Matthew, many thanks for your feed-back. The actual size of the Greek debts (including interests), in 2015 economics, is anybody’s guess and it could very well be above euro 700 Billion. This is one reason why the IMF is insisting on a haircut of the Greek debt as a pre-condition for its participation in any future programmes. All data coming out of Greece has been questionable for quite some time with the explicit admission of the various Greek governments since 2010. That is why they had to change the heads of the Greek statistical office so many times. The actual size of the Greek debt (whatever this may actually turn out to be) could not have been accumulated over only one short period of time but rather over several periods and is a combination of contractual obligations (that were never disclosed in the financial data) and of course the actual expenditures and these are well known. What is being disputed are all these shady arrangements between the EU banks and Inter-EU, between Greece, the EU banks and the US and of course the “black money”. I shall give herein only one example which very few people would remember: Six (6) months prior to the Athens 2004 Olympics, the US threatened Greece of withdrawing its Olympic Team (which is one of the largest contingents) with the pretext that the security measures were not adequate and they forced the Greek Government of the time to purchase security equipment to the value of over $4+billion.These equipment are still in sealed boxes because very simply the Greeks had no sufficient time to installing them. During the Pasok governments there were a lot of corruptions but also a lot of so –called financial aid (grants) came from the EU. These cannot be included in any of the statistics because they were grants. These grants are clearly posted (publicly disclosed) in terms of value and so on outside the projects all over Greece. In short, it is a big mess and Varoufakis had very little to do with it. The culprits are Merkel and Sarkosy backed then by Juncker the head of EZ. They wanted to find a quick way out to save their banks and the EU financial system and to push the can down the road.
