[quote=hisah]@murchr - I'm waking up to the Cyprus news and this sh** aint funny. Cyrus bailout terms is utter robbery by the state!? 10% one-time tax will be recovered from each account in any of the local banks?! Poor savers, Monday is a bank holiday in Cyrus meaning they can't withdraw deposits. Convenient the holiday for the banksters to avoid a bank run. Actually this is not a state bailout, but a bloody 'bail in' since the depositors/savers money is being seized (taxed) to hand over the bailout! Of the 10B EU is to provide as bailout is actually being paid by the Cypriot savers at almost 5.8B?! Almost a third of the GDP of Cyprus. Parliament has sunday & monday to ram (pass) a bill to make the one-time tax (seize aka confiscate) on deposits (100k euros & above and 6.75% tax for less than 100k) legal. Aicaramba! Madness galore
@kk - I think euroland is just about to tip with gubberments getting really draconian

this type of thing i.e getting into client's accounts, could never happen in an African state. people would do weird things if any government tries such a stunt
