Har is right. I dis Fox because I hold all the TV News outlets here in low regard, but for actual news reporting I give them the edge over CNN. I watch them both, along with BBC and figure it out for myself.

How can they transfer money in and out and remain anonymous? just make a 'anonymous alt' have that alt make a account at slexchange.com withdrawl money thru slexchange.com all you have to enter in is your paypal email addres and within the hour the money is out from one person account and in someone elses... pretty easy _____________________
InSL u find every kind of no-life retard you could possibly imagine as well as a few even Tim Burton couldnt imagine u find 12yr-olds claiming to be 40 men claiming 2 be women, women claiming 2 make sense and every1 claiming 2 have ideas that are actually worth a damn if only someone would just listen to their unique innovative and exceptionally important idea

If we learned anything from 9/11, it's that the market for Terrorism Experts is incredibly elastic.
 I dunno... considering the media spotlight on SecondLife and the amount of stuff the Lindens log, I'd think RL terrorists could find better venues. Or perhaps it's all disinformation. Once the terrorists are SL-addicted, they'll never have time for FlightSimulator. [Qie imagines OsamaBinLinden Fairymeadow at Orientation Island, trying to remove the AK-47 from his butt.] |

The anonymity is achieved if the money comes in through one av buying L$, the money then changing hands in-world in ways designed to prevent following its course, and the money eventually being withdrawn by an apparently unrelated av. That's the basic template for money-laundering of all kinds, whether you try it in SL or RL. The transaction feeding money into the laundering contraption is not anonymous but seems perfectly legitimate. Same for the transaction taking the money out. The point is to make them appear to be completely unrelated transactions, so money goes in "dirty" but comes out "clean." I am reluctant to say this, but this IS one reason that the Feds targeted net Gambling, the games can be Easily Rigged, and it would be problematic to seperate legit payouts from the Laundered fund payouts. Not only that the revenues from the gambling it's self can be used to bolster the funds available to the terrorist Cells. Now of course i am referring to the REAL net gambling, Not the Penny Ante games of SL, BUT SL did get caught along with the Bigger fish in the fine net cast by the Government. While the article MAY be alarmist about the presence of terror in SL, The Reason we Now face some regulation is fallout from Other more Vulnerable, or Suspect net ventures. Even SL is Not a World isolated from the Problems of the "Meat World". Angel. |

Fox News mainly does two different kinds of shows: Opinion shows, which it is mostly famous for, and which in general are conservative bias-fests and plainly presented as such; and straight news shows, which are not bias-fests at all. Can't say I agree with you there. Fox is a bias fest through and through, even when they're pretending to be delivering straight news. They constantly use sleazy dishonest tactics. They make outrageous statements in text at the bottom of the screen but phrase them as questions so they can get away without any facts to back them up. Another trick they use all the time is to make dubious statements with no source prefaced by "some people say." That way they can say extremely outrageous things while pretending they're just quoting other people. There's a memo that goes out every morning telling them how to spin the news for that day, what phrases to use and not use, what things to push and what to bury. Fox News is a propaganda outlet and any similarity to actual objective news reporting is purely cosmetic. http://youtube.com/watch?v=fpChNJbILZM http://youtube.com/watch?v=cuorIjt1HG0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=E98jnApb3Tw _____________________

Everybody keeps dissing Fox News, and it looks to me like they don't know what they're talking about. Fox News mainly does two different kinds of shows: Opinion shows, which it is mostly famous for, and which in general are conservative bias-fests and plainly presented as such; and straight news shows, which are not bias-fests at all. . Funny. I've only ever seen the former, and not the latter. _____________________
