No one has ever lost a penny in an FDIC insured account...Despite that the "insurance" is supposed to be on only the first $100,000.

Anything that FDIC has paid out in excess of $100,000 Was a bailout.

Now admittedly, some of those who were bailed out by FDIC were old grandma's with big bank accounts.
