10. 1929 The run on the banks.

France recently withdrew all their gold deposits from NYC.
Funny thing, they didn't have the physical gold and had to buy it at a higher price on the European market.

Imagine all of us demanding our money NOW! The reason is mistrust of government institutions and now FDIC and NCUA. Chump did this!

Banks fuck with us, we go underground. They are NOT too big to fail!
