You are a very trusting person.

I remember Argentina closed its banks to devalue its currency, and people couldn’t access their money - when they could a few days later, it was worth a lot less. A few smart ones figured out ATMs in casinos in neighboring Uruguay would spit out their cash, and they promptly withdrew everything and bought up necessities with it (since they would cost so much more when the banks re-opened).

Our own government has been devaluing the US dollars for years, and also has a lor of controls over cash (with reporting requirements that presume you are guilty until proven innocent); I don’t blame anyone for keeping cash out of the banks. When our 1%ers do it, it is just hidden as other assets (metals/coins, “art”, etc.).

Damn Peronistas never learn their lesson.

Uruguay isn’t much better.
