Apparently, as witnessed by many, lying to do business, is good business.

They created something people wanted and made money doing it. That's not easy in RL or SL. The charge that she isn't really a millionaire because she couldn't cash everything out immediately is absurd and juvenile. It's absurd because net worth is measured in assets, which includes cash, securities, stock, real estate, equipment and anything else you own that has a value on paper. It's juvenile because grown-ups don't whine about the successes of others. Congratulations to Anshe and Gunni.

Are fake announcements of forthcoming press releases a new marketing strategy and I missed out on the trend? I guess I have lots of questions for Anshe. Like for example are the simulators that she owns automatically replaced by the Lindens if they go down? (like mine is, for example). If not, then she should be ammortizing the assets. If yes, then I wonder if she has a special contract with the Lindens preventing them from doing a Bragg on her and seizing her assets "for any reason or no reason."

When they leave, they sell their land, sometimes back to her, more often to another resident. Does a landlord who own a building in a city consider that he has a building worth X minus Y for all the leases? Would it be different if they were all co-ops? I don't think so. I think it's a property that has X revenue coming out of it, that is also valued at Y. I'm not an expert on real estate, I only play one on TV. Korn, you have to read up on Cyberland and Google it and such to get the answers to that question. I'm glad she got the press release out so that Nobody Fugazi can end his nagging rant about how this story anticipating the press release is some kind of "advertorial," and implying there will never be a press release. That was truly lame!

If you consider those sims to be assets in the first place, then would you consider them to be assets belonging to Anshe, or to the residents that have purchased land on those sims?
