2) #Yiledhogging is actually defined and described in Fooled by Randomness (2001). https://t.co/YWQ9JhaZ98 — PolitiTweet.org

Something unpopular: The bulk of the "losses" in #Lebanese #lollar deposits is just interest not made at all (& interst on interst). Many, many are actually ahead or breaking even. #Yieldhogs were making >5-7½% extra for years, >60-100% per decade. Yieldhogging is not risk-free. — PolitiTweet.org

3) Depositors were clearly not 100% victims, particularly when wealthy & supposed to be sophisticated. 80% of Lebanese depositors have cashed out (since it's a Pareto law: 1% of depositors have >50% of deposits). FBR (2001) https://t.co/k1rdwVEIUu — PolitiTweet.org
