A disgruntled bank customer in China began withdrawing a fortune in cash.
-Editor
A wealthy Chinese man who was asked to follow pandemic protocols inside a bank in Shanghai responded by threatening to withdraw all his savings.
The man, known only by his social media handle Sunwear on Weibo, flared up after engaging in an argument with employees of the Bank of Shanghai on Hongmei Road, reported Ladbible.
Sunwear noted in his Weibo posts that he first withdrew 5 million Chinese yuan (around $783,000) from his account (the maximum withdrawal per day) and ordered the staff to manually count and check each 100 yuan banknote.
He then told them he would keep returning to withdraw the same amount until he fully emptied his account.
He also shared images of bundles of bills placed on top of the bank counter and later tucked in suitcases.
