Greek Loans, Loan-Mongers and Stock-Jobbers. Was/Is Greece awake?

Lord Byron may have said that Greece is awake, but had the Greek people woken up to the implications of the loans that Byron was negotiating, and for which (it was intended) he would have the primary responsibility for disbursement?

Not in the views of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, vol. xvi, July December 1824. This is from an October 1824 article on The Liberal System:

"The Gentlemen of the Press, the Greek Committee, the loan-mongers, and Lord Byron, raised the cry of Liberty and Liberality! The nation re-echoed it, and not to join in it, was regarded to be little better than treason against our own freedom.

 The consequence to the wretched Greeks is, thay they are goaded and dragged on into a desperate contest...by a set of people in this country, who do it for their own beggarly personal profit, who are incapable of advising them, and whose instructions must inevitably lead to slavery and ruin."
