Greek Court Decision Sets Dangerous Precedent for Banks

From Zerohedge:

A very disturbing precedent, for the already frayed domestic financial system, was set in Greece over the past few days, where as the linked story from On-News.gr explains, an unemployed Greek woman who owed a little over 26,000 euros to two banks, Eurobank and National, received a full debt discharge on her outstanding loans. As the blog logical concludes, this decision will probably be adhered to in thousands of similar cases.

no different to becoming bankrupt in australia, whats stopping someone racking up $20k in PM purchases, having a boating accident and then declaring banruptcy?
 
If I was Greek, lived in Greece (not Melbourne), and saved all my life, this would make me lose my s@%t.

The savers get screwed.

I feel like auspm right now.

7 years without being able to borrow? admittedly 20k is nothing but what about 250k? ;)

Unfortunately there are people out there that spend most of their lives, thinking and planning how to get away with that sort of thing.
How to squeeze every tiny cent's worth of value out of everything. Which is why the industry attracts so many people with psycho-sociopathic disorders that are greedy and lazy.

so true it just goes to show what a sham of a fiat money system we have, intangible assets buying tangible assets

credit cards should be like any other loan IMO, people need to put up some collateral to get one
 
The fiat money system is based on fancy looking coupons that fooled and enslaved the world...

"A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world--no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." President Woodrow Wilson
 
"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from it's profits or so dependant on it's favors, that there will be no opposition from that class." Rothschild Brothers of London, 1863
 
Personally i view the fiat monetary system as a global wealth extraction mechanism the end result of which is for the "shareholders" of the central bankers to acquire and store gold. The paper side is the illusion meant for the rest of the world. It may as well be monopoly money ...

Nothing, except the debt doesn't get extinguished just because you declare yourself bankrupt.
