The Metaverse Journal: World Stock Exchange facing legal problems?

  • Luke Connell · 1 year ago
    Hello,

    Sorry I missed you. Yesterday I had installed the Second Life viewer on the Linux Ubuntu operating system. In the process of using the software for the first time I came across a few challenges and it may have had me as away when I wasn't even logged into SL.

    Thanks for your comment Luke. The story wasn't alleging you were liable just that you may be facing legal issues i.e. someone making a claim against you.

    Luke states "The World Stock Exchange (WSE) is a Fictional Securities Exchange and Banking service developed for educational and entertainment purposes and is not a real life securities exchange and bank." I think the fictional part was added after the WSE accumulated some real value. Also, I read this to mean that Luke can, at anytime, take any value which "fictionally" exists in the exchange and cash it in for real life United States Currency, to spend as he pleases.
