I'm glad you posted about this. I noticed it too and was checking the forums to see if anyone had proposed theories/answers to why the number was so high today.

Did some of the VC's at the Computer History Museum yesterday drop some serious cash...? I wonder how many Islands got bought and who dropped some serious moola to bling up?

I would not pay any particular attention to the "US$ Spent Today" statistic.

If I give you L$30,000 and you give it back, just using the direct right-click pay avatar option, then that number will go up $200 USD ($100 when I gave it to you, and $100 when you gave it back.)

It is entirely possible, with a pair of scripted objects to push that number into the Billions, should someone actually desire to do so.

That particular jump could just have been a land barron shifting money around between a few alts, or between employees.

That's a lot of shifting.

One could write a script that paid another script which in return paid the other script back and so on. I don't think one should but it would not be difficult. I expect you could make the daily "spent" volume look like just about anything you wanted this way.

I have no idea if this would be viewed as a Bad Thing, so kids, don't try this at home. It would not surprise me at all if someone did that at some point just to see if it worked.

It's over $7M now and the day isn't half over. Curious.

Yeppers, probably that. Although merely $7M means someone wasn't that efficient a scripter. ;)
