Causes?

Nearly all the news articles discussing the situation mention the Icelandic banks being unable to refinance their debt as one of the leading causes of the crisis, with the unability to refinance being linked to the tanking Króna.

But someone reading this article would have almost no idea about the causes of the crisis, a lot of the effects are covered but that's only the half of it.

There are also supposedly a lot of other factors involved, e.g. foreign investors dropping Icelandic assets once the instability of the Icelandic economy became clear, these and other factors also need to be covered. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 20:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russians and money laundering

Is there any reference to the bailout that Russian offered? This Times article suggests it was offered because Russian companies have been using Iceland's lax banking system to launder money - which is why they want stabilise it. Is there any truth in that?
