I wouldn't mind knowing who made the withdrawals.

Assuming this is actually true, of course.

A bank run is something that happens over a period of time, as customers hear rumors or get information about their bank, and try to withdraw their money. The IndyMac bank run took 11 days to pull $1.3 billion out.

Half a trillion dollars in one hour isn't a bank run. It's a planned attack.
