No one who knows what they're talking about is objecting to the bank's remaining assets being distributed between depositors. But there's talk of taxpayer money being used to make depositors 100% whole regardless of how many assets remain, and I think that's where the controversy is.

Everyone has always known that $250k is the max that's guaranteed to be given back to you, and the idea of the government paying back more out of taxpayer funds because a lot of VCs gave their startups bad advice rubs people wrong.
