He’s never going to get this past the regulators. Financial break points and buffers make sense, every financial crisis and crisis of stability has taught us that. If you continue to build too big to fail systems, it’s going to be a complete disaster. Deposit institutions shouldn’t be involved in speculative investment banking , which is what high yield usually is. You can’t pay high yields if you aren’t in turn doing any sort of high yield activity with investor deposits. Or without any sort of prop trading. Which he’s sort of suggesting this is going to be. Some of this sounds like it’s going to break the Volcker rule.
Not to even mention this might not qualify for FDIC protections.
