"First Bank of Agora" is a pretty misleading name. There have been many Banks of Agora in the past. Many of these have been scammed, too. I once became rich when there were two competing banks (each a contract), and they set differing exchange rates. (Both banks ended up better off from the point of view of the exchange rates they were offering, but I ended up with strictly more assets than I'd started with, and quite a lot more at that. So what actually happened is that the banks ended up stuck with assets that they incorrectly believed were valuable.) -- ais523
