Not that I'm aware - it seems the vampire squid, otherwise known as Goldman Sachs were behind a lot of the usual fun and games - Titlos PlC being the special vehicle causing most concern at present.

J P Morgan appear to have copped it because they

A - Are an American Bank
B - Had an office with their name out front

But i think the time for sensible discrimination has passed and as things get tougher for many people across Europe you will see more and more lashing out against institutions like this.

And when they start taking out bank workers, what then?

"Fair Play"?

Yes, they liked to borrow lots when it [the Euro] was cheap, but they are not so happy to pay it back.

Silly socialists. And they are blaming the wrong people - it was the EU (i.e. French and Germans) who relaxed the rules to let them into their cosy little club.
