FDIC -is- insurance, and it's not supposed to make money, it's supposed to cost money. It's a safety net for when shit hits the fan. There should, in fact, be things you're not allowed to do as a traditional banking establishment. And I'm sure this event will be precedent for more.

So every fifteen years or so someone finds a new way to go bankrupt while following “the rules” and the FDIC and the public get to foot the bill because they technically did everything right. That’s not how underwriters work. They look at your behavior and your business and they grieve you a quote based on how crazy you seem. And they do that with a bunch of legal verbiage about what they will cover.
