CondeNast Portfolio writes "​Kanjorski and the Money Market Funds: The Facts", which discusses and dismisses the conspiracy theorists circulation of a video alleging that $​550 billion flowed out of "​money market accounts" in two hours on Sept. 18 and that the Fed closed down the money markets. Thankfully, writer Felix Salmon brings some sanity to this crazy story, saying, "​With the Kanjorski Meme still spreading, I think I'​m finally able to squash it with some hard figures: there never was a $​500 billion outflow from any asset class in the space of a couple of hours or even weeks, and the Fed never shut down or froze any money-​market accounts."
