The all powerful NSA known by insiders as No Such Agency is not just watching everything and getting dirt on everyone.
But also it seems playing with account balances of institutions, organizations, banks.
Will NSA play a part in market Crash
A White House review panel report into the activities of the NSA suggested that the government was using the spy agency to launch cyber attacks against financial institutions and change the amounts held in bank accounts.
The governmentâs ability to use the NSA to directly amend bank accounts increases the risk of Americans being subjected to a Cyprus-style âbail-inâ where a tax on savings deposits is directly levied in the name of austerity.
