How could they ever enforce a limit on deposit insurance after SVB? Any shred of legitimacy around that limit has faded.

  I’m still confused by this. Aren’t they making depositors mostly whole by selling all the banks assets? I believe they are at least doing that. But are they also injecting money to make up the difference?

    The fdic estimates it will cost the fund ~20B https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2023/pr23023.html https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2023/pr23023.html

      Yeah we spared no expense and once you start giving something away you can never stop.

      Does that imply that the fund's costs exceed 250K per depositor? How many depositors did SVB have?
