Although our main Intel sources were under Non Disclosure Agreements and couldn’t give Intel, we do know that Tier 4B (us, the Internet Group) notification was imminent in order to obtain appointments to exchange/ redeem at the special rates.
Redemption Centers were prepared to do redemption/ exchanges at the special rates starting Thurs. 4 March or Fri. 5 March and go through Sun. 14 March.
A Wealth Manager at a lead bank suggested that this could be released tonight Tues. 2 March and we could get notified Wed. 3 March or Thurs. 4 March.
Another military source said that Tier 4B would be notified Thurs. 4 March and start exchanges on Fri. 5 March.
The Emergency Broadcast System was set up to go on the same time table.
Those exchanges/redemptions for Tier 4B would go to Mon. 15 March, when the general public could then exchange foreign currencies at the new international rates.
