Suddenly banks are tightening the rules and the reins, all in the weeks ahead of the anticipated announcement admitting that Nibiru exists and is nearby. Is there a relationship? We predicted that banks would limit their hourslimit their withdrawals, and even be closed temporarily if a panic ensued. The likely time when such steps would be viewed as necessary would be during the announcement and shortly thereafter. One of the first reactions in a populace taken by surprise by the announcement would be to stock up on food, gasoline, and cash. The banks are anticipating a run on their ready cash, which frankly is not in hand! 

The complicated world of paper money is such that banks are not required to hold what is technically owned to depositors in the form of cash. It is, therefore, technically impossible for a bank to payout savings to depositors, on demand. This likewise guts their standing, as to issue loans they have to have backing for the loans, and savings is one of the pillars their house of cards stands upon. For both those reasons, a run on a bank, whereby depositors try to pull out their savings, would be sharply limited during a panic. The steps taken by banks in the UK and and elsewhere are only part of the picture, as most limitations already in place have not yet hit the media.

Roger Agnelli, Brazilian banker who became Vale CEO, dies in plane crash aged 56 (3/20/16)

Roger Agnelli, the Brazilian banker who turned Vale SA into the world’s No. 1 iron ore producer, died on Saturday in a plane crash, a source close to aviation authorities said.

Agnelli, his wife and two children were among seven killed when his Comp Air 9 turboprop monoplane slammed into two homes around 3.20pm local time, minutes after taking off from an airport in northern São Paulo, said the source, who asked not to be named due to the sensitive nature of the information.

...The weather was clear at the time of the crash.

...Agnelli clinched the top job at Vale in July 2001 after 19 years as a corporate and investment banker with Banco Bradesco SA, a major Vale shareholder.

...In a Harvard Business Review ranking of the world’s best-performing chief executive officers published in February 2013, Agnelli came fourth, only behind Apple Inc’s Steve Jobs, Amazon.com Inc’s Jeff Bezos and Samsung Group’s Yun Jong-yong. He was the top mining CEO in the 100-executive ranking.

...He began his career at Bradesco’s corporate finance and investment banking division. His knack for engineering complex deals earned him praise from his bosses, who turned him into Bradesco’s youngest senior vice president at the age of 29.

IRS computer problems shut down e-file system

The Internal Revenue Service suffered a "hardware failure" on Wednesday afternoon, which left many of its tax processing systems unavailable Wednesday night, the agency announced in a statement.

The agency stopped accepting electronically filed tax returns because of the problem. The outage could affect refunds, but the agency said it doesn't anticipate "major disruptions."

"The IRS is still assessing the scope of the outage," the agency said. "At this time, the IRS does not anticipate major refund disruptions; we continue to expect that nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days."

The IRS.gov website remains available, but "Where's My Refund" and other services are not working.

Some systems will be out of service at least until Thursday, the agency said. "The IRS is currently in the process of making repairs and working to restore normal operations as soon as possible," the IRS said.

Taxpayers can continue to send electronic returns to companies that serve as middlemen between taxpayers and the IRS. But those companies have to hold on to the tax returns until the IRS systems are up and running again, the IRS said.

People who have already filed returns don't need to do anything more, the IRS said.

Royal Bank of Scotland warns investors to “sell everything”

Note warns that world stock markets poised to lose up to 20% of value

PhotoPhoto (c) sergey_p - Fotolia It's one thing when forecasters selling a report or video warn that the stock market is about to crash. It's another when an international bank raises the alarm.

In an unusually grim assessment from a banking institution, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has suggested that investors should sell their stocks and move money into high quality bonds.

“We think investors should be afraid that the ominous outlook for the world in our Year Ahead has been borne out (ex-ECB cuts) over the past six weeks,” RBS said in a note to clients. “Rather than fade, we say follow - and be cautious in 2016.”

2008 rewind

RBS says the world economic situation looks similar to 2008, just before the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy touched off a world financial crisis. That echoes a similar observation last week by billionaire investor George Soros, who told a conference in Sri Lanka that the current economic situation also reminds him of 2008.

The bank says the three asset classes that benefited from the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Easing and low interest rates should be expected to lose value, now that the Fed has reversed course. But China, the bank says, is making matters worse.

China's problems have been on display the last week or so as the Chinese stock market has sunk 10%. The RBS says it has further to fall, though, as the Chinese government struggles to get a handle on debt.

Commodities collapse

The recent collapse in commodity prices is also highlighted as a threat. On one hand consumers are enjoying lower gasoline prices. But banks and bond holders who have loaned money to oil drillers, with the expectation that oil prices would remain high, face increasing odds of default when those businesses file for bankruptcy.

The RBS note says oil is likely to fall to $26 a barrel, and could spike as low as $16. As icing on the doomsday cake, the bank notes that automation is on its way to destroying 30% to 50% of all jobs in the developed world.

The RBS economists say they are sticking to their call for a 10% to 20% drop in global stock markets. Hence, it's advice to sell before everyone else does.

“In a crowded hall, exit doors are small,” the note concludes. “Risks are high.”

Perhaps, but this can't be stressed enough. Before making any major investment decision – either buying or selling – it is always wise to discuss it with a trusted and objective financial advisor.

“Due to the nature of the fall a mountain rescue team was not required."

George Soros sells all shares of Citigroup, Bank of America and JP Morgan

Is this a sign of trouble ahead for the banking industry?

May 20, 2014  9:20 PM EDT
By John Vibes

WASHINGTON (INTELLIHUB) — Just over 2 decades ago banker George Soros made his most famous investment by shorting the British pound and pocketing a billion dollars in the process.  Since then he has become famous for betting on stock market crashes and in some cases even rigging markets to fail for his own gain.

Just months ago, Soros made headlines by making a billion dollar stock bet against the S&P 500.  At the time this was said to be a sign of trouble ahead for the US economy, as Soros has seemed to have had advance knowledge of market crashes in the past.  As a result of this reputation, investors have begun to keep a close eye on his holdings.

This week investors took notice again when Soros sold his shares of three major American banks, including Bank of America, JP Morgan and Citigroup.

The Wall Street Journal reported that “George Soros dumped his stakes in banks and went for tech and gold miners in the first quarter, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday. Soros sold his holdings in Citigroup (NYSE:C) , J.P. Morgan (NYSE:JPM) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC)”

In February 2009, Soros said the world financial system had effectively disintegrated, adding that there was no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis. “We witnessed the collapse of the financial system … It was placed on life support, and it’s still on life support. There’s no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom.”

Mysterious spate of government officials committing suicide in China (Apr 10)

A series of mysterious apparent suicides by Chinese officials in the past three weeks, including of two senior figures, has sparked debate and questions among ordinary people here, as well as a fresh round of online censorship.

Chinese media reported Thursday that 58-year-old Xu Yean, a deputy director in the State Bureau for Letters and Calls, was found hanged in his office earlier in the week.

Xu’s department handles the petitions and complaints of ordinary citizens against local government officials. Although Xu had not been publicly linked with any corruption investigation, a senior colleague was fired and placed under investigation last November for a “severe violation” of party discipline.

He Gaobo, a local official responsible for building safety in the city of Fenghua in the eastern province of Zhejiang, was found dead in another suspected suicide Wednesday, five days after an apartment building collapsed in the city.

Last Friday, senior policeman Zhou Yu was found hanged in a hotel room in the central Chinese city of Chongqing. Zhou had been a major figure in a crackdown on organized crime in the city under the leadership of Bo Xilai, a senior Communist Party leader who was imprisoned for corruption.

A senior official at state-owned power generation company Datang was also reported to have died in suspicious circumstances March 29, although the company denied it was suicide.

But perhaps the most sensational death of all was that of Li Wufeng, a 56-year-old known as China’s top Internet cop, who was reportedly involved in maintaining a system of online censorship known as the Great Firewall of China. He was said to have jumped to his death from the sixth floor of his office building March 24.

China’s Central Propaganda Department swiftly issued a directive ordering local media not to report on his “accidental death” without authorization and to delete any “speculative and accusatory comments” online, according to a Web site, the China Digital Times, that monitors such directives.

Similar, the story of Xu Yean’s death Thursday was deleted from Chinese media Web site Caixin after a few hours.

Some netizens mocked official boilerplate explanations for many of these deaths.

“A new rule for officials who have committed suicide: every single one must be depressed, every single one must be unhealthy,” one user posted on Sina Weibo microblogging site.

Others wondered whether Xu simply knew, or saw, too much.

Former ABN Banker Schmittmann, Wife, Daughter Found Dead at Home

Former ABN Amro Group NV Netherlands Chief Executive Officer Jan Peter Schmittmann, his wife and a daughter were found dead at their home yesterday after a possible “family tragedy,” Dutch police said.

“The bodies of a father and mother and their daughter were found at the property” in the town of Laren, 32 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Amsterdam, Dutch police said in a statement on theirwebsite. Leonie Bosselaar, a police spokeswoman, said in a telephone call with Bloomberg Newsthat the deceased were Schmittmann and two family members.

The police received a call around 10:30 a.m. local time from a family acquaintance who said something may be wrong at the property, according to the statement. Bosselaar declined to comment further.

The Dutch newspaper AD reported, without citing anyone, that the family was discovered by Schmittmann’s second daughter when she arrived home yesterday morning. She was scheduled to travel to India with her parents, where she had an internship lined up, the newspaper said.

Schmittmann, 57, joined ABN Amro in 1983 as assistant relationship manager and was named head of the lender’s Dutch unit in 2003. He stepped down from the Amsterdam-based bank in December 2008, after the company was nationalized earlier that year.
