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 withdrawing people's money from the bank.
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.
The bank agents are so lazy and wants only to handle deposit. When you say I want to withdraw my money they just say go to ATM machine and refuses to process withdraw request. Sometimes the ATM machine itself is not working they say go to other ATM of another bank and withdraw. If you insist they could fire you from there and this happens in front of my eyes. Like when you say I want to withdraw you insult them.
