“Federal officials have ordered PayPal, the popular online payment service, to turn over customer records as part of an investigation into tax cheats who hide money overseas.”
“Authorities also hopes the records will help identify customers whose credit card numbers were obtained in previous summons that were issued to Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Nowhere in the court records was there any mention about how many individuals the government has already received information about or estimates of what PayPal will provide.”
Lovely - soon you’ll have to turn your pocket change in too if things keep going this way. They’ll argue it on money laundering and national security grounds - rolled up quarters can be used as a weapon.
