In the US, at least, people still got famous for being bank robbers back then. The FDIC, which provides limited insurance for bank deposits, started their insurance on January 1, 1934. So, sophistication aside, it's an interesting question what happened to depositors after a bank robbery.


The FDIC doesn't cover bank robberies. https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/information/fdiciorn...


Though I believe they've got another form of insurance for this.


FDIC doesn't insure against robberies.


No, but banks are insured against robbery.


Sure. I was headed in the direction of the FDIC not changing much about robberies.

What are you talking about? People are still famous for being bank robbers, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_robbers_and_robber... . FDIC insurance has nothing to do with robberies, it insures against banks going bankrupt.
