Well, the Assocation of Liberal Crime Squads, led by E. Albright had the bonds system, in which the LCS sells bonds to raise money for other LCSes. I could see those bonds being transferable and act as an alternative currency. Plus, they would count as 'securities', meaing they are under the rules of the SEC, meaning the LCS can be arrested for selling securities.

But, to put in bonds require a new interface to allow for the LCS to borrow money. And...erm, it could lead to problems. The LCS could decide to borrow millions, MILLIONS, and then accidently blow themselves up, defaulting on the bonds.
Somehow I don't think a terrorist orginization makes a good credit risk, but then again, given the lending practices over the past 8 years, it wouldn't surprise me to find them with million dollar loans.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.
