Some religious cultures don't believe in the concept charging/earning interest.  They keep their life savings in a basic checking acct.  

You will see this a lot among Middle Eastern and East Asian immigrants.

The first one is a shitty message. Don't focus on relationships? I know more completely miserable people who have money pouring out of their ears who can't hold a relationship worth a damn.

The 99MM one actually turned out to be real.  It was a hedge fund manager's account, and even he said he couldn't believe he had that much money in checking back then.
