He originally joined second life on 22/06/2007 under the name Bicket Burt, which account he later cancelled. He soon got into building and hanging around Dutch sandboxes with in particularly the one in the Schoondamme community. After some good practice building houses, Verone got into making clothing using the program Paint. Not the most amazing clothes, you can imagine. But at that time on Second Life, they were pretty decent. He even opened his own inworld storebuilding in Schoondamme and made some really good sales for someone who had only been around on this virtual community for 2 months. With the profit he made he started investing in land, although he wasn' aware of the monthly tiers you were supposed to pay for parcels at private sims, and thus he lost his parcels just a few weeks
