“Though the financial world was suddenly glued to news of banks that only the most obsessive observers would have earlier heard of, none of their chief executives would agree to be interviewed. Some sent out mass notes to customers that side stepped the most pressing questions of the moment: How much money was being withdrawn this week, and what was the plan if the outflows pressed on?”
