That is common sense and that is what the pundits on tv were advising. If he thought the bank was going to fail, he would have called his wife and told her to close out the accounts and withdraw everything instead of getting a few hundred bucks out of the atms.
If Chris, Jerry, or Sonya tells you that a hurricane is coming and it might be a good idea to go to the bank and withdraw some cash as if the power goes out the atms won't work, is that illegal in some way or an abuse of power? No, it is common sense and good advice. So was this. They weren't advocating a run on the banks to drain them, simply have some cash on hand.
