I just want to remind everyone. Before we start exchanging, we really need to get a system in place. I'm telling you now. That the banks are going to be like killer sharks! Just waiting for the new rich suckers to cash out! The way this is probably going to work, is this. 0.00 to 20.00 service charges. But they will kill you on the exchange rate. It could be 20% or more! So I say we stick together to get some volume rates! Especially Wells Fargo watch out!

I have been think some more on the curfew and RV!

If you think about it and try and remember all of the info up to this point it sure could be. Who knows. It was posted that the FIL would be done in a couple of days and that was last weekend and then there was an article from MOF stating their plans and then this meeting on Thursday got translated which sounds like they were announcing something on the horizon and then the curfew for only 2 days. If it was for Ramadan it would have been a longer curfew. And their funding runs out on the 30th.

Big puzzle but I think we may have found all the pieces and they all fit together.
