A Cypriot news source has accused Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades of wiring €21 million of his own funds to London prior to announcing the Eurobank-sponsored haircut that would affect his fellow countrymen’s holdings. He has promised that he would authorize an investigation of himself by a committee that will be organized tomorrow. There is no word on the reliability this committee, as any government that investigates its own activities must be held to extremely high standards of transparency and accountability.
I found no coverage of this story in American news.
FOX had it, Doug Ross had it, same with Drudge.

I’ve seen some coverage – I got it early in the day yesterday. But our intellectual classes are focused on the Times and WaPo, and there has been no coverage of it there, in fact WaPo specifically excluded it in their coverage today.
