CAn you just imagine Obambo and TwoBlasts Joe licking their chops looking at that?

With all the Russians getting their money out, they're going to have to take almost everything... the ones with less than 100K may have theirs taken too initially... it's insured so, the govt. has 10yrs to give them back their principal without interest.

Pro-tip: Don't put your money in places like Cyprus. Yes, keep your money in a place like the US, where we have only the most upstanding bankers and politicians. |

Seizing private property. what's that called?
You can bet there are rich folk in America hiding their cash as we speak! |

"Blocked funds" may mean that those funds (that amount) are frozen. They don't want a run on the banks.
|
|
That's crazy.
Saddest part about all this is the swindlers and crooks still got there money out while the banks were supposed to be shut down. |
|
lol... no source? def legit. |

Christ I hope they don't pull that here. Talk about playing with fire.

Quoted: I'd be more of a get my money and get the hell out kinda thing. I wouldn't fight for a bunch of idiots that elected the other idiots that got them into the situation they were in. If they were not screwing around with shady ammo deals between Iran and Syria their power plant wouldn't have blown up either.Quoted: I'd be finding a rifle and "unblocking" the rest of my money. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OycUac3s_3A/S0vETtTRezI/AAAAAAAAAf4/pZubgfKPoCM/s864/killdozer.jpg |

i think most of europe is really rethinking having a savings account. you KNOW there is no one in cyprus that will ever put money in the bank again. you would be a complete fucking retard to trust a bank, or gov after that happening once. this has killed the banking in cyprus. everyone there wants their money back, and they will keep hitting the banks everyday, all day, until its all out.

The IMF/ECB was ready to tell Cyprus to get fucked unless they came up with 'x' Euros. If the Russians really did get their money out (as reported/rumored), Cyprus had to get the money from somewhere.
Trying not to get all tinfoil, I seriously wonder what all is going on there that we're not seeing. |

Quoted: Huh, maybe the guys who spend all their money immediately aren't all that dumb afterall. I always knew my irresponsibility would pay off!!! HA! Suckers!!! |

"Blocked funds" may mean that those funds (that amount) is frozen. They don't want a run on the banks. To stop the run, there's a 300 Euro/day cash withdrawal limit and a 1000 Euro/day transfer limit. The "block" is something else. |

Im making a small fortune in Bitcoins over this fiasco. I suspect this was engineered.

Wow. If the shit doesn't hit the fan in Cyprus it proves that modern people have no will to fight for what is theirs.

Other than hard goods, what else can you realistically do with your saved income? Any sort of electronic investment is subject to the same sort of lock. Cash, PMs, etc have to be physically safeguarded against loss, theft, and unintentional destruction. /Serious question, a large portion of my savings is locked up in land |

Covered, as well as standard preps. I suppose my serious question was more of a serious rhetorical question. I'm thinking more along the lines of liquid assets. There aren't really that many options of what to do when you're trying to keep liquidity. I've got land, preps, investments, a job, and a half assed business plan for a small side business doing AR500 targets, which will need some investment of capitol and time from me. All that being said, I still have liquid assets. There's only so much you can do to protect them and still have them be liquid. I suppose that's the cost benefit question that we all have to individually answer. How much do you leave in the bank, how much do you spend, and how much do you stash physically? |

The scary part is that since the loopoles were there for the Russians, that changed the game... sure, they say they won't confiscate anyone's bank account under 100k but, in reality they will and say they're going to pay it off.... ok but, they have 10yrs to do that and, they don't have to pay interest on that money either. If this unfolds that way then, why would anyone in Europe keep their money in the banks?!?!?! |

I hear lots of people sayin I hope they don't try that shit here but everybody forgets they already have...anybody remember the "we have to put everybodies retirement funds in the stock market" oh too bad we "lost" a shitload.
