I'm not in favor of this but most of the money lost will be by bondholders.

Why would you keep more than a 250K in a single savings account? If it's an investment you should invest it. If it's for liquidity why not split over multiple banks? Personally I don't keep that kind of money in a savings account but what's the story for people who do?
