You are right the FDIC did take control. International accounts of the FDIC ensured banks are explicitly not protected.

In any case, those people who complain should take it up with the FDIC.



Which they are, and FDIC now has to choose whether it's going to take back the loans it's sold off to pay the account holders.

This isn't about what happens to FDIC insured accounts, it's about how to apply pre-existing FDIC policy for handling non-insured accounts. The regulation is very clear on how not insured accounts get offset in some cases and the regulations are unclear or discretionary in other cases.

This goes full circle back to my original point that if the FDIC takes control of the International loans, but they should deduct the value of that counts from those loans, just like they did for the majority of the customers
