They simply might not have it in the branch. A lot of branches would have to put in a special order for that much cash. Of course it depends on where you are and what kind of flow the branch usually has.
The branch will probably counsel you to either use a bank check or wire the money to the destination. The number of idiot old people who withdraw their savings to give to a scammer is huge. And their families always blame the bank for not protecting them. It’s a no-win situation.
Yeah,man, some people just dig it.
(:
SO.... how much is a gold pokeman card worth? Asking for a friend.
I bet the hookers will still take $100 bills.
I am not sure, but I might be persuaded to give you a Mardi Gras doubloon from the mid-70s for it. Somewhere, I have a Pat O’Brien’s hurricane cocktail glass full of them as mementos from college years in New Orleans.
No offer of legal tender, huh ?
Whereas one has to input legal tender (or something of similar value) to be able to exchange. Certainly a precedence in legal tender at that point.
Can I get a loan at a bitcoin mine ?
I bet there will be people on the street who will ring up your sale, without a cash register if you have legal tender or gold. There probably won't be any 'clerks' in the stores anyway, and all the good stuff will already have disappeared.
OHhh, I like the cocktail glass, but even the hookers at the Mardi Gras won’t take the doubloons.
Bitcoin is magic—it can turn rich people into broke people—with the snap of a finger!
I should have stated it clearly.
I put $30,000 in the bank, and then (not instantly but a week later) go to withdraw $100.
You say it’s the law, they have to pay. If they don’’t, the bank can be closed. In which case I don’t get the $100.
You say the bank president and board can be jailed. In which case I don’t get my $100.
I assume your next recommendation would be the FDIC. Some banks have been very quietly dropping the FDIC coverage.
What recourse does one have then ?
And.... vice versa ???
Millions of people all over the world have lost their life savings to Bitscam.
Some lessons can only be learned the hard way.
As for banking your deposits where there is no FDIC insurance, ponder the Latin phrase "caveat emptor" -- let the buyer beware.
Best not to let those people know you have any kind of money.
Of course out here in reality we know those kind of black outs are pretty rare. Longest power outage I’ve lived through was about 11 hours. And I only had to drive about a mile and half to be out of it. This summer we had a nasty storm, friends of mine live in a neighborhood that took 4 or 5 days to get power restored. They stayed in hotel 2 or 3 miles away. So power outage is really just a thought experiment.
Banks are not dropping FDIC AND dealing with the Fed.
Anyone telling you that does not understand how banks work.
Close, very close.
Chinese industrialists easily made partial purchase price deposits in the Bahamian accounts of Alameda Research, whose funds by no accident ended up in FTX, for SBF to spread like bread upon the waters of the Democrat Party.
Meanwhile, after 8B lost, gone, *poof*, there was ONE story about ONE protestor -- ONE -- who showed up at SBF's parent's home, held up a sign, took a picture, and before leaving, said they had lost their life savings.
Journalist present didn't ask them a single question.
If this had been a GOP donor, the DNC would have hired protestors!
"In response to Genesis suspending withdrawals, Gemini halted redemptions from its Earn product. That left in limbo a program that, according to a person familiar with the matter, has $700 million of customer money tied up in it."
FTX fallout. Nearly a billion wiped from, not speculators, but people who used the Earn app as a referral product.
Not a single goddamn word in the MSM about what happened to these Earn users who had the slack jerked out of them, nothing.
This is by direct design by The White Hospice. It is Idiocracy not squared but cubed. This is why TrumpII is leading, Americans are fed the f up. It is 2016 all over again.
Power is out. We go into a store and tell the manager we both want to buy a case of water.
I offer him my bank card.
You offer him $50 cash.
Who will walk out with the case of water ?
Nobody. Power is out, the door is locked, the manager ain’t talking to anybody.
