A wave of armed bank robberies has been sweeping Lebanon amid its economic meltdown. But the heists have followed a highly unusual pattern: The robbers are the banks’ clients, and the money they have been demanding is the contents of their own accounts.
These thieves have been driven to such extraordinary lengths to get their savings because banks have imposed strict withdrawal limits to avoid collapse.
In the Opinion video above, Sali Hafiz, a Lebanese interior designer, describes how a health crisis in her family drove her to take up arms — actually, a toy pistol — and withdraw her money by force. But the film also argues that the true thieves are not citizens like Ms. Hafiz who are trying to get their hard-earned savings but, rather, corrupt financial and political leaders who have helped to run the economy into the ground.
Prosecutors from five European countries have been investigating Riad Salameh, the governor of Lebanon’s central bank, who has been accused of laundering public money in Europe. And last Thursday, The Associated Press reported, Lebanese prosecutors charged Mr. Salameh, his brother and an associate with embezzlement, forgery, money laundering, illicit enrichment and tax law violations.

Ognjen Topić is a three-time world champion in Muay Thai.[1] Topic is also a former Lion Fight World Champion, having earned the title in 2013.[2][3] He was named “Professional Rookie of the Year” at the Muay Thai Authority Awards in 2011.[4] He is also a World Boxing Council (WBC) North American Super Featherweight Champion and World Kickboxing Association (WKA) North American Lightweight Champion.
Background
Topić was born into an ethnic Serb family in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His family fled the Bosnian War, first finding refuge in Serbia. Ognjen’s father traveled to America to support the family financially. Later he won a U.S. green card through the immigration lottery. The family emigrated to the United States when Ognjen was nine years old.
When Topić hit the sixth grade, he and his father started to watch a lot of boxing on TV. This saw him yearn to be a pro boxer. But, with his parents coming over from Serbia, they did not want him to be a boxer. Topić wanted to fight any way he could, so he settled for Taekwondo.
In four years, Topić received his black belt in Taekwondo.
At 18, Topić first saw Muay Thai on ESPN. He saw the style of fight and fell in love. He found a Thai boxing gym not far from where he lived and started training in New Jersey.
Also a professional graphic designer, Topić graduated from William Paterson University with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art.
