      Balance:

      Each of 98 Townspeople: $50

      The Merchant: $1050

      The Farmer: -$950

      So, the 98 towns people and the merchant all wants to withdraw.

      ???

      Now you have a riot outside of a bank.

      Congrats, you destroyed a Town with #Banking 🫠

      Or alternatively.

      The Banker just gaslight the town to mob-lynch the Farmer the good ol’ capitalism way.
