) fastcash4bitcoins.com gets shut down
5) coingator.com gets shut down

Unless these exchanges (and all others) immediately cease and desist dealing with Americans I predict they get shut down in the next six months.  

People may end up in prison over this issue.  Even filing now as an MSB is too late.  These sites have ALL broken criminal laws within the USA.

And "mark my words".

there is a world outside of the USA. and that world has their own laws and rules. americans can travel to those countries and do legal things there (as long as they don't break the rules of their own country) so no offence, what you are saying is just bullshit

Yes, there are places you can have 5 wives...
And execute them for adultery, no offense...
But if you transfer digital currency to Americans or let them gambool...
The US Authorities will hunt you down like dogs (see Full Tilt Poker).

Basically, compared to Ripple...
The Distributed Exchanges batted round here are a joke.

Viceroy is just being realistic...
And I'm adding that Top 10 BTC Exchanges will be Ripple Gateways in 6 months...
Or it's gonna be the Dark Ages for Bitcoin.
