very interesting speculation...the repercussions could be significant if those drained banks result in a collapse of counterparty risk obligations :?

This, if it has a kernel of actuality, gives rise to the question: was the week long posturing by the Cypriot politicians just a sham show to give time for it to happen?

Where did they move all that money to? I don't know, but I'll bet Goldman Sachs is going to have a very good quarter.
