Apparently Citibank (aka Citigroup) is next... I'm guessing the only reason we aren't seeing literal "runs on banks," in the US, aside from the fact most Americans have no savings to worry about and are too lazy or fat to form a line these days, but that it is just taking place in the world of the infinitesimally small, the electrons and photons screaming about on the billions of miles of copper wires and fiber lines, instead of mobs in the bank's lobbies. A Quantum Quandry, no?
England's Northern Rock, when it collapsed saw a "run," but it went largely unnoticed by mainstream media (don't want to panic folks) ... wonder if that will continue?
