Reply to comment by moonguh in Dalio talks again about the Silicon Valley banking crisis: the world is leveraged to invest and everyone loses money by Evreya
If the government did not step in to insure bank deposits then all deposits above 250,000 are essentially eliminated. Meaning the depositors lost money and no one gained any money on the other side. Bankruptcy is another example of it not being zero sum. It supposed to be zero sum, but market dysfunction creates scenarios where that isn’t always the case.

No, still the money had not lost. All the money are locked in bonds during the low rate, so the creditors would buy these at a huge discount, then sit on them until maturity and make banks.
