That's not a good analogy at all. FTX doesn't need to load a Brink's truck with physical cash and send it to various accounts, unlike an ATM machine.

This is closer to you writing a check and it bouncing not because you don't have enough money in your account but because your bank doesn't have enough money to settle the transaction.
