Can someone here explain how things work when the FDIC insurance has to kick in? Could it become a convoluted mess that takes a long time to get your money back? I hope someone can enlighten me…..just in case.
(I understand the insured limits — for regular people. But those who ignored the limits willy-nilly are still getting paid by the FDIC. I know that decision was based on the potential for long range fallout because there was seriously big money on deposit for running businesses, and I guess there were certain banks that could supposedly handle those kinds of deposits. But how long can that kind of thing continue if the FDIC decides to pay out more to the technically uninsured?)
These sure are some weird, weird financial times.

I had a brokered CD with a bank (First Bank of Beverly Hills) that became insolvent in 2009. My account was credited with the principal the next day. I lost a small amount of interest.
I also had a similar experience with a savings account with the Bank of New England back in the early 1990's. The account was transferred to Fleet. I forgot how long that took.
