3 As soon as markets open the market will decide the actual exchange in which case its likely to be max worth 30pct of the Euro which decreases Greek external debt by 70pct

After the initial drop it will come back but at what exchange rate, who knows. Probably in the 1/3D/1E
I read that article, and I can't see two and three as being acceptable to the Banks or the countries involved. At least the 1 to 1.

At this point if they even agree to it all of the other countries with heavy debts will demand the same thing.

Its more then likely that if they accept the exit they might accept Greek Currency but at a more realistic estimated market value.

There's no reason why they would accept a 1 to 1 repayment with Drachmas only to see the value of that repayment drop to 30% after the repayment..
