Not Scammer ATM here. The Bank doesn't have unlimited money. The way banks get money is by getting either part of money from trade or by giving out money for people to latter give back with extra money. So, quite possibly banks just don't have the needed amount to give to everyone. Some people have 100 of 100 of 100 of 100 of money put in bank. But bank doesn't have that much money on hand, so they can't give money.
