I am not sure whether Emigrant Direct is in that business or if so how big is the business, at least I haven't heard anything. However, I won't worry too much about the money in the savings account. The money is insured by FDIC up to $100,000. I think your money is save as long as it's under $100,000.

Is Emigrant going to be hit next?

Shall we close our saving account there just to be safe?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
