Maybe it's ironic that many reports on the actions of the people who brought about the collapse of the Iceland financial 'bubble' refer to them as having the 'Viking Mentality'

A female professor of politics Silja Bara Omarsdottir told one reporter
"These young men were living the way of the Vikings, going out and pillaging, and this is something women wouldn't do."

Iceland now has a female prime minister, and women lead two of its major banks.


Since April there have reports of thousands of secret bank accounts in Tortola and elsewhere containing funds looted from the banks in the days immediately preceding their collapse.

I think I should point out however that Tortola, the principal island of BVI, is actually in the Caribbean and its official currency is the US Dollar.

It is very unlikely that any Iceland banker would get a warm welcome in "some Island near UK"
