Wow, here’s the real news:

> Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

Note the uninsured depositors clause in there — FDIC &co seem to have acted unilaterally to extend deposit insurance beyond the 250k and to the full amounts of any deposit account.

And they are charging the banks for it.

If this doesn’t stop a run on the banks, nothing will, frankly.
