On Second Life "Banks"

Linden Labs announced yesterday to ban all "Banks" in second life that have not a real world license.
They argue they had to do this, because these banks occassionally run away with their "customers" money... But hey, that is what a fraud is about! You can send your money to this guy in Nigeria, try your luck in a quick game on the street, or open an sl banking account ...

Panic hits the grid, "Banks" runs out of cash, ATM stops working...
The "Word Stock Exchange" gives out an audio message, that all this financial stuff is just kind of role play...

So take it like this, some people like to play the con artist, other the clueless victim it's all up to you how you create your second existence.
