In what was a heated gathering at Midas Bank headquarters today, bank CEO Midas Commons admitted that the institution was currently "in limbo," as the World Stock Exchange (WSE) had defaulted on a scheduled payment of the Hope Capital Bond (WSE: HCB) which represents about L$650,000 of income for the esteemed financial institution.

Commons reported that Midas Bank had upwards of L$3.5 million invested in the HCB, and would rely on the bond payment to fund the depositor's reserve.

Ancapistan Capital Exchange (AnCapEx) Chairman IntLibber Brautigan agreed with a statement by Midas Commons in which a boycott of the WSE was proposed until it made good on its bond payment.

"LukeConell is not a fraud or theft master," said Smithers Daviau, a representative of the WSE present at today's gathering. Aside from statements and excuses from Smithers and one other WSE employee, however, regard for Second Life's oldest and arguably most opaque securities exchange was not so positive.

Commons further reported that the bank currently had around L$8 million on deposit, and a total loss of value in its HCB holdings would represent a loss of about L$5 million – and unavoidable bankruptcy for the financial institution.

In attendance at today's Midas Bank gathering were Second Life financial figureheads such as Arbitrage Wise, IntLibber Brautigan, JP Strauss, Reina Ferraris, and numerous Midas accountholders.

The absence of a regulating financial authority on SL has resulted in a situation whereby individuals can act dishonourably (in a professional sense) with impunity.

I believe that the best instruments we have to protect ourselves as bank customers, are RL tools and means to not put everything into one basket.

No self imposed authority can change things and whenever one doesn't want to follow those rules, he can turn his back or, worse, leave SL taking all of the banks assets with him.

Then you have to resort to RL laws and courts, if you really want to do something.

In SL banks and other financial insitution should cooperate not by forming authorities, but sharing informations and ideas, procedures.

Investors should be more careful, anyways. This should be expanded, eventually.

I agree on that with you, Samantha Goldflake. However, not anyone at the feels like that and there are not much people making the decisions here at the WSE.
