Wow, so they are gamblers no better than the folks sitting at tables in Atlantic City, NJ.

The idea that back in early 2010, they could foresee that the Greek people (and Germans and Finns etc.) would be committed to this program into 2013, that's quite a gamble.

If they were underwater in 2010, they would lose nothing by making that bet. You can only go bankrupt once - there is no such thing as "double-plus insolvent."

From the point of view of upper-echelon bank management, bankruptcy and nationalisation come to the same thing: They go out on their asses, because they're incompetent dickweeds.
