Cyprus, where the vicious circle stopped | FT Alphaville

This blog entry gives you a taste of the problem created by the lack of regulation of too big to fail banks.  Cyprus as a sovereign nation did little wrong.  Its two large international banks pursued profit opportunities with little regard to risk since it appear that they would be bailed out if their "investments/gambles" failed.  Take a look at the blog account here.

The US isn't regulating our banks either.
