The New Zealand government is reportedly pursuing a policy of Cyprus style depositor haircuts for all future bank failures!
The plan would not limit the haircuts to any percentage, but would steal whatever is necessary from depositors to prop up the failing bank institution: Depositors will overnight have their savings shaved by the amount needed to keep the bank afloat.
The rule of law in the entire Western financial world is apparently vaporizing faster than the spent fuel at Fukushima.

I figured it would be at the very least a month before we heard about another country doing this, but 3 days?
