Sheikh Al-Thani participates in scam to keep share prices up



One massive surprise of the summer was the acquisition of 5% of shares in Kaupthing by Quatari Sheik Mohamed bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Surprise because even though few expected the bank to be nationalized before the end of the year most did not consider shares in the Icelandic banks a good investment at the time, especially 5%. Kaupthing blasted it as great news that showed confidence that wealthy foreign investors had in the bank. Turns out like most of the dishes cooked up and served by the management’s of the Icelandic banks, it was too good to be true. A company in the Caribbean, owned by Al-Thani borrowed the money which financed the transaction from two other Caribbean companies which in turn got the money from Kaupthing. This is reported by Morgunbladid. One of the companies belonges to Olafur Olafsson, one of Kaupthing’s largest shareholders who was one of the select few picked by the Progressive Party to receive Bunadarbankinn when it was nationalised and then turned into Kaupthing. The bank then struck a currency deal where the bank bought euros from Al-Thani which landed him enough profit to pay up the loan for the shares. All a big scam to keep the illusion going. Al-Thani and Olafur are reported to be friends.

When will the round up of the bankers crooks happen here in the U.S.?

They knowingly pre-package crap pies and sell it on the market for outrageous profits, get bailed out with our tax dollars, then borrow at 0% interest and "lend" it back to us at interest.

They have privatized the profits and collectivized the losses. Now, we're going to bailout foreign con artists as well. The largest bank robbery in history is occurring before our eyes. Only it's the bank's doing the robbing!

They are going after the wrong guys...they should be jailing all the members of their legislature who either knew or ought to have known what was going on.
