Once again, it looks like Vstex is playing host to more Second Life drama. For the past few days, there were rumblings of a disagreement between Bob Perry and Mystic Boucher. Bob said that he was resigning and leaving Mystic in charge of SLC (a company that looks to me like a hodgepodge of various other companies like MDS and SLZ).

Mystic Boucher seems to want no part of the deal, saying "As of today, MDS now longer holds any Land Assets. They have all been successfully sold and merely awaiting payments to clear on the final sim. I do not have any other asset available to be disbursed to investors- with the exception of finding buyers for various aspects of our developments."

Both Mystic and Bob have posted today on their blogs at Your2ndPlace. From the looks of things, both of them will be walking away from the businesses and their investors. According to Samantha Goldflake from Vstex (via a comment on Mystic's blog post), Mystic Boucher acted like she never wanted to be involved in the companies. She then goes on to outline transactions into and (mostly) out of the Vstex system:

"...from August 31 to September 16 she deposited 10L$ into our system, while she did withdraw 333.896L$.

On August 30 SLC shares were imported into our exchange. SLC shares, not MDS. Mystik Boucher was credited 1.153.522 shares at a 2,90L$/share market value as "import from another exchange".

Mystik Boucher started selling her shares just a few hours later and the day after she withdrawed the first proceeds."

She goes on to ask Mystic to return the L$338,000 that she "gamed" from the Vstex exchange, so they can return the money to the shareholders. Bob asks Mystic, "When are you paying out the money for you made from the island sales to the investors?"

It looks to me like Mystic might be put under formal investigation, again.
