You people think the depositors deserve it?  ROFLMAO, that's insane!

Sigh... Have you read the text I linked to above? Here, I link it again: http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/03/peter-schiff-on-cyprus.html
Also, read this: http://detlevschlichter.com/2013/03/cyprus-and-the-reality-of-banking-deposit-haircuts-are-both-inevitable-and-the-right-thing-to-do/
And then, read my previous posts on this thread.

And stop saying BS, please. These banks are going down, some people are going to lose money. Better it be those who invested in said banks than tax-victims who had nothing to do with the problem. Even worse would be forcing all EUR holders to pay.
Of course, for the 100th time, the bank shareholders should lose all, they should not be saved at the expense of their clients. And ideally those who made riskier investments should be cut before those who simply held checking accounts. And every creditor or client of the bank that loses something should receive a proportional share of the bank's assets in return.
