Greek Banks Are Bleeding Deposits

One of the great fears of the euro crisis is that there could be a run on the banks.  In particular, experts fear that speculation of a Greek exit from the euro currency could cause a major run in Greece, potentially causing the banking system to collapse.

A second banker said the drawdown may have exceeded 700 million euros yesterday. An official for the Bank of Greece (TELL), the Athens-based central bank, declined to comment.
