E-gold Account Blocked? How to resolve a block on an Egold account

Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later. After E-gold being indicted by the US Goverment a few months ago, it seems as though they are changing their ways. No longer will they be an anonymous e-currency like they had been for the prior 11 years up to this point. Over the last 1-2 days there have been a huge number of egold accounts being blocked. We believe they may be blocking accounts that they feel are involved in money laundering or illegal activity. They may also be blocking accounts that they feel have the wrong personal contact information associated with them. Here is a copy of an email E-gold will send you with the reason of the block:
Your account has been blocked under our Rights of Association clause in theaccount user agreement.
Quoting from the e-gold Account User Agreement:

Luckily E-gold promises to resolve the issue and unblock accounts as long as you send them information to verify your contact details in your account. Here is the email you will most likely get if you contact support about an account being blocked:
