Absolutely. People like Garry Tan, Sam Altman, Michael Seibel, Paul Graham, Mark Cuban, all pushed hard to keep their money, not caring if it's at taxpayer expense. Rich people tend to only care about helping others when it aligns with helping their own pockets.

This may have been the most prudent decision by the government, though it'll be hard to say what would've happened otherwise. But in the end, it sounds like the average person will still be negatively affected, by having small accounts under the $250k limit subsidize insurance for larger accounts.
