So you've just lost a large sum of your life's savings. How livid must you feel?

Then you go and read this, the uber rich protecting the uber rich. How livid must you feel?

That's a large amount of salt to be rubbing into people's wounds.

How far does this go do you think ATS?

Even if it wasn't made public by the politicians beforehand to their most generous "friends", anyone outside of Cyprus could have withdrawn or transfered any amount of assets from the foreign branches of the Cyprus' banks.

Therefore, this was a punch in the face of local Cypriots.

Just goes to show what the big wigs will do to 'protect' their uppity status.

I also heard reports that the London branches of the biggest Cypriot banks were allowing withdrawals the entire time that the government of Cyprus was deciding how badly to sodomize their constituents.
