... and the US stock market is a game (especially when the players are leveraging 35 to 1).  The irony is rich.

I had actually been thinking of checking the game out again.  It looks like they've done some nice graphics overhauls.  Definitely not putting money into it, but I am curious.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

I thought they already had 4 banks backing them, also, i think they are listed as an online casino, not a game, or virtual world. The "Insured" is new to me.

Do online casinos normally become banks?

Anyone for mortgage-backed securities based on virtual assets?

(Edit: hey guys, we could package them up with the real world mortgage-backed securities ...)

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

And with relaxed regulation, they can turn themselves into an Investment bank.

I have an Idea!

The scariest part is that Project Entropia is probably more financially stable than Citigroup these days.
