Shortly after the failure of Indymac Bank the FDIC revised its rules regarding qualifying beneficiaries and increased FDIC coverage from 100K to 250K per depositor in an effort to restore public confidence in the nation’s banking system. Unfortunately, for thousands of Indymac Bank depositors it was too little too late. The damage had already been done with thousands of depositors losing their hard earned life savings. It will be interesting to see if the FDIC pays back the money it took from the depositor’s accounts when the bank failed.

[This includes smaller community banks!] <br/><br/>For the many months Sheila Bair deliberated about IMB's greatly increased risks, almost unbelievably, the FDIC STILL created NO regulation about how they themselves or any financial institution they supervise communicates with its depositors on these KEY issues. Per Jim Devaney, Chief of the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Section – Division of Supervision and Consumer Protection. "Financial institutions can decide to let a depositor know if they are covered or not. It is the bank’s choice." <br/><br/>WAKE UP, FDIC.
