The same thing happened to all these stupid crypto exchanges and banks and yield scams.
The point is that they are supposed to have capitalization requirements and regulations that show they actually have more assets than liabilities.
But in reality they don’t so fractional reserve doesn’t work here. In fractional reserve the bank still has assets worth more than liabilities. That’s the whole point of the regulation.

This bank doesn’t meet that basic requirement
