Cyprus vote delayed again, protestors tear down flag @German Embassy,

and Russia not happy with new bank "tax" plan.
Vote delayed once again, Cyprus folks are demonstrating, and the Euro bosses have told the Cyprus flackey...errr...Prime Minister, to float the idea of now taking 15% from depositors who have more than 100,000
in the banks....these depositors include a LOT of Russian money.

I am following Twitter@Cyprus.
Zero Hedge and Twitter are keeping up with events in Euroland/cyprus.

Eurogroup Folds: Tells Cyprus To "Safeguard" Depositors Under €100,000 Euros;
Angry Russians To Get Even Angrier

Russia will dispatch a permanent group of five to six combat ships to the Mediterranean Sea, Russian Navy chief Admiral Viktor Chirkov said.

( I am sure this was only by co-incidence)

This is taking on the signs of a major clusterfuck called "how NOT to steal money from depositors."
Amazing to watch as events unfold, plans go awry, and the whole troika of IMF, the Europe Central bank and Cyprus gov't lurches around the world stage,...making up the playbook as they go along,
while Cyprus and most of Europe throw tomatoes at them.

betcha the next country that wants to steal the people's money won't announce FIRST and THEN try to vote on making the theft legal.

Got any updates? How about posting them here.
