Insured Bank Deposits At Risk
By Peter Schiff
What happens in Cyprus doesn't necessarily stay in Cyprus. The media says it can't happen here but it can. If several major U.S. banks failed, trillions of deposits would be at risk, including hundreds of billions insured by the FDIC.

Max Keiser on Cyprus: The debt bomb just got bigger:
The amount of debt worldwide is more than all of the bank accounts in the world, and the current financial situation in Cyprus is the inevitable next phase: Confiscation.
Cyprus banks euro tax bail-out is a small-scale smash-and-grab compared to Britain's slow-motion bank robbery ;
Outrage about the Cyprus banks euro tax bail-out should not be allowed to obscure the fact that millions of savers in British banks have already lost much more of the real value or purchasing power of their money to prop up financial institutions closer to home.
Russian anger at Cyprus bailout levy:
Russian President Vladimir Putin called it "unfair, unprofessional and dangerous", while the finance minister said Russia may reconsider the terms of a 2.5bn euro loan (£2.1bn) to Cyprus.
Germany And IMF's Initial Deposit Haircut Demand: 40% Of Total:
It appears that the settled-upon 9.9% haircut is a 'good deal' compared to the stunning 40% of total deposits that Germany's FinMin Schaeuble and the IMF demanded.
Is Your Credit Union Safe?:
If you think credit unions automatically give you a safe haven far removed from the weakened U.S. banking system, think again.

13-03-19 Barofsky: JPM accounting appears entirely consistent with fraud


 
Neil Barofsky as TARP Inspector General

Barofsky must be a genius to figure out first, that "the US is pretty fucked", [1] and now, that the US banking regulation system "appears entirely consistent with fraud" - all after leaving office as TARP Inspector General...

I communicated with the office of TARP Inspector General Neil Barofsky, and forwarded to him detailed information regarding racketeering in Bank of America's highest management, including but not limited to Bryan Moynihan. As a reminder, a key condition for any bank to get TARP moneys was declarations of "no fraud" by senior management.

TARP Inspector General Niel Barofsky refused to take any action.

And on the matter of accounting itself, financial analysts called Bank of America's accounting  "delusional" since 2009, after the takeover of Countrywide.  By then, there was no way to account for the plethora of toxic assets, from real estate through mortgages and derivatives, to legal liabilities.

So SEC permitted BofA to file quarterly reports, based on the new accounting method of "taxonomy", (a solid field in the biological sciences) where BofA could generally categorize assets as shitty, shittier, or shittiest... an accounting system that appears entirely consistent with fraud...

Barofsky's role in this enormous heist through his conduct as TARP Inspector General - a watchdog that failed to bark - is not going to be changed by his recent awakening.

Neil Barofsky: $JPM’s Accounting Process Appears Entirely Consistent With Fraud

“Neil Barofsky, the former watchdog for the government’s financial crisis bailout program, tweeted Friday that JPMorgan Chase appears guilty of “fraud,” or something very much like it:

Neil Barofsky
If I may answer Levin’s question. What he describes is an accounting process that is entirely consistent with fraud.

Barofsky was referring to Sen. Carl Levin’s (D-Mich.) questioning of top JPMorgan executives during a Friday Senate hearing in regards to the bank’s 2012 loss of more than $6.2 billion dollars, often referred to as the “London Whale” scandal. The hearing, as well as a Senate report released late Thursday, are the culmination of a nine-month investigation into the loss….”
