SLReports.net An Editorial I try not to editorialize the financial news side of Second Life in regard to specific companies or exchanges This time is different. If you like, please consider this opinion... but everything in it is sheer fact. On September 26, 2007, Robo Marx commented at the SL Capital Exchange, at Your2ndPlace.com, and here at SLReports.net, saying in no uncertain language: "Investors do yourself a favor and sell all the stock and get your money out of these exchanges." Imagine my surprise when I went to the Ancapistan Capital Exchange homepage this morning and found the following announcement from IntLibber Brautigan: Today, 00:05 system announcement
by IntLibber Brautigan BDVR - Blue Diamond Virtual REIT Approved For IPO

An Editorial I have officially stepped away from the work side of SLR for a few days. I am not going to be logging into Gmail or Second Life, really, until probably the weekend. Having read all the comments on all these stories, though, I have decided to ask our readers a couple questions. Now, take this as what it is: an editorial from a Second Life CEO that has been around the SL finance community for a while. But also take this as a bit of insight from a former official for the SL Capital Exchange... that still does work from time to time verifying IDs. I'm asking your opinion on this, so please comment. Do you think SL exchanges changed the rules mid-game for existing CEOs? Do you think there is a double standard in the implementation of real-life standards by Second Life exchanges?

Well, with all the drama involving Midas Bank and other publicly-listed companies here lately, I thought it would be nice to use a bit of my free real-life time to write about something more lighthearted. Don't ask me how I ended up at IntLibber Brautigan's virtual bachelor party last night. I had not been in Second Life for almost a week, and logged in pretty much to clear my messages... deciding to stay out of boredom. As I downed another whiskey sour, though, I started thinking about IntLibber Brautigan. Of course, Int and I have had the pleasure of sharing in a few of the same high-profile crises – the Sal Ackland / Investor Allen accusations, the delisting of Brautigan & Tuck Holdings not too long ago, the teenage-run SmartVest Bank scandal, and just yesterday we found ourselves at the same bank collapse party.

SLReports.net Well, it has been a long time, but here I am. Back in the saddle. Ready to catch up and see what's going on in SL. I have to admit to you, I have been drinking a tad tonight... first Corona and finishing it up with a bit of Budweiser, but I think I can fake my way through at least one article. Here goes.

How much real-life action is too much with
Second Life investment fraud?By Xavier Mohr
SLRepports.net
An Editorial
I received an email earlier from a friend, asking me about Jasper Tizzy's real-life information. While I did not know Jasper all that well aside from random IMs, my friend - like many of us - had made a well-researched connection that Jasper was likely Frank Corsi - formerly of Florida, now reportedly living in Indiana. I should note that this cannot be proven to my knowledge, but is a strong possibility based on all evidence available. The email indicated that we should, "... get his real life info for the community." Stop. "Hold it right there," I thought to myself. This was going a little too far for me. Those of you that know me know I am committed to transparency, honesty, and my own real life is basically an open book compared to some. I am very easy to find in real life. However this is not the case with a lot of Second Lifers. As Strange Ranger reported at Strange's Second Life Blog , if Tizzy is Frank Corsi in real life, he may have good reason to want his information to remain a secret.

When the fantasy dies, what are you left with? Second Life romance is a subject that we've never really talked about on SL Reports. It's something that, in general, is not discussed with any depth in the Second Life media.
For those of you that are unaware, I served a number of years as a Community Leader for AOL/ACI back in the "AOL Heyday," before a bunch of CLs in New York got smart and sued ACI for wages. Recent talks with friends about their online relationships, partnerships, and even Second Life 'marriages' have inspired me to write on this, though. I've seen my share of online romances and been right there with the parties involved when things go bad... and of course when they turn out well.
