Are you claiming that the DIF wasn't touched in the process of handling the collapse of SVB, Signature, and First Republic?

Are you further claiming that large commercial banks don't have depositors?

That was my claim, but it does seem like I was wrong. I'm going to have to figure out where I got this bad information from.

I do think that "Wall Street firms" in even the most expansive sense isn't generally understood to include large commercial banks. Some companies like JPMorgan are big enough in investment banking to kinda land on both sides of the line, but I've never heard anyone refer to Bank of America or Wells Fargo as a Wall Street firm.
