The bank losing $40k is much different from you losing $40k
The bank just made the money up. You may have deposited $4,000 which, thanks to fractional reserve lending, allows the bank to make loans 10x that amount. So the bank utilized your $4,000 savings account as justification to lend $40,000 to some illegal spic. And if the spic doesn't pay it back then the bank didn't lose anything because they never had the $40K to begin with, and your $4k is still there. The $40K loan was just numbers in a computer, and fiat fake money printed. And many of these bogus loans are FDIC insured, which you also pay for.
