Precedent has been set that allows bankers to raid your personal accounts & use your lifetime savings to keep the ship afloat for a few more weeks. This is another example of authorities out of control that are overriding the rule of contract law, tearing up your investment account legal agreements with the banks and replacing it with laws that cater to bailing out the crooks who created this fine mess. This is the most utterly disgusting measure yet that shows how very broken the system is. The politicians and other scumbags at the helm don't give a hoot for your welfare and it's every man for himself when tshtf. On the other hand you can bet your last bar of Gold that members of tptb are busy squirelling away their savings outside of the US before Capital Controls are inevitably instituted in the not too distant future. Best of luck to all.

RAIDS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS
This is so important a topic, that it deserves top billing!!! Hidden inside the AIG bailout funding package, surely hastily cobbled together, but carefully enough to include a totally corrupt clause, was a handy dandy clause that permits raids. The conglomerate financial firms are permitted at this point to use private individual brokerage account funds to relieve their own liquidity pressures. This represents unauthorized loans of your stock account assets. So next, if the conglomerate fails, your stock account is part of the bankruptcy process. Finally the corrupt USGovt and corrupt Wall Street houses are desperate enough to put into policy, stated by the US Federal Reserve, outlining the authorized raid of your money.
