Friday was a dark day for the U.S. economy.
Last Friday, Wells Fargo customers started complaining about missing money from their accounts. Wells Fargo has publicly acknowledged that customers are missing money from their accounts but did not provide customers with a timeline for fixing the issue. Silicon Valley Bank also collapsed on Friday.
When Wells Fargo customers logged into their bank accounts Friday, they were greeted with a message that read. “If you see incorrect balances or missing transactions, this may be due to a technical issue and we apologize. Your accounts continue to be secure and we’re working quickly on a resolution.”
Friday’s Wells Fargo statement to customers uses the interesting language “this may be due to a technical issue.” However, so far, the bank has announced no other “may be issues” as a possible cause for why Wells Fargo customers’ money is missing.
Friday was one of the darker days in American financial history. Silicon Valley Bank’s failure was the most significant financial institution collapse since 2008.
Friday’s grim financial news prompted Twitter users to start sharing a video from 2020 of former President Trump talking about America’s economic future “All this incredible job we have done will go down like that. It will be a terrible sight. It might even be a 1929 situation, but you will have a crash like you have never seen before. If you put the wrong person in office, you will see things you would not have believed are possible.” Trump said in the video.
Bank Panic! Is this Donald Trump prediction about to come true?

Friday’s Wells Fargo and Silicon Valley Banks news also prompted Twitter users to share a 2008 clip from the tv show South Park. The clip shows the local South Park bank losing all its customers’ money. “Another crazy thing South Park wrote that came true.” One Twitter user wrote.

You’d need to check with WF to be sure, but I think the answer is “No”, your acct is good across state lines. .You’d have to get your address changed on the acct plus probably in your checkbooks.
We bank with our state credit union PRIMARILY, but keep the WF acct for their massive ATM system. We’ve got kind of a special situation. We signed up with First Union Natl Bank decades ago. It was a combo checking/saving and there were no fees with a minimum balance, except to buy checks. FUNB was bought out by Wachovia which eventually became WF. Our acct was grandfathered in, along the way, as far as no fees. When we went to the credit union, we kept the WF acct because there were still no fees and they had the ATM system. I have my SS deposited in the checking, and we use it when we travel.
So our acct is not the typical WF acct, I’m thinking. But, it’s handy to have when we’re in Podunk City, Wherever and need some cash. As long as we stick with WF ATMs, there’s no charge to pull money out.
I hate fees.
Thanks!.........................
I opened my first checking account with North Ridge Bank when I was 14 years old. One location.
They got bought out by Landmark Bank, a countywide bank.
They got bought out by Barnett Bank.
They got bought out by NCNB.
They got bought out by NationsBank that either got bought out by or became Bank of America.
Haven’t really changed my account in 47 years.
A test run. The democrats will steal your money just like the other socialists did to the people in Canada.
Again?
