Ozark – “A Good Old Fashioned Run On This Bank” (Rothbard Style)

For those who loved shows such as Breaking Bad, Narcos, El Chapo, etc., the new Netflix show Ozark will fill that hole left by these other impeccable works of art.

In this scene, Martin Byrde (played by Jason Bateman) goes to his bank in  an attempt to withdrawal nearly eight million dollars as he is being threatened by the cartel and has to relocate to the Ozarks in Missouri.

As if it were staged and scripted by Murray himself, Martin reminds the bank officials that if word got out that they wont  give him his money, it could start a bank run. This type of talk could have gotten you put in jail during the Depression Era. Fractional reserve banking, in its naturally bankrupt state, tends to always be a “floparoo”.
