An interesting read, suggest others who have an interest in so called virtual finance have a read through too.

No problem Polly. Praise was due. No wind up love


BTW. Real life imitates virtual reality. If you are UK based you possibly know about the issues (and demise of Northern Rock) a UK main bank

If you are US based for info Northern Rock was the 5th largest UK mortgage bank, not as important as Fanny and Freddy but comparable to perhaps a reasonable size savings and loan bank.

Lots of similarities between Northern Rock and Ginko/other SL Banks.

Do a Google on Northern Rock, suggest you stick to reputable news sources for info such as Reuters/Bloomberg and you will see what I mean.

Ultimately Northern Rock was nationalized (taken into state ownership) Ginko and other SL financial businesses are allowed to fail or are banned. But what they all have in common was an unviable business strategy. We shall ultimately see if either Linden Labs or the UK Government have the right viewpoint

Just a suggestion for another article as VR finance can be used as a tool to preview real life actions, as it (VR) is used in the construction business
