Lloyd’s of London Pulls Deposits From Banks on Debt Crisis!

• There is a silent run on European banks by large corporations. If these corporations do not trust Eurozone banks, should you? Obviously not! This is not going to end well for everyone. The Eurozone can go into a cataclysmic financial and monetary collapse at any moment. I believe the Eurozone leaders are preparing for a controlled default of Greece. The problem is that the world economy is too inter-connected and the ramifications are unpredictable! The contagion effect is difficult to contain. What is not apparent in this article is the fact that: capital is fleeing from countries deemed most likely to default! How long can the current state of affairs last? Not for long!
