Cyprus-Style Wealth Confiscation Is Now Starting To Happen All Over The Globe

Ah, but we were first like....  cloud9:
Didn't know the Poles had done that.  Very dodgy  noooo:.  Strange the article didn't mention Argentina who pioneered the pension stealing system.  The Poles may find it harder to do the ongoing fiddles with inflation rates that are needed to make the steal successful.

But what's wrong with the bail in system on banks? 
Well, whatever, nevermind

The problem is once you've taken all the shareholders money who is left to pay out the deposits of those with less than €100k?

I guess we'd all claw back any bonuses paid to directors but that wouldn't go very far so you get left with the choice of (a) hair cutting the deposits over the €100k guarantee, (b) hair cutting all deposits, (c) hair cutting taxpayers that had nothing to do with the bank or the Icelandic hair cutting anyone but your own voters.

Option (a) for me is the least worst

Well, whatever, nevermind

My mate Iain's former boss worked on the same basis.  He would scour EBay for part used tyres then buy them and knock 'em out for £1 profit, rather than not shifting his full price new ones. He drives a very nice  Range Rover these days.

Odd coincidence that just today I heard a radio ad for the outfit who purport to "guarantee" your £85,000 deposits.

Bear in mind also that the scheme probably would NOT apply to a "haircut" - the scheme exist to cover a bank failing - not the government or ECB stealing your dosh!
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!
