The inactivity fee seems to only apply to USD amounts from sold L$ that have not been processed to the user's bank for 12 months, in accounts that have not been accessed in any way (including just logged into to check on) in that time. The verification seems to be a preemptive form of the current process by which a person's SL account gets locked after a certain amount of L$ has been withdrawn, until that information is provided. It seems that this will prevent SL account locking by requiring the information only for the financial aspect, and will do it up front to prevent surpris

Always wished it was bigger, though, and if a passable sea-connection is made between there and the new sea channe
