have you looked at the web site? something must cost real money. there are gift certificates for sale. the news article says that credit card info might have been gotten.

i think creating a virtual world for the groups jk did was great. ( asbargers....) but that isn't what second life is all about. the virtual people can really do what WHATEVER you want them to. fine for adults who are into that type of thing. i don't remember reading that second life STARTED out as way to help people. ( as username stated ) jl said he joined them in 2005. if there is info stating it was, please correct me.
