Okay to sum up: A major European Bank (Italy's oldest and forth largest) goes on holiday, sticks it to outrages depositors - yet not a single well known English speaking source bothers to report it?
I'm not a tinfoil hat kinda guy, but this makes me want to buy a roll of Reynolds Wrap and get to work.
This seriously calls for the WTF Tree. WTF Tree says:
WTF?

On Sunday, Barbara Simpson mentioned the Italian bank holiday on her KSFO radio show. Haven’t seen it printed anywhere, though.

Easy...any news source who is the first to lead with this will be accused of spreading panic. In other words..the editors are askeered of getting taken to the cleaners..or worse.

Thank you...I did see the the other article here...
They didn’t print some of the shenanigans I heard here in 2008, either.

Wouldn’t want to start a stampede I imagine. Think I’ll start carrying that extra bag to work now.

Wouldnt want to start a stampede I imagine. Yes, people tend to s*** bricks (depositors and investors alike) when banks start sticking it to depositors.
Still though, I would think the very first major bank to go on holiday since the crisis began would get mentioned somewhere in the English on the English-speaking earth.

Keep your vehicle’s gas tank topped off and you’ll already be ahead of 3/4 of the population. I imagine gas stations will become very dangerous places once the SHTF.

Looking at my posts - I’m writing like a complete imbecile. I’m going to email my wife and tell her to keep a half tank of gas at all times - then go to sleep.

If the MSM didn’t report it, it didn’t happen strategy. What’s on The View?

It was on the Drudge Report on Sunday, June 10th; the original story (in Italian) dates to June 7th.
I think it only stayed up for about 12 hours or maybe less.
Here’s from the DR archive: http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2012/06/10/20120610_212411.htm
It’s in the middle section, just above the photo of Lindsey Lohan. Not a big screaming headline, just a normal one.

What I found doing a simple google search was an article containing this statement:
"The announcement was posted and the bank gave customers 7 days to act before the Bank of Italy approved freeze went into effect"
