holy crap,batman! This can mean only one thing: the government intends to confiscate the cash in those boxes!

[ozzymandus]

As usual, the people who save money are being robbed to support the bums. Much like the >1% interest banks are paying savers here.

I don’t think this could happen in Switzerland. They have so many bank secrecy laws. It might be a worth it trip to Europe to open an account there. Legally you would have to report it 1x a year to the U.S. Govt, buuuut, if they started this Greece thing, they couldn’t get their hands on it. So it would be taxed but it would be beyond the confiscation if the poop ever hit the oscillator here.

Nobody has mentioned the fact that if Greeks had some portion of their wealth as entries in a blockchain, it cannot be confiscated and can be redeemed at any time. Likewise physical PMs although those are more difficult to liquidate. If I were Greek I would have a stash of 1960-65 20 drachma coins and a selection of crypto currency.

Never put anything of value in a “safe deposit box” as the Government can get to it faster than you can.

[Secret Agent Man]

And how would they know what anyone has in their safety deposit boxes?

Greeks cannot tap

Laz can tap

When the bank does this, then they are accessories to crime.
