Is anyone paying attention to the activity of the Socialist Government in Cyprus. You should be... Expropriation of up to 10% of bank accounts. I guess they haven't run out of other peoples money yet...

What is most interesting about what is going on in Cyprus is that much of that money was offshored by wealthy Russians trying to avoid the Russian taxing authority....

LOL.

Busy day yesterday. apologies for not getting back to your reply.
Cypriot government officials voted against the plan that would have seen all bank accounts in the country gleaned by expropriation as much as 10%. In total, 36 voted against the plan, with 19 abstaining.
An extremely disturbing discovery here was the media's description of the event as a "failed bank tax" describing the governments stance to secure funding...
