I heard the plan was they will simply confiscate money in people's bank accounts, calling it a "bail in".They appear to be hoping to shame people into loaning them money, holding their people for ransom.How is Greece going to force the banks to lend it more money? I hope the banks aren't foolish enough to do it.Greece voted down the knife that international banks had to their throat.
The Greeks are looking at tough times no matter how they voted, so the birthplace of Democracy kicked the fascist international banks in the face and they've said in one loud voice you aren't going to turn us into slaves.
Now those very banks will be FORCED to negotiate a more equitable settlement and payment package because they have no choice
For Europe to even put the oldest democracy in such jeopardy, while insane entities like Isis watch, is beyond unforgivable. You can't squeeze blood from an orange. No matter what, the various financial institutions HAVE to work out a deal with the Greeks.
I applaud the Greeks for standing their ground. They will climb out of this financial disaster, like America has had to climb out of the Bush/Republican financial disaster handed to it in 2008, and come out whole.
What they did today was give notice that you 'don't f#$k with democracy'.

It's a high-risk, lousy investment, and everyone knows it, that's why they want Greece on its own.

Gov't will always go where the money is. Same reason people rob banks.
It's a legitimate way to restructure a bank. Deposits are a liability of the bank. A bust bank has to restructure its liabilities. That can include deposits. Before FDIC, banks did that all the time in America.
