you can be sure that if the n/igra/s took the space monies then they already turned it into liquid assets… and by liquid assets i mean lemonade and grape drink

I made a 2nd blog posting out of all this, how we had no problems, and why security is a routine not a feature etc.

Should give some people more insigh to the incident etc.
So head over to http://blog.sl-investors-bank.com/2007/11/22/the-bank-heists-of-weekend-how-did-slib-react-fast-and-how-there-was-no-financial-loss-at-all-for-slib/
and read it for more details

My first blog posting was: http://blog.sl-investors-bank.com/2007/11/19/todays-attacks-on-sl-banks/ for those interested

To clarify: LL took back that 10mil L$ deposited to LNL promptly. I infact had even my account suspended for it! So infact, this STARTED way worse for me than the others.

@ Typo

I know about both Midas bank and the Allenvest financial liquidations and was planning articles on both, but with more detail. I wanted more information from Midas Commons before I started writing so I could compare the two actions.

And with the SLEC trying to step in with the WSE, I also need some time with them as well.

Its interesting that this story made headlines in the herald but there was not one word said about the whole MIDAS bank fiasco….You all know what I’m talking about where the WSE refused to make its quarterly payment then decided to keep the 3.5 million Midas had invested and declare Midas bankrupt…

Hmmmmmm, I had no idea. Nope, no idea at all this happened. Just fucking amazing. Whoever did this I’m sure he is pretty elite. Yes, he sure is.

I predict that this type of story will keep happening on a consistent basis and no longer become news thus no longer being reported…much like drive-bys in Compton.

Banking in SL will continue to be retarded until SL goes completely open source and/or some sort of ID verification system is setup so your RL identity is tied to your account and is somewhat accessible…just like regular internet transactions are now.

@ nimrod yaffle

It was suggested that the banks that were hit by hacks used the same script vendor, but I didn’t have proof of that when I was gathering information for the article because each bank was a little busy at the time. I suspected it, which is why I included the photo of the script vendor that provided the script for SL Business Bank.

@ roflkoptr

It was a suggestion that the two were related, but there is no proof of that.

The SL wealthy who invest and lose lindens in “banks” : I have no pity for.

If he/she would stand atop a building at Welcome Island or Welfare Island and make it rain on the poor with their folded lindens (not the change-may put an eye out): THAT would be more respectable.

The banking and stock exchanges are the biggest joke in Second Life. Nobody is stupid enough to continuing throwing ther money away to these bunko schemes. Interesting that all the “banks” were hit except one. Hmmm….
