What on earth. Putting money money in the bank was never a risk founders were lauded for, nor should it be on the titanic list of things they have to worry about.
We can brawl in the peanut gallery over FDIC limits and precedents and moral hazard (which lies with the banks, btw) but at the end of the day there can only be one “best country to start a startup” and whatever that is, it’s definitionally one where you don’t have to worry about getting rugged by the bank because someone you wouldn’t know from Adam made a bad bond trade.
