Related: About this forumStory off of "Naked Capitalism" about greek governments corruption, can anyone confirm?
I have just finished reading this article and i literally cannot believe what i read. If Greece has reached the point of targeted assassination of journalists to cover up its bank fraud, we are in a lot more trouble then i thought.

from the article;
"On our part, we immediately investigated her claims. We subjected her to an accredited graphologists test who comfirmed that the forged document showing that I was, supposedly, on the secret agents payroll (as published in various blogs) was in her handwriting. We also confirmed with the ferry company that the car in which that team of operatives was supposed to have travelled to Zakynthos (to plant drugs in order to frame The Banks former employee) had indeed travelled there. We also established that the car was registered to former intelligence agents who had been prosecuted for an number of misdeeds and whose court case is pending.
I met with this woman a number of times in an attempt further to establish the truth of her allegations. In one of these meetings, she said that the headquarters of her group was close to our magazines (HOT DOC) but also that the group had abandoned those quarters fearing that we had worked out they were conducting surveillance on us from there (after I had written in HOT DOC that I know I am being followed). Furthermore, the woman handed to us audio records from her groups meetings in which they were discussing their plans. We went to the address she gave us to find abandoned offices that were for lease and to see if they featured hidden crypts (where the woman had told her group kept weapons). We found these hidden crevices and photographed them."
That's in Greece? Not Russia, Not Cuba, Not Uzbekibekibekistanstan, GREECE!?

Usually we don't hear as much about Greece because graft and what goes with it isn't news to them but perps there are not publicity seeking as other mobs. Holywood went with Itanlian and now former SSR mobs as story lines. But it has hit the fan over there and I suppose that holding on to what they got is more important than the bad publicity. Our main news is filtered quite a bit.
The bad debts from the derivatives, which were a loss greater than the GNP of all world economies, are still sitting on the books and we have been seeing a game of "hot potato" as everyone keeps trying to get out from underneath by passing it onto governments and anyone else as like murdered bodies that float to the surface around the world every day from now until ???.
