In jewelry stores on 47th Street and Fifth Avenue the important trust between merchants has been violated. A 10-ounce gold bar costing nearly $18,000 turned out to be a counterfeit.

MTB, the Swiss manufacturer of the gold bars, said customers should only buy from a reputable merchant. The problem, he admits, is Ibrahim Fadl is a very reputable merchant.

Kazdy sme citali tie spravy o neochote grekov setrit. Dnes som narazil na reportaz z Grecka v denniku Die Presse, a su tam sialene veci, oplati sa to precitat. Prekladat sa mi to nechce, len par drobnosti:

-plosne znizenie miezd v statnej sprave o 20-30 percent, aj dochodkov
-minimalna mzda sa znizila na 600 eur
-za poslednych 15 mesiacov sa zvdihla cena benzinu a nafty o 100%, elektriny, cestovnych nakladov o 50%
-tretina 165 tisic obchodov je zatvorenych, druha tretina neplati zamestnancov
-spotreba drasticky klesa, su rodiny ktore predtym mali prijmy okolo 4000eur, dnes dostavaju 400/os ako podporu
-vela statnych firiem resp firmy naviazane na stat uz mesiace neplatia - vraj v oktobry, resp buduci rok; ministerstvo kultury neplati uz 22 mesiacov
-poistovne neplatia nemocniciam, nemocnice zamestnancom
-vraj 97% financnej pomoci okamzite ide naspat do EU k veritelom

vlada stale vymysla nove poplatky - napr 150 eur za nahlasenie trestnej udalosti na policii!
