Now that they are safe with the money they managed to transfer abroad, the chief architects of the Icelandic “economic miracle” are leaving the country. So no help with the IceSave bill from them.
Hannes Smarason and Bjorgolfur Thor have been hiding in London and Cyprus according to the media. Bjarni Armannsson ran away to Norway last year and is now investing his loot in the UK. Jon Asgeir Johannesson is trying to get into the fashion game in the US and now Hreidar Mar Sigurdsson is opening up a consultant business in Luxembourg, conveniently located when you think about where all the money went from Iceland.
Halldor J. Kristjansson of Landsbankinn is off to Canada to run a bank. Brace yourselves, Canadian savers.
Good riddance and thank you for sticking us with the bill.
