This is speculation on my part, but it does seem reasonable. Wall Street is anticipating something positive and it’s not in the economy. Maybe the Tobin tax has something to do with it.
Theft is theft. Robbery is robbery. That it’s being done in broad daylight by an institution that is supposed to protect your money simply adds to the outrage. The email sent to Bank of Cyprus depositors is being received by every bank depositor in the world.
