*ponders* After all the posts about Ginko, after all the posts about people not getting their money back, after all the complaints that SL banks are just frauds, someone still had to be silly enough to give a complete stranger their money and have the stupidity to expect that money back and then some.

If this was a cartoon, I'd start checking for anvil shadow..

Would that be an "Acme Anvil", perhaps?

This is in responce to a ticket I sent in WOW talke about fraid LL have fallen BIG time THEY have become the crooks.. I would REALLY suggest that no one put any cahs into SL...they reall have become crooks in a BIG way ;-(
Its to bad really SL was really a great place for a really long time...noot eLL is just a bunch of thievs

Solved:
(1/11/2008 9:13 PM PDT) Greetings,

Some may argue that Residents who deposit L$ with these “banks” must know they’re assuming a big risk – the high interest rates promised aren’t guaranteed, and the banks aren’t overseen by Linden Lab or anyone else. That may be true. But for all of the other reasons we’ve set out above, we can’t let this activity continue.

i'm sorry you made a bad choice with your money. but you are a big boy and you made a bad choice. i hope you get some of your $ back. it's your own responsibility to safeguard your own money, not LL's. and this is exaclty why LL has to play 'big brother' and banks are now being banned... (here comes the cold hard facts): to protect people like you from your own ignorance.

best of luck.

It would be LL as the thief and the fraudster
btw I have already had my lawers start the paper work on it.
O did ya know that LL can get audited for the taxes to.. ofcourse that would screw everone over.. but it is something I would do if nothing eles works ;-)


So you told your lawyer you deposited money in an unsecured, unregulated, untaxed bank with game ticket type money?

And that its likely a small time Ponzi Scam?

And you want to sue to allow it to keep going?

You are wasting your time and money. The people you should be going after is whatever bank you put your money in. Seriously, are you going to sue the president because Bank of America went belly up, or was fraudulent in its transactions?
(sorry of the comparison between LL and a president, I was going to use god, but decided against it :P)

BTW, what did your lawyer say? if he takes this case, he's likely to either have it thrown out by the judge, or disbarred for bringing a frivolous suit

Must have been a shitload of money if it is worth the expense of a lawyer.

You might find it interesting to look at the thread starter's first ever post on the forums, some time ago.

Lionel Hutz:

[img=http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1192/lionelhutzjg8.th.jpg]

From the Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Hutz):

He is an inept ambulance chaser and, to quote Lisa, a "shyster" whom the Simpsons nonetheless repeatedly hired as their lawyer (a fact remarked on by Marge in a typically self-aware aside). At one point, he claims to have graduated from Princeton school of law, although Princeton has never had a law school. His legal practice, located in a shopping mall, was named "I Can't Believe It's A Law Firm!" and also offered "expert shoe repair". He often tried to entice potential clients with free gifts, including a "smoking monkey" doll and a business card that "turns into a sponge when you put it in water."

:p

Don't worry. The lawyer in this case is as imaginary as the device the OP has that can rip scripts.

Excuse me...is this where the "education and awareness" thread went to?

He he.
I Take back everything I said about gentle mods:

*Reaches back to her Catholic School Days and falls to her knees: "Oh Dearest Moderator, You are so just and wise. We beseech Thee and Thy Grace, to give us strength to weather these assaults on our sanity, and for Thee to come with Thy Sacred Locking Implements, and to use them as Thou see fit in Thy Infinite Wisdom, to swiftly and mercifully cause those who would trespass against us to to Shut the Fucketh Up."

Or send in Brother Maynard with the Holy Hand Grenade. Amen. Dominos,Dominos,Pizza Hut.



Damn Brenda, that was funny as HELL! ROFL XD xD
