So your big argument that everyone is to blame is that somehow you assume that others might have suspected that Greece did extensively falsified their accounting to hide double-dgit deficits and massive debt?
Because I'm pretty sure that greek governments decided all for themselves to pile up even more debt and falsify their records to hide it from the public.

Well. Yes. And even in your reformulation, it sounds like a fairly reasonable argument.
1. They knew what Greece was up to. 2. They facilitated it - or turned a blind eye. 3. They benefited from it.
I don't see how it's unreasonable for everyone to share the blame for this. Sadly the cost can't be shared as equally as the blame.
