Japanese banks now in deep trouble!!

Post by rfhertz »

Laterst news from Tokyo...

Tokyo: 23 Oct 2008:

In the last seven days serious problems have emerged in Japan's banking sector leaving many in serious
trouble just when they thought they were recovering from Japan's own financial crisis of the past 10 years.

It was reported today that the Origami bank has folded. The Sumo bank has also gone belly up.
The Bonsai bank has just announced it will be trimming many branches. Yesterday it was the
Karaoke bank in trouble and up for sale, it is believed it will go for a song. Also shares in the
Kamikaze bank were suspended after they suddenly nose-dived. There are also reports that the
Janome bank is trying to stitch up a mutual deal with Shibori bank.

In late news it has been reported that the Samurai bank is soldiering on after serious cutbacks and
that the Ninja bank took a few hits but remains in the black. 500 staff at the Karate bank got the
chop and investigators report there is something fishy at the Sushi bank where staff are feared to be
getting a raw deal.

Oh yes, it was also reported that the Geisha bank is now well and truly %$##@*.
