US regulator: Bitcoin exchanges must comply with money-laundering laws [and more]

http://j.mp/11gbfax  (ars technica)

    "The federal agency charged with enforcing the nation's laws against
     money laundering has issued new guidelines suggesting that several
     parties in the Bitcoin economy qualify as Money Services Businesses
     under US law. Money Services Businesses (MSBs) must register with the
     federal government, collect information about their customers, and
     take steps to combat money laundering by their customers."
