In the ongoing saga of Jasper Tizzy, I've been getting lots of instant messages asking me if I've heard anything new. I have heard plenty of things, of course, but there is not much to most of it other than smoke and mirrors. Previous reports still stand.

No Tizzy.

So today I got pulled in on a protest which included actual pictures of Jasper Tizzy with Philip Rosedale (click it for a larger view) - who somehow always seems to be pulled in, as he was in the Ginko Financial idiocy. There is a difference this time, though - apparently Philip took lots of shots with lots of people. No biggie.

Xavier Mohr is also wondering what is going on - there is a lot of conflicting information out there, very little in the way of credible sources ('my friend told me' is not credible). Jasper's real name is supposedly circulating, but no one really knows much. All sorts of allegations are out there, but the fact of the matter remains that there are few facts.

So - what we have are failed ATMs, conflicting information all over the place and lots of angry people. Sound familiar? It does to me. It is very similar to when Ginko closed its doors, though this time the community has been spared the drama of lowered withdrawal limits by the immediate creation of a withdrawal limit of 0 Lindens. Tizzy was apparently supposed to be back yesterday to address issues, but... nothing yet. And the claims that all ATMs of 'The Bank' would have a memory problem does seem a little thin.

With the history of the fall of Ginko Financial, where the community properly felt that there was nothing which they could do, the signs are beginning to show in this case as well. There is, apparently, a difference this time - people met Jasper Tizzy at SLCC. They have pictures of him, they claim to know where he lives (within the United States). Will that matter? No one really knows, but people are becoming angry.

As more develops, I'll put it out here - but the Magic 8 ball says "Outlook Not Good".

Regulation. Hah.
