Calm down. Firstly, one number states that 30% of deposits are foreign owned [1]. Secondly, the accurate description of Shenglong's error would be "exaggerating."

> Nope. It impacted Cyprus because it participated in the Greece bailout and lost 4.5 bil to the haircut that followed.

You just attacked a straw man by quoting Shenglong out of context.

Foreign and Russian are a little different concepts.


Now that's just semantics. Give me a citation if you want to refute me.


About 37% of deposits are owned by foreigners, according to Barclays, and nearly 60% of that belongs to Russians, numbers compiled by Danske Bank (...) indicate.

So, nearly 60% of 37% is about 22%, not 30%.
