    All4one has now clarified. He is talking about bail-in legislation based on what I suppose to be an international
    scheme or arrangement in terms of which creditors of an institution with amounts above $200,000.00 will be automatically required to convert their interests into equity in a bank going belly-up.

    This has, of course, to do with the need to minimize tax-payers exposure to the disbursement of billions in bail-outs of institution too big to fall.

    Legislation to this effect has been portrait by some extremist right-wing groups as government robbery of people's savings. Note that deposit amounts bellow the $200,00 threshold are apparently still being guaranteed at tax-payers expense .
