From yet another article that simultaneously makes me wish I played Eve Online and reminds me why I don't play Eve Online:

Players of the sci-fi game EVE Online experienced another parallel yesterday between what happens in the game's virtual economy and the real-world financial woes that have hit the banking industry. EBANK -- the game's largest player-run financial entity, disclosed that they are 1.2 trillion ISK (InterStellar Kredits) in the red, and froze the accounts of all players and player organizations which had invested with the bank.

Now keep in mind that isk are kind of like lira in that the numbers have a lot of gratuitous zeros they really don't need. I'm pretty sure 1.2 trillion isk wouldn't even buy you an epic mount in World of Warcraft.

MMO site Massively has the details here.
