Why A Woman With A Gun Demands Her Money Back From The Bank

You have a bank account and you deposit money in the bank. You should be able to withdraw your money when you like. What if you cannot withdraw your money? It is not that you commit a crime, and your bank account is locked for a specific reason. There is a restriction to withdraw people's money from the bank.

Why A Woman With A Gun Demands Her Money Back From The Bank.jpg

You see your loved one is dying. You begged the bank manager to let you withdraw your money from your bank account. You can withdraw only a small amount from your bank account due to restrictions. That would be nothing for the treatment of your loved one who is fighting cancer.

You sell your personal belongings for the treatment. If you go through any situation like this, you know what it feels like. You think of selling your kidney for treatment. You cannot see your loved one dying in front of you.

The thing is, you have money in your bank account, but you cannot withdraw it. People may do extreme things in that situation. A woman went to the bank with a gun to withdraw her money. Her sister is dying, she sold her personal belongings. What option does she have? Selling her kidneys!

When you see you have nothing to lose or almost lost everything, you do your best to find any solution. That woman forced the bank manager and treasury to give her money back from her account. She got $13,000. It happened at BLOM Bank in Beirut, Lebanon recently.

It seems like a movie story but it is not. Similar incidents are happening and customers are forced to do extreme things to withdraw their money. Another man's mother was in the hospital and he also tried to get his money back from the bank following the same method.

Once you deposit your money in the bank, the bank is in control. You save money in the savings account so that it can save you when you need that. Unfortunately, things like this can happen and you are unable to withdraw your money.

There is nothing like a cryptocurrency that gives you complete freedom. We put our trust in the existing financial system, maybe because we did not see extreme situations that could happen. The more people are aware of what blockchain and cryptocurrency offer to have financial freedom, the sooner we will see mass adoption of cryptocurrency.

That woman confirmed that was not a real gun, that was a toy gun borrowed from her nephew. She said,

"I did not break into the bank to kill anyone or set the place on fire. I am here to get my rights."

Hope no one has to go through a situation like this. Thank you for reading this post. Please feel free to leave your comments. That's it for now. I'll be back with another post.

It's one of the downsides and why people are scared of bank runs. It reminds me of all the people trying to pull out funds from Chinese banks when there were rumors of banks having trouble.

We may see more things like that in the near future. The economic condition of many countries is pretty bad.

This is one of the major disadvantage of putting our hard earned money in the bank. By paper it is our money, but technically it is not. Good thing we have now cryptocurrency.

Yes, it's a blessing that we have cryptocurrency now. We have absolute control over what we hold in our crypto wallets.

Btw, I read the article. The woman you mentioned has her money in locked savings that is why the bank didn't want her to withdraw it. 😁

There are many people like her whose money is locked especially foreign currency. Due to the economic situation, the government put restrictions.

the banks are job nowadays. literally, you give your money so that they can "safeguard" it, they use ofc to have liquidity and stuff to do whatever they want and at the same time they can use restrictions or whatever along with the government to actually don't you give you back your money when you need them. At the same time they give you interest rates if you save like 0.1%. So let's say i have 10k i will receive 10$ per year. I can literally go out in the streets once per week or even once per month asking people for money and i will manage to get more. 0.1% while the inflation is 10%, what a joke
