Brian Kelly of Kanudrum is so concerned about Greece he bought an Athens paper and hired a translator to find out what’s really going on.

And he’s learned that things may be worse than we think. According to the paper Athens discovered even more debt – to the tune of $40 billion euro.

”Greece is being asked to reduce their debt by $40 billion and this is an increase of $40 billion,” says Kelly. Not good.
