In a last minute effort to stave off default, Greek government leaders have agreed to impose new austerity measures as part of a deal to secure another $172 billion in bailout money, and as much as a 70 percent write-off of its private debt.

In exchange, the banks will receive broad immunity from prosecution and civil suits. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for the banks.
