I was referred to this you tube video, which appears to show the inside workings of LL. It's way too funny!

I know that BNT is highly criticized for its actions at times, however i feel that it's a well run company in spite of all the political drama. I've spent time with most of the VPs and feel that they are focused and passionate about making BNT the best it can be. Yes, like any company there are issues that must be addressed. However, the fact remains that there are many public positives that get overlooked.

It seems this was never picked up by the press:
----
From Nov 8th -
http://ancapex.net/home/story/BNT/26

BNT NAV = .60 Due to Stock Restructure
Please note that as we deleted 67 million shares of my BNT stock, to bring BNT into compliance with the SLEC's 60% rule (which we are not obligated to comply with as BNT IPO'd prior to the rule being passed, but felt it was important to comply with the spirit of SLEC standards even when not obligated to do so), BNT's NAV from its Sept 10 financial statement should be revised upwards to .60 L$ per share.

Furthermore, the completion of our stock exchange project adds significant value to BNT itself beyond the enhanced value to its land. We believe investors should look toward the next quarter financial statement positively in this regard when they are trading BNT.
-----

Aside from the SLEC (which, before you flame, is not the point here), I believe IntLibber has listened to shareholder sentiment. A lot of shareholders, including myself, have always felt that the total count was too high and have said so many times. By wiping out his own shares, IntLibbler reduced share count from 130 million to 63 million shares. His holding of that float amounts to 38 million, or roughly 60%.

I feel that this is a positive for shareholders of BNT.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ashleigh Wade, a business owner and very very very busy person just like all of you :) I've been in SL for a little over a year now and I've been lucky to experience so many great things. I've also been fortunate to have met, and worked with, a lot of the people that blog here. Aaannnd I've also had my share of loss and drama, but we won't talk about that now ;)

I want to share with you something I ran across in the SLX forums. This is an entry from Ford Edelman a/k/a Balance Writer. To bring you up to speed (in case needed), Ford has a company listed on WSE. It has halted trading (may be temporary) while he serves in Iraq. He is a US soldier. While he's away I am acting as Interim CEO of FED.

More importantly though, Ford is a great friend.

I had to cut my last post short because a mortar round impacted about 75m from where I was sitting while I was typing. The good news is that I was able to get back to my duty position in time to return fire.

I am really proud of the way my guys perform their duties on a daily basis. We got visited AGAIN by an officer in a high place, because he was so impressed with our speed and accuracy. I really wish I could go into details, because the mission was truly an amazing feat.

Just to give everyone a reminder of the things I will not discuss here:

1. Injuries or deaths of any personnel, friendly or enemy.
2. Capabilities or limitations of my unit.
3. Size and strength of my unit.
4. Actual names, ranks, or duty postions.
5. Rules of Engagement.
6. My personal opinion of the US Government.
7. Anything else I don't feel the need or desire to talk about, or that I feel you do not have a need/right to know.

Here are things I will discuss:
1. My personal feelings about things I have seen/done. { Read more }
