There have already been discussions about the effect of SL’s gambling scene on the monetary numbers LL provides as well as posts over a year ago on gambling scams (after all, the code in the virtual items is no less suspect than any other downloaded application).

The one I recall posting about was a story about people “rezzing” a game table, losing a few rounds and then when the stakes go up, using their back door access to the virtual device to take all the virtual cash. The only real surprise (to me, at least) being that so many people don’t realize how easy it is to do this.
