Landsbankinn

Landsbanki was split into two banks, the old one Landsbanki Íslands hf (http://www.lbi.is/) and Landsbankinn hf. (http://www.landsbankinn.is). Both are operating today. This has to be changed to two different pages, one for Landsbanki (Landsbanki Íslands hf.) and one for Landsbankinn (Landsbankinn hf.).

Isn't the -inn just a grammatical ending, rather than a separate name (as suggested by "also commonly known as Landsbankinn in Iceland")?

Landsbanki Luxembourg S.A. has been declared in default and is currently in liquidation by the Luxembourg government. See http://www.landsbanki.lu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.144.41.200 (talk) 14:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Privatisation

Strange why is there no info on the way this banc was privatized.

Why could THESE criminals buy it, and not somebody else? How could these criminals finance the whole takeover prize, beside the money they allready had themselves.

Strange ther is no info on how the owners made money with it for themselves and who sits behind then? What did these criminals do to get rich while the Islandic people are now banctrupted? How come they did not go under in this deal themselves?

By the way what was the ethnic and religious background of all those people when we look way back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.243.40 (talk) 21:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

update needed

Can someone update this article to fully account for the financial crisis. The 2008 government take over is about the last thing discussed. Since then the bank has gone out of business and its internet subsidiary Icesave has resulted in an international conflict for Iceland. The current article however claims the bank as a strong, even leading international consortium. Arnoutf (talk) 11:40, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
