In recent days, I have been told more than enough that I am “safe” behind the berm of a Greek banking system that has “minimum exposure” to toxic derivatives and all the other filthy trash that the US investment bank system saturated the world with.
I was told repeatedly and by no other than the prime minister himself that, if need be, the Greek government will “intervene” to save me. My finance minister, Alogoskoufis (a name that loosely means ‘he who wears a horse skin cap’) sent to parliament legislation that guarantees bank deposits up to €100,000 for the next three years. Please continue.
