When you make an electronic transfer, the bank takes away your money immediately. However, it can take 2 - 3 business days for the money to show up in the new account. Who is holding the money during those 2 - 3 business days? Is someone earning interest on that money during that time? If you take all the electronic transfers happening every day all over the world, how much money does that amount to?

I've always wondered why they're called the illuminati?
Is there some obscure reason like that if you screw a light bulb in one's ass it will light up and hence you'll know he's illuminati?
They bring the light?
Something like that.Comment

For int'l transfers, I think the money just sits in the respective banks clearing sections while all the steps are performed. Very probably nobody is earning interest on that cash, but IDK.Indifference is BlissComment

Well, if they were overly contrarian, I'd call them the IllumiNOTi
If they're home office was in North Dakota, I'd call them the IlluMINOTi
If they were engaged in a light bulb conspiracy, I'd call them the IlLUMENati.
If the surnames of the leaders were: von Bismark and Skorzeny, they'd be the Illuminotto
That also applies somewhat if they're Turks: Illuminottoman
