You are not already in big trouble?
Actually "I" am but my sister who happens to be in the US pursuing her studies needs money ( tuition, rent etc..) and since we can't transfer money anymore ( which is absolutely obnoxious and unfair), I need to withdraw dollars in LBP at 1505 rate from the bank, convert the LBP to USD at 1750 and give the money to someone going to the states after tomorrow.
And yes, ATM is not giving me LBP instead of USD for some reason...
Ironically, I just realized that AMEX reduced my CC limit from 15K to 3.2K WITHOUT ANY NOTICE
This is beyond ridiculous... and this country is literally ruled by mafias.
update : 1 USD = 1725 LBP - Nov 11, black market rate.
