Greek and Cypriot banks and the who-dunnit

It is now well known that PM Papandreou convinced
Greek and Cypriot banks to shore up the Greek
bond market by buying those rolls of TP, knowing
full well that they would implode very soon.

and so they did. Cyprus tried through years of bond
haircuts save their banks. The German banks had
their losses covered, but not the Cypriot banks.
I guess the Cypriots are second class
Euro citizens.
It all seems like a plan to conquer Euro
banking. The interesting aspect of that is how they
got "Greece" to cooperate in the destruction of
TWO banking systems.

How Greece Killed Its Own Banks!
Yes, you read that correctly! Greece killed its own banks. You see, many knew as far back as January (if not last year) that Greece would have a significant problem floating its debt. As a safeguard, they had their banks purchase a large amount of their debt offerings which gave the perception of much stronger demand than what I believe was actually in the market. So, what happens when these relatively small banks gobble up all of this debt that is summarily downgraded 15 ways from Idaho.
