The new Orderly Liquidation Authority was explicitly created for nonbanks, since the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation already has a resolution process for commercial banks. Dodd-Frank would thus codify the mistakes of 2008, with bank deposit insurance supporting the rescue of all manner of uninsured adventures in the capital markets." Quotes-end.png
