Yes, it did happen. You may recall the global banking crisis from 10 years ago, when many banks were investing in high risk mortgages, lending money to anyone who wanted to buy property, regardless of their creditworthiness. Borrowers were getting 100% mortgage financing, with no money down, to buy overpriced homes.

Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's obvious they don't have cash to cover all customer's funds. It was more a facetious jab at Chris Mallick "investing" our money into a movie that flopped. That's incredibly high risk.
