“Let’s all help our economy,” Katseli urged Greeks and added “If you take your money out of your chests and houses – which are not safe in any case – and deposit at banks, this will enhance liquidity.”

three weeks.

and there are caps on the cash you can take out due to the ECB.

People on the street see the banks as being under a german coup.

“There will be no need to “haircut” deposits in the future if we all act responsibly,” she added -cheerfully I suppose.”

This is right up there with “The Check’s in the Mail. & It’s only a Cold Sore!”

I see. So the banks are open for deposits, but closed for withdrawals.

That's gotta be a real popular arrangement.

Yeah, right, like the Greek people are going to fall for THAT one again. The money is going to stay right there where it is, in their mattresses, or if they have already converted it, in the gold and silver bullion.

The black market will explode overnight.

Not only that. They charge fees but don't pay interest.

What a deal.

“Banks are absolutely trustworthy,"

I don't speak Greek, but I think it translates to, "We will take your money."
