It seems when a company you work with goes bust, the subsidiaries of that company go with it too. This is important, and not something I think people take seriously.
In the case of this company:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_Crowd#Risk_and_regulation
.... the company was structured to ringfence investor's money.
That doesn't work because it's a subsidiary, as far as I know.
Q: How would this have been structured better?
If you don't think this is relevant, consider:
the balance sheet of your bank, who owns that bank, what country that owning bank is in and whether there's any coverage from any entity for bailouts.
