The yanks did that for a period when they were handing out Home Loans on Cereal packets and they had the Sub prime Crisis.

Not that it matter much, but you make it sound like it was something next to an act of charity. It was nothing but a dirty fraud.

No it wasn't an act of charity. And Lehman Brothers (I think it was) went down because of it.

It was bad for the consumer because they couldn't handle the debt. It was also bad for the bank that engaged in this activity. Everyone believed they would come through but when the economy turned, everyone was handing back the keys to their home.

The thing however that the Americans do better is this. they allow customers the opportunity to take the keys to their home back to the Bank. If there is a collapse in Real Estate prices, the bank has no other recourse and has to cut its losses if there are any. In the EU and Australia, the bank will take you to court and Bankrupt you even.

And I just got a text, that yesterday my tenant was turned away from the bank. They were not allowed to deposit any funds being for the rental of my property.

Now isn't that fantastic! I was n't even emailed or notified.

Arseholes!

What kind of a bank refuses to actually take a deposit.

If only the stupid arseholes knew about my Banking activities in Australia, they would be falling over themselves trying to refinance all my loans.

Dream ON BOC. Dream on is all I got to say.

Bank of Cyprus, sorry, but you are not even a Bank in the true sense. I'm gonna name and shame.

I actually feel very sorry for you guys for being subjected to so much stupidity. Poor bastards the lot of you.

Now I ask you this - does this sound like Cyprus is open for business to you?

It doesn't. it just isn't good enough. All Cyprus can get is the third tier Russian and Chinese Oligarchs because the real big fat cats are going to America, China, Australia, Germany, Japan etc.

Only the criminal elements are in Cyprus hiding from the authorities, because the real rich ones who actually mean business are in the UK buying Chelsea Football Club or on Wall Street which is the Centre of the Financial Universe!

If it weren't we wouldn't have all the multinationals packed in here. I am wondering who's missing?
We even have Marks & Spencer for the snobbish ones who think they buy British made clothing. Whereas in reality they are made in China to British tastes.
The Chinese are currently building the biggest Casino in Europe opening up 2000+ more work positions. They are from Macau though, not sure if that's Chinese.

You got stuff all Pyro. And the ones's you do have (they only got a small office) probably don't go anywhere near Cyprus Banks.

You don't have Packer who is just across the ditch in Israel. He owns some Macau Casinos btw and he isn't interested in setting up in Cyprus or to even touch the Casino there. He has the Casino in Perth, Melbourne and Las Vegas as well. The company is called Crown Casinos - probably the best casinos on the planet.

That is the Son of Mr Cricket Kerry Packer who created the World series in Australia. Best mates with Netanyahu.

He has some of the best casino hotels on the planet and also owns Fairfax Media, TV Channels, newspapers and so on.

It would be a Coup for Cyprus if he won the rights to build the casino in Cyprus. It would be bigger than Ben Hur.

Well, well, what do you know, that's the one behind the casino in Limassol.

The Company competes with Galaxy Casino, S.A., Las Vegas Sands Corporation, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A., MGM Grand Paradise, S.A., Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A and Crown Resorts Limited.

that's great Pyro.

he is a great Australian Businessman. He is famous for his casinos. He has 3 in Australia, Casinos in Las Vgas and Macau. This guy is the real deal.

Also owns fairfax Media.

His Dad was a great man. His right hand man was a young Greek Accountant. One day, he went into Kerry packer's office and told packer he wanted to start up a Home Loan Finance Company and Packer yelled at him to get out there and do it boy!

The Greek Accountant said he had no money. packer asked him, how much do you need and got the Cheque Book out. He wrote his accountant a Cheque for $40 million right there and then. The Greek Accountant went on to be the Apprentice Boss on TV and a Billionaire in his own right now. Packer was famous for the International Series and had Lords in a spin for a while in the UK. Typical Australian larrikin.

When Kerry was diagnosed by a Kidney Disease, his helicopter Pilot donated him his kidney. He was that loved. Netanyahu and Packer are very close apparently. They are best friends.

But one thing that won't be happening Pyro is packer banking with BoC. That won't be happening.

Here is the Greek Accountant now on Celebrity Apprentice.

This guy was Packer's Accountant. Now he is worth a few Billion and in the rich 200 list just like Packer, Murdoch etc etc.

He became a Billionaire from nothing. The Greek Boy is Australia's answer to Trump!

I love these kind of stories. The reason I like them is because Kerry Packer wasn't your typical rich bastard. he had a heart and was down to earth which is not common for wealthy people of that calibre.

[Paphitis]

Kerry Packer was a Cricket nut.

When Kerry Packer lost the TV Rights to the Cricket with Richie Benaud, he decided to make his on rogue league outside the ICC. He signed the entire Australian, South African, Indian, Pakistani, England, and West Indian Cricket Teams and started paying all these players from his own pocket.

Then he created The International World Series and the One Day version of the game and he had the worlds top players playing in this league and he was telecasting the matches with huge ratings and success.

Lords were furious and saying he was bringing the game into disrepute. They wanted to kill him.

But no one can pay as much as packer could and money talked. Well in the end, his TV Station got the Cricket Rights and all was well in the world of cricket again.

You can never call yourself Australian without watching Richie Benaud, Tony Greig, Chappelli, Bill lawry, Max Walker et al during a hot Australian Summer. This was when the Aussie convicts stole the game of Cricket from the English Elites of lords.

This is what these misfits sounded like....

this is what an Australian Summer sounded like at the beach.

Packer is known as the father of Cricket. he saved the game from the Brits.
