“The scrutiny comes after the Treasury Department ruled in March that firms issuing or exchanging online cash, including currencies not backed by a central bank, would be subject to the same money-laundering rules as traditional providers like Western Union Co. A number of firms have registered as money-transmission businesses since the agency issued the guidance, but Mt. Gox hasn’t done so, according to a FinCen list. The agency doesn’t have authority to take on Mt. Gox directly because it is based in Tokyo, but has fired a shot across the exchange’s bow by going after its U.S. subsidiary.”
