David Oddsson, Iceland’s former Prime Minister and central bank manager and current joint editor of Morgunbladid newspaper, will be overseas when the Althingi report into the banking crisis is released on Monday.
According to Visir.is, it is not known where he has gone or for how long, but it has apparently been confirmed that he will not be in Iceland when the so-called black report is released.
As Oddsson was in charge of the Central Bank of Iceland when the banking collapse occurred, it is almost certain the report will look closely at him and his work.
As such a key character in this soon-to-break news, Oddsson’s departure from Iceland could be due to a desire not to be in charge at Morgunbladid on days when the news is going to be about him personally.
Oh Fisy, you’re hilarious! “Competence”! “*If* there can be criticism”! You card! Your persona is just some Kaufmanesque put on, right?
Fisy says:
“Let’s just wait for the report shall we, which I do expect to be thorough and worth reading.”
David accused of gross negligence.
“example, in March 2008, the Central Bank forgot to extend a 500 million USD line of credit with the BIS in Basel, depriving the bank of much needed currency.”
“Can you tell me what other country is investigating how the local banks were operated and how politicians were connected to them and other busyness adventures”
Can you tell me what other country, ‘rich’ and arrogant, has let the ruin of its currency and banks?
“Can you tell me why Britain had to print and throw hundreds of billions of pounds at its failed banks.”
Iceland, Iceland; forget Britain: your country Iceland! Do you want to ruin other countries? the post is about Oddsson, that GREAT man! hahaha
“When that moronic and hopeless idea fails, Britain will suffer for decades, the banks should have been allowed to fail.”
Yes, yes! and a new Iceland!!! So, two Iceland!!
Iceland will investigate nothing: four villagers and a few good men will get nothing. Do you want answers, find out? Ask to Luxembourg!
By the way, never news about Ireland, why? perhaps they are catholic; perhaps they were poor, a poor island? hahaha
Let’s just wait for the report shall we, which I do expect to be thorough and worth reading.
“Davið is unlikely to come badly out of Black Report.
I have got a feeling some others will but not him. Simply because he and his fellow Central Bank governors did their job with competence”
The complete collapse of a countries banking system, the currency and the entire Icelandic economy, that’s your definition of competence is it? I have two theories about how you could make a statement like that, one is that you are David or closely connected to him. The other is that you are insane.
“Davið is unlikely to come badly out of Black Report.

You must be kidding Fisy ?
competence ???
really
you should ask David what he thinks, if you can catch him :)
I am not blaming foreigners Gummi, the big players in the Icelandic bank scam are all Icelandic, the ideology behind this however comes from Wall street and City, USA, Britain and half of Europe are also in ruins.
the next few days will be interresting, the Althingi report comes out tomorrow at 10.20
Icelandic version (full) http://rna.althingi.is
English version (part of the report) http://sic.althingi.is
all of this will be translated and available on the internet soon.
The printed version is 2000 pages in 9 volumes and is already sold out, one book seller used the opportunity to compare this report to another crime saga he is selling, who is only a couple of inches thick.
“> About David Oddson, we cant really arrest him until he has been charged with something, ”
And the same goes for every one else.
It still amazes me how ” string them up brigade ” forgets about this thing called due process and that justice not only need to be done but seen to be done.
Some times I think only one outside our justice system ( I have heard nothing but sense from there since the start of this ) that has a sensible thing to say on this is Eva Joly :

But i am interested to see what intenral advice and communications made about Glitnir nationalization were. If there can be criticism then it will be there.
Axel did say: “all of this dishonesty and scams originate from Wall street and London”
Yes!
I am with Axel 100,000%!
Examine the subject closely!
You will find bullying foreigners are truly to blame.
Afram!

“Well done Axel!
Whenever in trouble, change the subject!”
This is actually the same subject, when we have finished our autopsy of the failed Icelandic banks the information will show you how banks are robbed from the inside by small groups of criminals, it will help you understand what is happening in the British financial sector, all of this dishonesty and scams originate from Wall street and London, so you should not expect any white angels flying around in that area,
The British authorities are fully aware of the rotten apples in their own garden and do nothing about it, for the same reasons as the Icelandic politicians, simply bought and paid for.
British authorities are already suppressing the flow of information into UK,

About David Oddson, we cant really arrest him until he has been charged with something, i think some arrests will be made shortly, and most of the criminals are going to be fetched to Britain where they have lived and worked for quite a while in the “Brown’s” deregulated neo-liberal criminal friendly gag order city, where crook’s are kings.
Axel did say: “can you tell me why Britain had to print and throw hundreds of billions of pounds at its failed banks.”
Well done Axel!

“Poor Iceland: two decades of propaganda; made them feel superiors to everybody. hahaha !!!”
Can you tell me what other country is investigating how the local banks were operated and how politicians were connected to them and other busyness adventures, can you tell me why Britain had to print and throw hundreds of billions of pounds at its failed banks.
When that moronic and hopeless idea fails, Britain will suffer for decades,
the banks should have been allowed to fail.
LOL!!
“If David Oddsson has anything to do with the Icelandic banking crisis why wasn’t he put under house arrest instead of being able to leave the country?”
Anything? !!!
Because Iceland, really, is a banana Republic. Nevertheless, they think that some countries are the banana republics; even some Mediterranean ones.
Poor Iceland: two decades of propaganda; made them feel superiors to everybody. hahaha !!!
It seems the smaller fish can really swim slow while the bigger ones can swim fast and faster than the fisherman. Any comment ? Is this the Rule of Law ? I pity Iceland including me.
Wouldnt expect anything else from the people that run Iceland.
All care no responsibility.
If David Oddsson has anything to do with the Icelandic banking crisis why wasn’t he put under house arrest instead of being able to leave the country?
How very, very sensitive of him… shall we all get emotional?
