Yeah, specially, when it is ADVISED on wiki as beginners tips.
To be honest, it was one of things, that almost make me quit. I have spend lots of time by crafting and selling drugs. Made about 2 000 000 caps without interest counted. Thinking, that if i will have income from interest about 50k a day, i would not need to craft anything anymore, and just buy things from merchants and players.
Than, i was completely screwed. More than a month worth of every day harvesting cash and doing virtually nothing else down the drain, cause i can't withdraw them. (Well, i can, because i have a character camped there and use dual-login EDIT: (I mean't quick-relog

. Like many many others. But i get about 20k caps a day) And we were said, bank is SAFE! NO IT'S NOT!
Right now, i don't see a damn reason for anyone to deposit money in the banks. Not even for moving cash from one char, to another. Leaving the money somewhere in the dark corner seems to be safer.
