Is that like the money on the poker websites? Curious. Don't wanna derail but it sounded interesting.
I'm not all too sure about the poker websites. It basically works like this:
The game xxx uses the currency called "GOLD"
We have playera day and night "cheat" to get large amounts of "GOLD" quickly
Other player b log onto the websites, and spend real money, US Dollars, for a certain amount of "GOLD" in game xxx.
The player a who played to get the "GOLD" trades it to player B when player B's real USD goes through Paypal into Company accounts.
I basically am in charge of a certain section of a certain game ("Franz" server, for the game Lineage 2). When I recieve all the money in a given month (from various Player B's through the month), I withdraw it, and keep 40% for myself. The other 60% gets sent via Western Union to various "Player A"s in China who helped get the "GOLD" to sell, directly proportionate to the amount they put up for sale.
A breakdown of the cycle goes (excuse the 'stereotypical' names used, as it's just easier to I.D. who is who) Mr. Wong in china makes money in game, and sends money made in game to our company, via in-game trades. Our company sells money to John Smith in the united states. Andrew (ME, hoho) takes money that John Smith has sent to our paypal account for the in-game currency. Andrew takes 40% for himself, and sends remaining 60% (lesser or greater, depending on his contribution) back to Mr. Wong, and who ever else has provided the product to sell. Cycle continues.
It's hard to explain, usually in real life I just explain it as "Salesman," but I get strange looks saying that, as I'm only 17.
Everyone assumes the worst.
. I work with ige.com as well as yourvirtualseller.com which basically sell "virtual" currency (ie, currency in video games) for real life money. Most of the workers are chinese, and so they're all up during the US night time. I have to be up when they are to oversee and make sure things get done right.
