There is: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-12/imf-says-bailout...

I encourage you to post that one as its own submission, it's infinitely better.

(I'd do it myself, but you might already be planning on doing so, and I wouldn't want to steal your imaginary internet points ;])

Ah no, go ahead...I was just answering a question here - satisfied with that :)

Ah, turns out it was posted 22 hours ago, and only got a couple of points. I'll be upmodding that one over this one, then.

That article appears to be the original source of the comments, from what I can tell. Other stories citing the comments mention Daria Zakharova (the IMF mission chief for Iceland) giving them in "an interview with Bloomberg", which BusinessWeek is part of.

Another source would be much appreciated. I can't take any article that uses the term "banksters" seriously.

Sometimes the truth is inflammatory.
