Interesting Article

| Sheffie Cochran is a banker with over $20,000 in her "Second Life" vault. She has never worked on Wall Street, much less as a bank teller, but as the virtual character (known as an avatar) Lindsay Druart in "Second Life," she runs the L & L banking trust, providing loans and savings accounts for 400 people. "I've never worked at a bank in my life! I had to pull out Business Week and all kinds of books to learn what to do," said Cochran. She said she earns $500 a month on "Second Life," enough to pay her rent in Augusta, Ga. http://www.abcnews.go.com/Technology/Story?id=3527537&page=1 |

| I wonder where that $500 came from? Earned legitimately, or by milking her failed companies? Maybe she still doesn't understand the whole "public" nature of her ventures. Well, you get what you pay for people. Giving your money to someone who knows nothing about finance might not have been the best idea. You know what they say though, a fool and his money are soon parted. |
