Departing IMF Senior Economist: "Ashamed To Have Had Any Association With Fund At All"

From Naked Capitalism:

Although the resignation letter of Peter Doyle, who was an advisor to the IMF’s European Departments, which is running the rescue programs for Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, is more terse that Greg Smith’s resignation from Goldman via a New York Times op ed, it is no less devastating.

From Zero Hedge:

The rats everywhere are now jumping furiously off the titanic, but few had taken the time to write a letter explaining in detail just how cracked and broken the hull really was. This has now changed, with the departure of Peter Doyle, formerly a division chief in the IMF’s European Department responsible for non-crisis countries and currently an adviser to the Fund. Not content with quietly slinking off the scandal ridden organization which has become the butt of all jokes in the international community, where humor about Lagarde's Louis Vuitton panhandling bag is as pervasive as punchlines about just how incompetent the organization is at actually doing its duty, Doyle has penned the following scathing letter which tears down every myth about the IMF: from its impartiality, to the selection process of its head, to its effectiveness. The letter also contains the following gem: "After twenty years of service, I am ashamed to have had any association with the Fund at all." Pretty much says it all. This is a scandal in the making, and one which may shake to the core the credibility of the IMF in the context of international organization.
