"The beauty of the L$ is that you don’t need to “trust” Linden Lab to keep it valuable. All you need is to have a whole huge marketplace with over 6 billion goods and services, and consumers willing to buy them. That’s what gives value to the L$ — and not Linden Lab, not even how much Linden Lab makes with Second Life (which is far less than what the virtual economy is worth)." Delete the scoop?

This is a tough one, because people outside the U.S. can have real difficulty buying Lindens directly from the Lab. However, I know of two SL users who had their Linden's drained by another avatar (using a scripted object), who then traded out what they'd taken via one of these exchanges. The exchange wasn't a direct party to the theft, just the mechanism the thief used before the Lab was able to remove the avatar from the grid. Delete the scoop?
