Hello :)

I was wondering what kind of information Linden Labs employees are given over how much L$ will be placed for sale on the LindeX by Linden Labs and at what time/day and at what price. Is the information restricted to only one or two employees at Linden Labs, and if so, are they permitted to trade currency themselves on the LindeX, for personal gain? Do any other Linden employees have access to information regarding when and how much L$ will be sold and at what price by LL? And if so, are they restricted from personally trading on the LindeX?

I've been on SL for a good while and trust Linden employees immensely. But still, the best way to avoid fraud or market manipulation is to have certain rules of conduct in place for those who have such information, just like in the real world. Just wondering if there are any rules regarding personal currency trading and Linden employees with insider information on LL sale orders. I won't give any examples of how someone could take advantage of such information as I'm sure anyone qualified to answer this question can understand how such info could be abused.

Thank you & Cheers!
