Whoops...
Was out having lots of fun yesterday at a nice little furry Thanksgiving here yesterday, with Tyger and Sim, Joe and Carrisa, Jim, Carl and Marty, and had lots of great food and stuff. I even got to wear my Bleach hoodie. The day was good. But anyways, while we were hanging out, me and silverdark started talking about Second Life. I mentioned my fundage I had and he was like "Oh? But Ginko Financial went down a few months ago."
Ginko Financial would be the bank I used on Second Life, and kept some of the profits of my small but nice aircraft business. Or it was anyways. So when the bank tanked, it took about L$70,000 of my money with it, which was converted to a bond on a stock market website that runs off of Second Life, but then that tanked as well. So now I have 100,100 shares of stock that were converted from the bonds. Those bonds sell for a whooping L$0.031 right now. Oh boy. I'm now the proud owner of a stockpile of junk stocks worth L$3200.
Now, why am I rambling on about this? Well, that L$70k was worth roughly $250. Roughly. Real money. Those stocks are now worth about $12. Whoopty-dookin'-do. *sigh*
I wish Ginko had sent me a note that this happened instead of finding out 3 months later. *sigh*
