Good to know congress is aware . This can be really complex problem. Let's say you are taxed but how about money transfers between physical country boundaries? Same problems with money laundering, scam etc. All the problems we face in real world now we face in virtual. Plus on top of that SL can be used as a mechanism for financial machinations. Does it mean SL has to create another virtual layer of financial rules and regulations we have in real life? I don't see how this can be addressed other than government will limit what can you do with money in SL.
