Man. I could probably write an IPO that would have MD residents more willing to invest, and I have the anti-rep of being a goon looming over me. 
Woooooohhhh! Is that GoonBank or maybe BoonGank?
Lemme in there! (or is that lemming [never trust a spellchecker, especially if it's Nokia autocompleting words in text messages])
Already exists, obviously. But I kept it internal (inside Goonswarm only)...much easier to get the money I needed that way.

- Real life age, social status, sex, religion, or medical issues have nothing to do with gaming ability.
Age: LVV to the contrary, many younger players are less mature; this is a fact of life.
Social status: No comment here, aside from the fact that less well off people may not be playing eve.
Sex: Touchy one but often times female gamers really get into things, perhaps to make up for the supposed lack of ability.
Religion: yeah not really.
Medical issues: Beg to differ on this. Someone with ADD might be too easily distracted to handle the details of something like running a bank. On the other hand, it might work the opposite way if it's something they're genuinely interested in, to the point where they hyperfocus and work out every little detail; works that way with me, although I can't say whether it's ADD or a personality trait...maybe some of both.
To the rest of your post - like it or not, the residents of MD, or more specifically, the "20 or 30" you mentioned, are "better than everyone else" when it comes to things like this. They've demonstrated a level of trust and knowledge over the years, and if this fellow wants them to invest in him, or wants them to say "yeah looks good", he'll have to meet their standards. Again, like it or not.
