How did the banks recover stolen money from a robbery before the FDIC insured days? March 7, 2010

Posted by Banking in : Personal Finance , 5comments
I remember reading about how the Ashley gang from the 1920s got away with 4,500 dollars and 18,000 in securities.

This, of course, was long before FDIC where which guarantees the safety of deposits in member banks, currently up to $250,000 per depositer.

How did the banks before FDIC recover money in the event of a robbery, like the Ashley gang robbery, or a bank run? Did the bank immediately go under?

I have a dual bank account with my mother. She joined me to her account when I was under 18. She can manage my bank account, but I can’t manage hers. I am now over 18, in college, and wish to manage my bank account by myself. How do I separate our accounts?
