Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis wore this outrageous shirt to Greek parliament

Here's the shirt former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis wore to Greek parliament on Friday. It's really something else.  As for other problems dogging Varoufakis, Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras doesn't think he ought to be tried for treason for his role in devising an emergency plan to introduce a new currency in Greece were the country to fall out of the euro.  "You can blame him all you want for his comments, for his political plans, for his bad taste in shirts, for his holidays on the island of Aegina," Tsipras said Friday, according to Bloomberg. "But you can't say that he is a crook, you can't say that he stole the money of the Greek people, you can't say that he had a secret plan to lead the country onto the rocks." Back in February, we crowned Varoufakis the most interesting man in the world. With reason.  SEE ALSO: Greek parliament must decide whether to try Varoufakis for treason Join the conversation about this story »
