    Lol, panic withdrawals are never easy for a bank to handle, but it's funny that this is (for the moment) probably less of a liquidity crisis and more that Wells Fargo never bothered stress-testing their system since transaction counts are probably predictable.

      unfortunately for the bankers, the perception that a run is underway is the same as one actually happening

      Panic withdrawals are exactly the opposite of what the Fed wants. They are desperately trying to limit the supply of money circulating in the economy rn and a major bank just showed people that it can vanish into thin air.
