From [info]cherniaev:

Находка серебра Нарышкиных - это очень хороший показатель государственной и бытовой дикости, преобладающей в РФ. Уже сейчас гудят, отдать ли 40 мешков серебра в музей, как выплачивать долю нашедшим и пр.

Но никому в СМИ даже не приходит в голову, что это не клад в обычном понимании - то есть спрятанное неизвестно кем. Между тем, здесь владельцы вполне установимы, понятны и чрезвычайные обстоятельства, вынудившие их прятать свою собственность. Никто даже не заикнется, что у этого имущества могут быть законные наследники, с которыми надо и говорить о его судьбе.

В одном случае как в капле отражается все пренебрежение Эрефии к правам собственности. Поистине, фраза про то, что РФ - "правопреемник СССР", описывает саму суть нынешней системы.

In 1957 Greek authorities arrested Maximilian Merten, the former wartime military administrator of the northern city of Thessaloniki. He was tried for war crimes, sentenced to 25 years in prison and then quietly released. Only when the relevant archives were opened in 1990 did it emerge that the Greek government had freed him in return for securing an economic co-operation agreement with West Germany.

Поисковики позволят подсчитать сколько раз эта цифра появляется в Интернете - то есть сколько людей согласны с этим мнением.

Finally, I will
not, under any circumstance, consider reforming and re-opening Barnhardt
Capital Management, or any other iteration of a brokerage business,
until Barack Obama has been removed from office AND the government of
the United States has been sufficiently reformed and repopulated so as
to engender my total and complete confidence in the government, its
adherence to and enforcement of the rule of law, and in its competent
and just regulatory oversight of any commodities markets that may
reform. So long as the government remains criminal, it would serve no
purpose whatsoever to attempt to rebuild the futures industry or my
firm, because in a lawless environment, the same thievery and fraud
would simply happen again, and the criminals would go unpunished,
sheltered by the criminal oligarchy.

Moody’s warns Penn State’s bond rating could be downgraded because of sex abuse scandal

By Associated Press, Published: November 11
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A major credit agency warns that Penn State University’s bond rating could be downgraded because of  risks to its reputation and finances from a child sex abuse scandal.
Moody’s Investors Service said Friday it has put the university’s Aa1 bond rating under review for a possible downgrade after ex-coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with molesting eight children over a 15-year period.

Moody’s will assess the potential impact on Penn State of risks from possible lawsuits, a decline in students applying to attend the school, loss of donations from philanthropies and changes in its relationship with the state.

Its strong current bond rating reflects its attractiveness to prospective students, its respected academic program and status as the state flagship and land grant university. That’s drawn out-of-state students paying high tuition rates.

Inheritances and the Distribution of Wealth
Or Whatever Happened to the Great Inheritance Boom?

Edward N. Wolff* and Maury Gittleman**
December 20, 2010
Abstract: We found that on average over the period from 1989 to 2007, 21 percent of American households at a given point of time received a wealth transfer and these accounted for 23 percent of their net worth. Over the lifetime, about 30 percent of households could expect to receive a wealth transfer and these would account for close to 40 percent of their net worth near time of death. However, there is little evidence of an inheritance “boom.” In fact, from 1989 to 2007, the share of households reporting a wealth transfer fell by 2.5 percentage points. The average value of inheritances received among all households did increase but at a slow pace, by 10 percent, and wealth transfers as a proportion of current net worth fell sharply over this period from 29 to 19 percent or by 10 percentage points. We also found, somewhat surprisingly, that inheritances and other wealth transfers tend to be equalizing in terms of the distribution of household wealth. Indeed, the addition of wealth transfers to other sources of household wealth has had a sizeable effect on reducing the inequality of wealth.

It has been blamed by politicians for causing the eurozone debt crisis and attacked as the favoured asset of “evil speculators”.

Now, politicians are seeking to take their revenge: not just with therecent introduction of bans on some trading of credit default swaps but also in their attempts to ensure that any haircut on Greek government bonds does not trigger a credit event.

Combined, these two events could spell the end of the credit default swaps market, say bankers.

.......

On the Greek credit event, it is still unclear what will happen. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, the derivatives trade body, is likely to rule that there is no credit event, regardless of the size of haircuts, so long as it is deemed voluntary.

But as the haircut increases, the risks rise that investors ,will nolonger agree to a voluntary deal. Bankers say few serious investors would agree to losses of 60 per cent voluntarily.

Opinions are divided over how damaging a non payment scenario would be on CDS. Some bankers say Greece is a one-off and may have little effect, while others insist it could undermine the market and usher in a worrying precedent for CDS payouts.

However, one thing is certain, say bankers: there is a risk that political interference in the CDS markets may end up hurting the peripheral and other economies by forcing borrowing costs higher and ushering in tighter lending conditions for banks and companies rather than helping to navigate the continent’s debt crisis.
