Quoted: Oh im pretty sur barry will come to the rescue with chinese money to "bail" them out... FBHO! Bailouts or no bailouts are irrelevant now because confidence in the cypriot banking system is now virtually dead. As soon as the cypriot banks finally open back up, there will be a mad dash for cash as depositors rush to get their money out of the banks. Plus, runs like this can easily spread to other countries because people in places like italy and spain (for example) will be asking themselves "Can this happen here and can my deposits be seized overnight in order to cover bad bank debts and sovereign debts that I was not responsible for?" and many of those people will answer their own question with a "Yes" and, then, the run will be on. |

If you knew the government could just come in a seize between 6 to 10 percent of your money directly out of your bank account whenever they felt like it then how much would you trust your local bank to keep your money safe? |

If the IMF and World Bank got away with stealing funds in Cyprus, it would have spread to the PIIGs and then to the rest of the EU. It would then come here.
Bet anything if it had gone through, the President of Cyprus would have been hit by the Russian Mafia. |

Paraphrasing a comment in the last article in the OP-" Currency is just a medium of exchange. When the currency becomes corrupt you need to get out of it. Children's medium of exchange is a smile. When they stop looking cute you boot them to the curb."
All forms of electronic currency is becoming corrupt due to the crimes and greed of those who control it. This is why I cashed in my 403b, paid the penalties and bought guns and ammo before the craziness. My buddies aren't laughing at me today.

Holy shit, that country's financial system is now non-existent. This will spread through other EU countries and the rest of the world. All the banks are tied together and they all hold derivatives and CDSs. I will bet the CDS domino game has begun. The fiat debt bubble just shit the bed.
