| 2010-09-02 |
| Look's like the Caped Crusader's bro is gonna take a whack in the wallet... Mahmoud Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a major shareholder in beleaguered Kabul Bank called on Thursday for intervention by the United States to head off a financial meltdown. "America should do something," said Karzai in a telephone interview, suggesting that the U.S. Treasury Department guarantee the funds of Kabul Bank's clients, who number about a million and have more than a billion dollars on deposits with the bank. "If the Treasury Department will guarantee that everyone will get their money, maybe that will work," Sure, why not, we guarantee everything else ... said Karzai, who holds 7 percent of the bank's shares, making him the third-biggest shareholder. Karzai, who spends most of his time in Dubai - where he lives in a waterfront villa paid for by Kabul Bank - rushed to Kabul on Wednesday to join efforts to salvage the bank. Boy, I'll bet that had to suck... |
