" $1B stolen from it. Not from a company, but from the country!"
You exhibit a severe case of reading comprehension disability. For these money to be stolen "from the country" it would have required the disappearance of funds from the Treasury or the bank accounts belonging to the central administration.
That was not the case: the money had been syphoned off from 2/two commercial banks, namely Banca de Economii (Savings Bank), Banca Sociala (Social Bank), and Unibank.
Except for the names, all this info in in the CNN linked to.
And to pre-empt a silly reply, no, the National Bank bailing out these banks doesn't mean the theft extended to the government. That's the government being either stupid or having no choice. The theft itself was from companies.
