We're very active on squashing the financial side, and go out of our way to prevent cash-outs in these cases, even adding burden to third-party exchanges. It's best done with a multi-pronged approach, so our successes there don't stop us from supplementing with other approaches. Any additional ideas on squashing fraud are always appreciated, via mail to secur...@lindenlab.com. Please don't hold those discussions on this list. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
