Snark time: offshore banks have no FDIC coverage. Think the offshore account holders are worried? |
|
With US bank/s & other finanical institutions failing, in today's global economy, the ripples will be felt in offshore investment vehicles, as well.
I sure as heck hope they're nervous.
Good luck moving your secret, uninsured stash o' money, republicans. Better get crackin'!
BTW, the value of Caymanian currency is directly linked to ours. (CI $1.00 = US $ .80...or, in reverse, US $1.00 US = CI $1.25). Ergo, if you're holding accounts in Cayman, their currency is being devalued at the same rate (and speed) as ours, smartguy.

4. lol from what government? |

Cayman, for example, is laying off police & firemen.
Turns out that tax-free government is somewhat hard pressed when paying for basic services. Who'da thunk it?
