Wish I knew. Hope you get your money back.
It might have taken a hit from being invested in WSE or Gambling I guess.
Or the Owner Ponzi'd on you.
Sadly, none of these "banks" are regulated in the slightest.

I am sympathetic, but putting lindens in a SL "bank" is very, very risky especially now. I hope you don't have a lot in there. In RL, *part* of the reason you put money in a bank is that it is safer there and is backed by the FDIC.
Putting money in a SL bank is like handing it to an individual for safekeeping. They don't have to give it back and we all know the response you'll get from LL if they rip you off.
Hell, if its that easy I'm opening a "Bank of Plato" branch tomorrow on my land. 20% interest!! Minimum investment $300,000L--any takers?
That being said, its probably all the grid problems that have them down. I would say there is a good chance you'll gain access to your funds in awhile. If you have a significant amount of money in there though, I would take it out when and if you do gain access. $1000 lindens or so might be fun to keep in something like a SL bank -- just for kicks since that translates into a small RL amount of money.

NNBank had technical troubles with their ATMs for about a week last fall. Is the bank still run by nonnux White? Anyway, at that time, all the ATMs went dim and people in the nnbank group were panicking. It turned out that the owner was away on vacation, or too busy with RL to fix a critical bug in the ATM. I was quite impressed that he got the atms online eventually and gave me my money after such a panic and angry mob swelled up. I assume he made good on everyone elses account as well. I put down my rake and torch, and no longer held hard feelings against the bank. However, this action not enough to make up for the fact that he went away without leaving anyone in charge, with no communication to the customers. So I never put my funds back again. It sounds like on the whole he's built the bank up again, even without my enormous funding  j/k My point is that if its the same owner still, he might be on vacation again. And, if you feel like doing something brash or vengeful, at least wait a few weeks. Its the summer.

Thx for your message.
For sure he wasn't on holiday now. Because he replied once, saying other people had reported the same issue with not getting the money. But after that nothing more. He's just leaving me with no further information.
