The fact that any bank would advertise "FDIC insured" is silly, as it conditions potential customers to look to the banks for this information. It would be better if folks were conditioned to consult only the FDIC themselves for this information.
- cperciva 2y agoIt serves the same purpose as asking customers "are you a terrorist" -- it creates an easily prosecutable offence.
- stoperaticless 2y agoCould you expand on why is it easily prosecutable? I sense that it has something to do with lying in documents. But hypothetically: if I write “no”. Proof of lying requires proof of terrorism. (At which point you did all the job of proving terorism, despite the document)
- rjsw 2y agoIf you ask it online then I guess it counts as wire fraud which may be easier to prosecute.
- dooglius 2y agoIs terrorism not already an easily prosecutable offense?
- teeray 2y agoIt should be a protected term in advertising. As soon as you use it, you surrender yourself to FDIC auditors.
