not just for the interesting and entertaining story, but also for the plain warning:  In the Anglo countries, bankers and central bankers are ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT (by reason of ideology, apparently, but who cares why) to manage the crises that they create.  

RULE OF KATRINA applies:  Think carefully, plan your strategy, and absolutely ignore and evade the authorities, if well-being or survival is your goal.  

The Fates are kind.
