I agree
MA is walking on a thin line but that does not stop them implementing new economical upgrades to the game. Well that unstoppable urge to make the game grow is respectable and also made this game unique. You have to give them credit for that. We are feeding each other lots a negativity on this board which not always leads to an objective picture for the future.
Your post is a good one (+rep for that) it makes some very good points. I agree with you that by not investigating the owners of the Bank licence they cannot be sure what their intentions might be. The chance they are here for a scamm seems not realistic at all but
MA cannot ensure a high quality customer service to the players using the banks as a fact. They went from the point that if anyone wants to pay so much money for a bank licence he want´s to make a success out of it, and i think that is insurance enough. We only have to watch and see how it develops because otherwise the only thing we do is just pure speculation.
I also agree that LAW represented by a government or players will be dropping on the doorsteps of
MA HQ for sure. All professions have been changed to a slot machine type of virtual interaction which has no real difference to gambling at all except for the skills added during each session inside the game. The addictive factor behind this will make sure investigations towards the game will be dune by governments.
There are already several investigations dune by University Students, who also are players to this game, then it just takes some time when their results will reach someone inside the legal system and whim will follow on that initial research.
Especially when we see a tendency all over the world that the Economical liberalism is seeing the end of his days. Governments will be taking on a more educational/restricting role in the future so we just have to wait for Law reaching inside this virtual world.

IRL i would agree with you but not the same mechanics apply to this world. A closed economy wich feeds on constant depositting is not the same as real life economy. More people profitting will ensure a greater need for more depositters otherwise a huge deflation will arise. Withdrawels are handled by
MA they feed on Deposits to keep both in balance
MA will keep nerfing the lootpool to ensure just that.
