Some interesting anecdotes. This is from someone who runs a private bank, a solid one with affluent clients:
- One customer withdrew all his money, in cash. The bank had to hire an armoured car and deliver $1 million in cash to the customer's house.
- Another customer withdrew all his money, in cash, and placed the physical bills in his safety deposit account.
- He has top-quality loan applications covering his desk. They would allow him to double the size of his bank in a year. But he cannot, because he does not have the deposits to lend.
- He's never seen anything like this. Nor have the oldest guys at his bank.
