$190,000 withdrawn in $20 bills

Irate bank customer hits back

"Defiant Mapua artist Roger Griffiths today made a stand against Westpac by withdrawing his $190,000 savings in $20 notes..... Mr Griffiths, a loyal Westpac customer for 25 years, decided to withdraw his money after the bank rejected his application for an $80,000 mortgage. "It's about time normal people took a stand."

Well first of all, money is paper and he's lucky he didn't get mugged on the way out of the bank..I know I would have knocked him down for just being stupid..He had nearly $200,000, what the hell did he need and $80,000 loan for?..I think the story smells fishy

Probably tax shelter/ break.....maybe he wanted to give a loan to a family member that had crappy credit, but didn't want to GIVE the money away.
