There is an interesting article in today’s National Post about a banking crisis that is happening on Second Life. Similar to the “real” world, some financial institutions on Second Life appear to have been offering “eye-popping” interest rates on cash investments. Some of these virtual institutions are now on the verge of collapse and their store fronts are being surrounded by mobs of angry avatars. On one level humourous, on another level satisfying that there is not much difference between our physical and virtual worlds and, as always, there is no free lunch.
