In the US, at least, people still got famous for being bank robbers back then. The FDIC, which provides limited insurance for bank deposits, started their insurance on January 1, 1934. So, sophistication aside, it's an interesting question what happened to depositors after a bank robbery.
- maxerickson 14y agoFDIC doesn't insure against robberies.
- tptacek 14y agoNo, but banks are insured against robbery.
- maxerickson 14y agoSure. I was headed in the direction of the FDIC not changing much about robberies.
- sp332 14y agoThe FDIC doesn't cover bank robberies. https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/information/fdiciorn.html https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/information/fdiciorn...
- nickpinkston 14y agoThough I believe they've got another form of insurance for this.

- roel_v 14y ago"In the US, at least, people still got famous for being bank robbers back then." What are you talking about? People are still famous for being bank robbers, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_robbers_and_robberies#United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_robbers_and_robber... . FDIC insurance has nothing to do with robberies, it insures against banks going bankrupt.
