High-flying risk-takers demand their bailout Christopher Walken’s first movie role was in The Anderson Tapes, a 1971 Sidney Lumet caper film starring Sean Connery. Walken played “The Kid,” a junior safecracker. Connery’s team of thieves robs a high-end New York apartment building. It’s Oscars weekend. But that’s not the reason for mentioning the film. When Walken can’t break into a safe in one rich couple’s apartment. ‘Duke’ Anderson (Connery) demands the combination. The man refuses. Duke yanks up the man’s wife by the hair.

Secured depositors will get their money on Monday. The richest depositors (above $250k) might not get their rest of their money for some time. In the meantime, they’ll get, in essence, IOUs. Poor bastards. Twitter users were quick to jump on tweets…
