This is also confirmed by Jon "Neverdie" Jacobs in a video interview I posted here:

Video Interview with Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs.

Does anyone have any further information on this?

I haven't seen anything official from MindArk yet about this, although it does seem that the news is already out there in the wider media.

Jacxz, just like MRmP you appear to have missed the point of this thread.

The press release that you haved linked to is OLD NEWS from Tuesday, and it has already been discussed in the following thread:

Virtual World Entropia Universe Issues First Ever Virtual Banking Licenses for $400,000

As I already mentioned in my second post in this thread, there was no mention there of a "German Internet Bank", just the quote:

"Avatar Janus JD D'Arcwire, representing a real life bank (more
information to follow) - paid $59,060"

The purpose of this thread is to ask if anyone has any further information regarding the purchase of a banking license by a "German Internet Bank".

There is no need to post links to old information that we are all already well aware of.

Im confused...

If its a well know participant, than how can they have a second avatar to use for bidding on the bank?

im pretty sure the EULA discusses this in great detail....
