btw, Jessica, I actually said BNT was an LLC already, we’ve been M2B LLC for many months now (date of formation January 24th, 2007). The other day I registered that Delaware LLC as a foreign LLC doing business in New Hampshire, in order to register our trade names, Brautigan & Tuck Holdings, BNT Financial, and Ancapistan Capital Exchange.

I was also able to confirm the following law here in NH:
a) payday loans, i.e. short term loans, have NO interest limits here in New Hampshire. The state legislature is trying to cap them at 36% now, but it likely wont pass. Payday loan companies typically charge over 300% APR equivalent in fees, so this demonstrates that, even in the real world, the interest rates that SL banks charge, and pay depositors, are not “unsustainable”.
b) unless BNT Financial reaches 25,000 USD in capital, no license is required in the state of New Hampshire. Our current deposits are 4 million L$, or about 15,000 USD, well within the limits.

Actually, its my bad latin. I used trinium instead of trinius. It may be because when I initially saw it mentioned, it was spelled trinium, and not trinius, in IM and it stuck in my head, even after it was corrected.

Angel Mootykips sayeth,
“Heh “Contractus Trinium” is one of those things that when googled only turn up the article it’s mentioned in. A Googlewhack”

Angel, actually what that means is your latin sucks, which is surprising given how educated you claim to be.

The actual term is Contractum Trinius. Google it, you’ll find lots of references. Don’t be a dummy, spell your latin right. What am I saying? This is the Herald….

Heh “Contractus Trinium” is one of those things that when googled only turn up the article it’s mentioned in. A Googlewhack ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlewhack )

Generally that means it’s made up.

“BnT is looking to the Middle Ages for a solution called “Contractus Trinium” where the depositor agrees to deposit a sum of money in BNT Financial for zero interest on a daily, monthly, quarterly, or annual period, the depositor agrees to purchase, from BnT, insurance against default in an amount of 2.5 L$ per 1000L$ deposited, per day and then the depositor, agrees to sell to BnT, all rights to profit from use of this capital, for the amount of 10L$ per 1000L$ deposited, per day.”

“Sorry dudes and dudetts, but Linden flucked us up. Now we gotta do this nother way cuz we don’t want mom finding out.
so.. give us your money, then pay us to insure it, then give us rights to use it then we do the big stuff called “contact us trilliam”. It’s on Wikipedia. we got LLC online so now we are real businezus. OH GOSH, mom’s home gotta go”

“In Ginko bailout news, Shaun Altman recently announced the sale of Ginko owned land netting L$300,000 for the Ginko depositors,”

Okay.

——————–
350,000 “L” dollars

“we now owe use peeps 350,000 L dollars, whew, I thought they would be calling Ginko a con scheme.”

“Our con didn’t work…hmmmm, now we’ll have to investigate how to make money in SL without offering any real services like before, with no skills, education, or financial backgrounds.”

“Oh wait, that is what our business model was before. Only difference is we cannot offer the interest which was our only non product that brought in the idiots.. Hmmmm….”

“OH GOD, I have it, I’ll create “SL-Wallet”, it’s smaller than a bank, and it too was designed to hold money! I am so darn smart I impress my self. Now, how to get other peoples L in my SL-Wallet.. hmmmm”

If you still get involved with SL banks at this point, you probably need to wear a helmet when you go outside. I had and still have no sympathy for people that lost large sums of money in these jokes. You probably should have lost more!

How about you just give me your money instead? I can guarantee the same type of return that Ginko or “The Bank” gave!
