<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1666595, member: 27832&quot;]Yeah, I haven&#039;t had time today to look into this story, just what I heard on NPR on the drive to work. So, to protect the banks, they decide to confiscate a chunk of everybody&#039;s savings, at a <i>higher</i> rate for <i>smaller</i> depositors? What did they <i>think</i> people were going to do, besides run on the banks and riot in the streets?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear something about &quot;money laundering by rich Russians&quot;, which would of course explain why they&#039;re penalizing large accounts <i>less</i>. And I&#039;m sure the 400-euro ATM limit will be all they need to stem the run, because certainly the people wiring eight-figure sums back and forth wouldn&#039;t be a significant portion of the outflow. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
