    unlimited money in my bank account for 24 hours? withdraw as much as legally possible in cash then stash it somewhere. Then the next day when my bank account goes back to normal, I still got shit-ton of tangible cash stashed somewhere.

      Emphasis on “somewhere.” 50 years later I’d be on my deathbed telling my grandchildren “I’m not joking! I swear I have a fortune hidden somewhere!”

      Then it’d be like one of those movies where they have to find it, but they find themselves in increasingly bizarre and adventurous situations along the way.

        “Kids, come closer, I have something to tell you”

        “What is it grandma/pa kase?”

        “Come closer”

        “Yes?”

        “There’s always money in the banana stand”

        My wealth and treasure? It can be yours if you want it! Search for it! I left everything in that one place.

      That’s about 500 bucks for your average bank.

        Nah, you can physically go to your bank and withdraw whatever you want. I once rage closed my accounts at a bank because they kept changing their rules everyday to squeeze various fees out of me. I had over twenty thousand dollars across three accounts and withdrew all of it in cash on the spot.

        Putting that money INTO a new bank account was the more difficult leg of that journey. Fortunately, I kept the withdrawal receipts from the previous bank to prove where the money came from.

          Nah, you can physically go to your bank and withdraw whatever you want.

          That would depend on your country/bank. In the Netherlands physical bank offices are getting more rare every year and a lot of them don’t have any facilities for handling physical cash, apart from ATMs. The ones that do often require you to request your withdrawal at least a day in advance for any larger amounts, with ‘larger’ being €10.000,- or so. And of course this will net you a nice registration as all large cash transactions will have to be registered to prevent white-washing. So this route is not going to fly here. I’d recommend just buying the entire bank, that’s probably easier. 😋

          You’re right. I was thinking of the ATM. That has limits, but going into the actual bank doesn’t now that I think of it.

            And you can change the limit of atm withdrawal as well. Mine is set to $1000 but I think I can tell them to make it higher.
