You want to hear a real good one - My wife's father worked for Halliburton, he was killed on the job when she was 4 years old. A trust was set up for her at BanCorp South that she could not touch until she is 35, which is next year. Our 4 kids have CDs for college there as well. With the intrest since 1978 that trust is worth almost $1,000,000. BanCorp is filing for backruptcy, they will be bailed out by Uncle Sam and the FDIC will pay off the trust for $100,000!!!!! CDs are not protected, so the kids college money is GONE! Don't even get me started on my bank - Washington Mutual!!!!
