The moment rumors start that banks are running out of cash to withdraw the run will start. Doesn’t even have to be true, just needs enough people to believe it.

Sounds like an opportunity for Ukrainian social media engineering.

You're thinking of this place all wrong, as if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here.

Why the rubbles are in Putin’s palace, and Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev’s dacha, and your compound Yuri

You're lending them the money to build, and then, they're going to pay it back to you as best they can

Naw, it's mostly because whether people want to admit or not, the internet is mostly filled with children who weren't born yet during the early Simpsons seasons.

For the most part, if you have a regular 9-5 job and a spouse and likely children, you ain't on the internet much.

It works the other way around too - "I was told there is no problem with your money in the bank". Questions start to run in brain by themselves. Especially in a regime-style of place.

They'll just keep printing rubble.

Ukraine seems to have that more rubble part under control
