So will the sale of these bank licenses add 4mil peds to the proverbial loot pool?

My guess is MA will make a FAT withdrawal of the largest ATH in virtual gaming history, lol.
(and crack open some champagne bottles as well )

Grats 2 U MAand all the winners!

Honestly I have to disagree. I think we all know by now that these are NOT banks. They are pawn shops. If anything, people clamoring to buy pawn shops reflects a very negative attitude towards the economy and a belief that there are going to be a lot of desperate people to be taken advantage of.

And what investors? Where are the real banks? Where are the new investors seeking new opportunities? I see the same old names. A vote of confidence from ND? Maybe it is a vote of confidence. Or maybe he is one of the people most heavily invested in trying to ensure EU has a bright future.

Anshe? Do we even know if thats really her?

Kitty Brice? Will she own the bank license longer than the 2 weeks she owned the LA she bought to resell? I guess we'll see.

Most people lose like crazy today. A few people get a huge HOF and you think this way .. lol ... that's no way to compare. (no offense meant in any way .. but you need to look at the bigger picture)

no .. its not that much. If you look, there are threads that talk about loots per hour and include the large HOFs/ATHs and the numbers come out very low. Summary of the theories ... MA is taking MUCH MUCH MUCH more from us then they used to ... and for what? (nothing worth while in the last 2 years)

Swedbank

As far as i can see Swedish bank Swedbank Bailed out and didnt get any license. Seems 2 me as NONE of the BIG INTERNATIONAL banks it has been such fuzz about won any license. HOPEFULLY its just a wise choice from them. To NOT bid.
