| Libya to withdraw $7b assets in Swiss banks |
| 2008-10-12 |
| Libya will withdraw $7 billion of assets in Swiss banks and stop supplying it with oil to protest against poor treatment of Libyan diplomats and businessmen, Libyan news agency JANA said. Tripoli will "also put an end to all economic cooperation with Switzerland." |

| #4 So where is G'Daffy gonna put the money? Cayman Islands? I'm sure that other banks will be more than happy to help out. And how much total does G'Daffy have in Swiss banks? Maybe this is just a PR stunt. |
