Why would you deposit more than the insured amount in a bank? Could it not be split over multiple accounts and/or banks? Or pursue an institution that has additional insurance? (my brokerage, for example, uses Lloyd's of London for coverage beyond SIPC)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Imagine half of your vendors/customers are insolvent. Is this good?

Do all start-ups only sell stuff to other start-ups? If yes, that's their problem right there.

That’s why there’s a vendor word in my reply

I don't get the sense there is a lot of sympathy from HN over this event. People lost money, payroll may be missed, that's a detrimental thing for a lot of people. If little sympathy, why?

If any significant payroll gets missed I'm getting out the popcorn, regulators and courts will get that back.
