if you visit emigrantdirect, you should see a rather large emboldened advertisement that emigrantdirect is fdic insured. it links to a pdf which shows a nice little chart outlaying the governments increased coverage of up to 250K. not surprisingly, this is probably in response to the recent current economic craziness. i’m guessing people are pulling their money out left and right and somehow this pdf is supposed to make us feel better about it all.
