Look at Silicon Valley Bank that was also "too big to fail" and when it did the taxpayer had to bail it out. If something is too big to fail, it's too big, the regulator should have stepped in earlier to chop it up.

Nit:Taxpayers didn't have to pay money for the bailout. FDIC is an insurance program with premiums paid by banks
