Virtual Bank Collapse Causes Real Pain

$750K losses in Second Life prompt calls for federal regulation

(NEWSER) - Ginko Financial, an unregulated investment bank that promised returns of up to 60%, collapsed recently, costing its customers 200 million Lindens—the currency of online virtual universe Second Life, where the bank existed. While the bank, managed by a mysterious, anonymous owner, catered only to computer-generated avatars in its 3 1/2 years existence, the money it lost—about $750,000—was very real. More»

Unemployment Falls to 8.1%, but News Not All Good

Just 115K jobs added in April: jobs report

(NEWSER) - The unemployment rate fell to 8.1% in April, the lowest it’s been since January 2009, the Wall Street Journal reports. But that still gets an "ouch" from blogger Steven Russolillo since just 115,000 jobs were added, when as many as 168,000 had been expected.

Improving economy will limit recipients after that, says CBO report

(NEWSER) - We earlier reported that 45 million Americans are currently on food stamps, and a new report out of the Congressional Budget Office puts that number in perspective: The number of food stamp users has jumped 70% since 2007, and shows no signs of stopping. The CBO expects it to rise for two more years. In 2007, the program cost $30 billion; the figure has risen to $72 billion, the Wall Street Journal reports, with the bulk of that spending increase due to the increased rolls. More»

Poll: Romney Catching Obama

Reuters finds two in statistical dead heat

(NEWSER) - Rick Santorum's exit from the GOP race has given Mitt Romney a boost in his face-off against President Obama, according to the latest Reuters /Ipsos poll. The poll found that Obama's lead against Romney has shrunk from 11 points a month ago to just four points now. Some 43% of those polled back Romney, while 47% support Obama—a statistical dead heat. It's as close as they've been since early last November when Romney had a single-point lead over Obama, his only lead since Reuters started head-to-head polling last May. More»
