The suspected links between World Stock Exchange owner LukeConnell Vandeverre and [w:Linden Lab]® may well be true, given that rumors indicate that Linden Lab is expected to go public on WSE at this point.
Apparently, talks with the Ancapex stock exchange failed because of technical issues as well as questions as to who truly owns what there. SLCapEx was also passed over, apparently due to issues with SLWallet buyback where some Linden Lab employees are suspected of having large holdings. VSTEX was considered too community oriented for Linden Lab. ISE apparently wasn't even looked at.
When asked to comment, Linden Lab suggested looking at Prokofy Neva's blog for details of the IPO since she would be 'the first to know'.
LukeConnell Vandeverre is probably quite busy right now trying to figure out how to delist the new IPO quickly so he can go swimming in his WICs on Facebook as well as integrating Mitch Kapor's Lotus 1-2-3 Technology into WSE to better serve Linden Lab. Philip Rosedale was unavailable for comment.

Certainly funnier than Bub's "L$ Income Tax" announcement, but a shame LL didn't join in with a gag too.

Silly..
How long you been holding onto that little nugget Nobody?
Logansan Oh
Since....
Rosedale stepped down. I had a really long and intricately detailed one set up that crosslinked everything to hell and would have sent trackback alerts all over the blogosphere, but I figured I would play nice.
It is, after all, a joke. The root of the humor, however, is in the ridiculous reality some try to perpetrate upon the unsuspecting. :-)
