Nobody robbed you,  You are in a group that shares its liabilities between members.  If you don't want to be charged, leave that group or mention the charges to the group owner.  Some don't know they can change that in group abilities

You should come here asking questions about things that you find suspicious rather than jumping to conclusions and making accusations.

Given your SL birthdate, you are lucky you haven't encountered group liabilities before.  Many groups (especially non-store locations) figure that their group members should help pay for the weekly search fee.  The fee is L$30 and it gets split between the group member each week.  If there are more than 30 members, then a random 30 get charged L$1 each.

Hi, Icing.

As the others have pointed out, this isn't any form of robbery...it's just a case of you, or the owner of one or more of your groups, not understanding how SL works.  For more details, see my blog post, "Disappearing Dollars."

Only in SL does anyone cry robbery over 1/4 penny.

 

Also the OP does not know the definition of extortion. If anyone tried to extort 1/4 penny out of me, I would let them have it. Heck I would let them have a whole penny.

Heh I remember when I first found out about group liabilities. I had L$10 in an alternative and when I logged in a few months later it was all gone! It went to a friends group though so it's ok.

I believe the price of a Big Mac is US$3.99. There are 256 Lindens in a USD. That makes a Big Mac worth around 1021.44 Lindens.

Now, a Big Mac weights 216 grams (about 1/2 a pound) so 1/1000 of 216 grams = 0.216 grams. (Your L$1 buys 1/4 of a gram of a Big Mac)

Taking this a little further: A sesame seed weighs 0.00364 grams

0.216 grams of sesame seeds is... 59 seeds. (Your L$1 buys 59 sesame seeds on the bun of a Big Mac)

There are 350 sesame seeds on average on a Big Mac.

 

Brush off 1/6 of the seeds on a Big Mac bun and you suffer the same financial loss.
