I wonder if he used the same tactless tactics on the bank managers as he used in his tirades against jews and the US? Maybe the owners of the bank are Jewish. More details may come out in the court case though.
Also, it could be the US behind it. Maybe by transferring his assets to the Icelandic bank, the US can pursue legal claims against him more easily. Just a guess.

Has Fischer blamed the Jews yet?

Maybe Karpov works for the bank.

Strange that a bank would insist on losing out on S2.5 million dollars in assets. Obviously this is something very unusual; why shouldn't we believe that it was done because of animus against Fischer?

According to an unconfirmed rumour I just made up, Mel Gibson is going to play Fischer in a movie about his (Fischer's) life...

I think the last thing you could call No1 was anti-semetic.
And do you actually have any evidence that No1 isn't who he claims to be?

No Aristotelian logic applied, yet pure inductive reasoning.

If your observations of the phenomenal pattern are
different than mine, you surely have reached a different
temporary conclusion.
