The image of banks locking their doors to keep customers from making withdrawals during a bank run is what immediately came to mind when we heard that Citigroup was telling customers it has the right to prevent any withdrawals from checking accounts for seven days.
"Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts.

senior shareholders in the Chrysler bankruptcy swindled after Obama called them "speculators" who "refused to sacrifice."OK...Obama is certainly an anti-business jerk, who would not hesitate to use the bully-pulpit to bash business to further his union buddies. You'll have no argument from me on that. However, the point where the secured creditors lost their standing is that they all appointed JP Morgan Chase to negotiate for them. And Chase wanted to settle.
Now, the whole business of this affair may stink, but they already waived their rights...just like the Citi account holders waived their rights to jury trials.

If I banked with them, I’d have pulled my money out immediately and gone to another bank.
Thankfully, I don’t bank with that anti-gun establishment anyways so...

I didn't see any news reports that all the investors had caved, although some of them did. Legal analysts may have been wrong, but they were reporting that the Chrysler bankruptcy reversed 150 years of contract law precedents.

Indeed. There is no bigger liar around than Bill Burton. A leading bankruptcy attorney representing hedge funds and money managers told ABC News Saturday that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration's Auto Industry Task Force, threatened one of the firms, an investment bank, that if it continued to oppose the administration's Chrysler bankruptcy plan, the White House would use the White House press corps to destroy its reputation. The White House and a spokesperson for the investment bank in question challenged the accuracy of the story. "The charge is completely untrue," said White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton, "and there's obviously no evidence to suggest that this happened in any way."

apparently, i did and understand it. apparently you are still coming down from your meth high after getting laid off by Citigroup. Push yourself back away from the keyboard, take a shower, get dressed, and act like you have somewhere to go.

They just won't let me quit! I guess I could but it is hard to turn down what they are offering me, plus I get to move next to the grandkids and my move is paid for.
