Personally I never saw much point in giving money to an ungoverned party to 'hold' and 'gain interest' on. I wouldn't trust anyone to it in RL and sure as hell wouldn't trust anyone in SL to do it either.

As such, this ban doesn't really effect me much except in terms of the search for land, which may or may not change depending on whether these companies just *stop* investing in land or continue under other pretenses (in which case they may find their customer base rather unhappy with them when they cannot liquidate their assets in an appropriate amount of time).

Given that some 'investment' companies have interests in land within SL, how do you think this will affect the land market?
