"I was surprised to learn (and until it is confirmed elsewhere, I remain skeptical) that the UK and Holland threatened to freeze the funds of all Icelander-held bank accounts."
Here's some indication that all the assets in the UK of Landsbanki, were seized under terror laws.

- psykotic 15y agoThanks, that makes more sense. The article gave a different impression: > The British government threatened to freeze Icelander savings and checking accounts. Unless I'm totally daft, this is saying the British government was threatening to freeze UK-based bank accounts of individual Icelanders. Chalk up another factual inaccuracy. I'm not well versed in this stuff, so it's a really bad sign when I can stumble over errors and inaccuracies in damn near every other paragraph.
