They were more likely from Cyprus. Greek Cypriots.

when you have a country where corruption and tax evasion is a national sport and an incompetent administration (despite of being the biggest employer) is not even able to process a tax report in a timely manner, then it's bound to go under at some point.
it should have been stopped years ago, but politicians were too busy filling their own pockets
sorry to my greek friends, i like greece, i have been there in the past, but dumping money into a black hole and in return being called a Nazi is kind of annoying

So now explain the over borrowing of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Eire?
The problem is with the clowns who thought all it needed was a single currency without a single Chancellor of the Exchequer. Or what ever they would of called him. They allowed these broke countries to keep borrowing until they were so far in debt getting them all out is a massive if not impossible task.
Also if it was such a lame duck of a country, why include it in the EU in the first place. Don't even bother to explain that one because it would open the door to ask about Bulgaria, Rumania and ever considering Turkey is madness. But there are people sitting at desks who need something to do or they will have to do nothing all day.
And it it chasing that dream of a United States of Europe.
