In an effort to quell the panic, the government pumped $3 billion into eight troubled financial institutions--a policy that many analysts believe helped expand the crisis. In June 1994 all the subsidized banks were declared insolvent and closed down; none reopened. Some of the rescue money was used to pay off depositors, whose savings accounts were insured up to $23,000, but much of it simply disappeared. William Davila, vice president of Venezuela's Senate finance committee, charges that bank managers loaned themselves the money and shipped it to overseas accounts...
