No. Not having any money, you want to prevent redemptions and get people to increase deposits. Like imagine you are doing a ponzi right, you have 1b of assets and owe your customers 2b. Then with outflows this could turn into say 0.1b of assets and owing 1.1b - game over. But with inflows it could turn into 9b of assets and owing 10b. Now you just have to do a tiny bit of gambling on stocks or bonds to be solvent. Burn the books and it's like it never happened.
