Why doesn't the FDIC announce the banks on it's failure list?

Question

Shouldn't the people be allowed to know if their money is safe?

Answer 1

To prevent panic.  Just because a bank is on the endangered list doesn't mean that it will ultimately fail.  A bank's customers are on a need to know basis.  If it does fail, customers have FDIC protection.

Answer 2

because if they annouced banks in trouble, 1) everyone would take their money out and the bank would fail for sure 2) they would probably get sued

Answer 3

Most of the customers of that bank would withdraw their money as soon as possible.  This would cause that bank to fail almost immediately.  This would make the failure list a death list.
