Or did you just decide you should step in and decide where every user can or cannot spend their imaginary money? Are you still taking the stance that $L has no real value?

However LL didn't just suddenly change policy for no reason. http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/01/02/use-caution-in-dealing-with-third-party-l-sites/ LL is stopping more ppl from being taken. Any unregulated bank in the US is not a bank you should be doing business with. Feel free to send me your L$ I offer you no guarantee and no interest. I will simply keep it. Have a great day :) Mar/Cat I think it’s a shame that some put their faith and L$ into others who ripped them off. However LL didn’t just suddenly change policy for no reason.

Thankyou, Linden Lab. Now... about those campers? My only complaint is that it should have been done a long, long time ago.

Thankyou, Linden Lab.

Too many gullible people have had their SL experience ruined by shark infested bad bank dealings. I support the lindens. Some say that if something is too good to be true (60% Interest), then it is too good to be true. Experienced people recognize that and they have no problems with the absence of such schemes. The inexperienced and gullible need a little protection, and that is what is being done. Genuine Banks, are exempt this change anyway, so for all concerned, true banks are here to stay. Smart move.

CC companies and paypal will be re-assured because they are legally licensed financial institutions who will now be able to enter SL without risk of being tarred with the "ginko" brush. Expect to see RL banks start to appear in SL. Offering realistic returns on your investment. (not the crazy figures offered by the scammers) @138 I have never seen so much bollocks in my life.
