Wells Fargo's chief executive has warned the Federal Reserve against forcing banks to hold more long-term debt, a measure that central bank officials believe will help end the phenomenon of institutions judged "too big to fail."

Under a new "orderly liquidation authority," unsecured debtholders would be forced to swap their debt for equity in a recapitalised group.

Will Joe Sixpack understand that this is essentially saying, "You are gonna get Cyprused"?

Unsecured debtholders = customers with accounts > FDIC limit ($250K IIRC)

forced to swap debt for equity = confiscated to bail out the bank
