	Bank Runs, by George G. Kaufman: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		A run on a bank occurs when a large number of depositors, fearing that their bank will be unable to repay their deposits in full and on time, try to withdraw their funds immediately.
		If their concerns about the bank's solvency are unjustified, other banks in the same market area would generally gain from recycling funds they receive back to the bank experiencing the run.
		Runs are feared even more because of their potential spillover to other banks.

	Who's Afraid of a Run on Banks? -- y2kculture
		Keep in mind that Rockwell is a longtime critic of the current banking system, in which the Federal Reserve encourages banks to lend out much, much more money than they actually have in their vaults.
		(Banks no longer act like storage lockers, where everyone can take out what they put in.) If everyone wants their money at once, only those lucky enough to be first in line can get it.
		Seems to us that once the newly-minted money enters the banking system again -- either from relieved depositors or through indirect spending on purchases -- the banks will repay their loans to the Fed and we'll be back to normal.

	The Raw Story \| Taiwan appeals for calm in wake of bank run
		The run came after two subsidiary firms of the conglomerated Rebar Group filed a restructuring request with the Taipei District Court last Thursday after suffering losses totaling 25.2 billion Taiwan dollars (763 million US dollars) in the past seven years.
		The Chinese Bank is owned by the Rebar Group, whose chairman, Wang You-theng, and his wife were reported to have left for China shortly after the two firms filed the request.
		The bank had total deposits of 169.72 billion Taiwan dollars as of the end of 2006, with loans amounting to 124.6 billion Taiwan dollars.

	Euro2day :: Taiwan's bank run
		Taipei was characteristically quick to inject public funds into The Chinese Bank at the weekend, and the lender is something of a special case: the run came after two of its long-ailing affiliates filed for insolvency.
		Taiwan's bigger banks are emerging from an unsecured consumer credit crisis, but their outlook remains uninspiring.
		Bank runs this time round do not look like a rallying call for buyers.

	Weston Bank Run
		This notice states that the institution was closed that the depositors "may be treated equitably." Knowing the men who have the affairs of the bank under their control, this should be ample guarantee to the depositors.
		It should be clear to almost every one that a bank with deposits totalling more than two million dollars, could not have that amount in its vaults at all times.
		It should also be even clearer that no bank could within a few days call in all its notes and the money it has loaned.

	Bank Account
		Each entity (bank or client) is a process that can reside on a separate machine.
		It has two xc events: ack(id), called by the bank to indicate acceptance of the client's update request; and nack(id), called by the bank to indicate rejection of the client's update request.
		An update request must have a valid id. The bank issues an ack to a client only if the client has a pending update request with a valid id and, in case of negative update, the balance is adequate.

	‘Bank run’ defense blames it on Enron victims - The Enron Trial - MSNBC.com
		That is essentially who Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling have blamed by describing the energy trading company’s collapse as a “classic run on the bank” during testimony at their fraud trial in Houston.
		But the reality is that most banks survive a run on deposits, and any resulting failure is the reflection of a pre-existing financial ailment exposed by a run.
		A run needn’t be fatal because an otherwise healthy institution has the wherewithal to raise sufficient cash or borrow it from other lenders that wouldn’t risk their money on a bank whose ability to repay was suspect, he added.

		Asia's banks are already in danger with solvency problems and are doing little to repair their systems for y2k.

	'Bank Run' Defense Blames the Victims
		Had investors and creditors not run scared as the scandal unfolded in 2001, dumping their Enron shares and refusing to lend more money, the company and its purportedly healthy business wouldn't have been forced into bankruptcy, the former top two officers of Enron argued.
		Irrational market hysteria is a basic characteristic of a "classic" bank run, where word spreads that a financial institution is short of cash and panicked depositors rush to their branch to withdraw their savings before the money is all gone.
		Occasionally, the crush of withdrawals can be ruinous for a bank, forcing it to quickly liquidate investments at fire sale prices until the institution is left with insufficient assets to repay all its deposits.

	Bill could run bank gift cards out of Mass. - The Boston Globe
		The prepaid market, consisting of cards directed at shoppers, consumers without bank accounts, and corporations looking for a way to reward employees, is expected to grow 42 percent over the next two years to $15.6 billion.
		Simon has argued that its card is issued by a federally chartered bank and therefore not subject to state regulation.
		Dennis Moroney, senior bank cards analyst at the Tower Group, said the market for prepaid gift cards is so big and expanding so fast that banks may just increase their up-front handling fees to cover their costs.

	Cancel that frantic bank run - Orlando Sentinel : Business
		Banks such as Orlando National have offered the early adopters among their clients a particularly sweet deal: Those in its pilot program pay nothing for the first two years.
		It will also give banks the ability to clear checks in a matter of hours, dramatically reducing the "float" -- the time lag that occurs between when a check is written and when the funds are actually removed from the check writer's account.
		Banks argue that the benefits made possible by Check 21, such as the remote-deposit service, outweigh the loss of any float.

	Bank-Run Real Estate Brokerages? : RISMedia
		A recent survey of 800 adults, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies in early February, revealed that nearly two out of three consumers believe that in order to protect their interests, this regulation should not be approved.
		About 58% of respondents say they believe banks are too powerful already and should not be allowed to own real estate brokerage operations.
		The ruling would allow banks to have qualified persons on their staff handle brokerage services, or line up brokerage firm affiliates in their marketing area.
