But "Imaginary Banking" Is Redundant...

"Bank failure is getting a dry run in the multiplayer online game EVE. In recent weeks, EVE's largest player-controlled bank has hit the skids after one player embezzled and sold for real the InterStellarKredits -- ISK -- that are the coin of the imaginary realm. That caused a run on the bank. Then came an admission from Ebanks's CEO of bad management, followed by a string of loan defaults. Now the bank has frozen customer accounts."
