not strange at all Ajack, reporters get things wrong all the time and don't really bother diving deep into things to see if what they're writing is 100% correct. I guess they just assumed there was already a real life bank connected to PE from what they heard about money transactions and banking licenses and such. Then they put it all together and make as good a description as you can of the game in a few minutes.
They have a difficult job reporters, always doing new things, not having much time to gather all the information and then have to compress all their material to a few minutes. It can be kind of annoying watching stuff you know really well but that news clip wasn't meant for us anyway, we already knew all that and more.

Well, the only thing insteresting is that they said you have to pay taxes when you withdraw money - still nothing on what you do when you deposit them.

And we all know there are not aprox' 600 000 people "playing" Entropia.

That's probably a very plausible explanation...

A very good clip nonetheless.

Exactly!
I need to call the tax office and ask them about this, maby I can get some tax back.
U can deduct losses on the stock market, so why not here?
Since we have our deposits recorded maby one could work something out.
Not likely, but I can atleast give it a try

I just spoke to a tax man about it and he's going to call me back tomorrow, he made clear this was a question outta the ordinary
If I get some proper answers I post it in another thread, think it's gonna be a NO thou.
