Hmm, are you still covered by the FDIC if you deliberately engineer a bank failure? Let's say all of Bank of America's customers decided that they just really wanted to fuck BoA hard. So they arrange to all demand the complete liquidations of their accounts, all at once. Or maybe people arrange a series of bank failures as part of some broader political movement. But hypothetically, if a group of people deliberately caused their bank to fail, would their deposits still be FDIC-insured? In other words, if you deliberately arrange a bank run, will you still be covered by FDIC insurance?

Hi, I don't think my withdrawal of $20 from my collective accounts with BOA would really cause a failure... but I'm willing to try! Sincerely, -Poor
