It's now that way with the $$ in your bank! We, the depositors, are now considered "unsecured creditors", thanks to the recent G20 summit! Gotta love it... Coffee cans & mattresses look better every day.

Pertinent quote:
So ordinary depositors will become unsecured creditors (the largest group for a deposit-taking institution) under the new laws enacted in the G20 nations. The resolution process (that is, the bankruptcy procedure) would see deposits confiscated and turned into equity or liquidated to pay off secured debtors.
