FDIC usually doesn't protect against attacks on individual depositors. Fraud, scams, and theft for instance arent covered. If your bank just steals it FDIC usually won't be for that.

And that's why I said federal regulations. FDIC covers failure of your regular savings, SIPC for brokerages, and the myriad of federal regulations (Reg E, Reg CC, OCC/Federal Reserve, CFPB) covers these edge cases. | ||
