    I found this: https://www.pressreader.com/malta/the-sunday-times-malta-1805/20240310/281612425368153 Not so surprising, given that link a few weeks ago about Blackcat ATMs around Moscow.

    Shower thought question: what would you do with extra money that you absolutely must spend?

    How about using the extra money to visit galleries, modern and classical, spend time thinking about your house and then start buying paintings, statues etc to make each room special. Gold coins? Or is that investing? For me, gold is more about security, insurance and to give to your kids in...

    From some forums: " Nonsense, nonsense, the West has got it all wrong as usual. The prisoner felt unwell after a walk, and tripped over a prison officer's bayonet after mistakenly drinking the bowl of polonium which the camp superintendent had put out to keep the rats down. All perfectly...

    Bankera has gone totally crazy

    To close an account, you should withdraw all funds and send an official letter, recorded delivery, simply stating that you have now closed the account. Even if they lose or ignore your letter, after a few years, the account will become 'dormant' and finally closed.

    Online Banking with Italian IBAN
