Most have now heard the sad news of the passing away of Geyl Fapp of Geyl Fapp Productions (GFP), this was announced by Vincent Sideways on Saturday morning. LukeConnell Vandeverre the CEO of WSE has paid tribute to Geyl describing her as one of Second Life's greatest residence and that she will be missed for ever. Vincent the current CFO appears to be in line to become the new CEO, these duties I'm sure far from his thoughts at present.

WSE remains closed with no reopening date announced, there was strong backing for WSE 4.0 from CEO Sarah Nerd of Sarah Nerd Estates and Mainland Holdings (SNE) who is looking forward to a bright future, this view is still shared by many of the current CEO's listed on WSE. It doesn't appear that Ivan Halfpint will be part of that future or at least not with Fund Second Life (FSL) who have parted company with his services due to “disagreements”. Ivan will no longer be Senior Advisor or on the Board of Directors of FSL.

Sun Media Consultants (SUN) issued their first quarter financial report showing total revenue of L$3,000, the CEO Ace Baker seems to have taken his eye off the ball! This announcement is the companies first since 2^nd January 2008 when Ace announced he was looking for additional funding streams and a new Board of Directors. I presume he's still looking, maybe an opportunity for a recently sacked Senior Advisor?

In contrast strong earnings are reported by Fashion and Gadgets (FAG), although extraordinary expenses for March results in a L$200k loss. Shareholder communication by CEO Lucky Raymaker is reliable with aggressive expansion announced, shareholders may be a little disappointed that dividends will be suspended for the foreseeable future, however most shareholders will appreciate that there is always a balance between rapid expansion and dividend payments. It will be interesting to see if Lucky can pull this off, at least there appears to be a genuine drive to succeed and that alone will satisfy many shareholders.
