Today legendary trader Jim Sinclair told King World News that the Cyprus disaster is much bigger than what is being reported and the implications are stunning. Sinclair, who was once called on by former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker to assist during a Wall Street crisis, had this to say in this extraordinary and exclusive KWN interview:
Sinclair: “If people believe that $13 billion is the total of this bailout, they are out of their minds. $130 billion is not the true total of even the Russian deposits in Cyprus banks. One important Russian businessman, in his various business enterprises, would have $100 billion on deposit himself. 10% of all deposits in Cypress could be $500 billion or more because Cyprus is the banking entity for Russia, not Switzerland or Grand Cayman.
The Central Bank of Cyprus doesn’t even know how big the Russian deposits are because it is held as secret at the behest of the Russians. It is a secret banking system set up for the Russians, by the Russians, and the IMF has just taken a large bite out of that elephant.
Because of that, any attempt to shift the weight of bank solvency to depositors has failed. This was the grand experiment which was the defining event where the financial shift from the onus of insolvency was to be placed on the shoulders of depositors rather than on quantitative easing….
