I get how it'd put them in bankruptcy or whatever the precise term is for a bank. I'm just curious what it means in terms of people getting their money back. If their assets lost 10% of their value, I could see that being enough, combined with the bank run, to put them under. But if everything else gets sold off at 90 cents to the dollar, that's not awesome but it's not like "poof it's gone entirely" either.

People will very likely get most, or even all, of their money back, just after the gov is able to offload some of the assets. Problem is, if you're a startup, you can't just wait a few months for the cash to make payroll.
