Intruders at the Investment Banking Awards
11-10-2012 20:55
The Investment Banking Awards are the Oscars of the financial world. Dished out for so-called 'innovation', some of the world's richest bankers gather together to congratulate each other on devising ever more creative ways to make obscene sums of money. See the film of the awards.
One of 2012's most profitable scams was the bankers' 'innovative' approach to a key interest rate called LIBOR.

When we noticed that this money-spinner had been overlooked in the ceremony, we decided to show up and make sure the LIBOR-riggers got the recognition they deserve.

We were in court today for possession of our posh Clifton squat. We attempted to buy more time arguing possession forthwith would be disproportionate under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998.We didn't succeed and possession was awarded forthwith but it wasn't entirely hopeless and could be something other squatters might try.

This article discusses the introduction of another currency system called TEM, in Volos, Greece. Considering the financial instability of the euro, I feel that we should explain this possibility to everyone and, more importantly, it should be of interest to your readers.
