    It’s more that the government is first in line to get paid. The Bank doesn’t care a ton about you going bankrupt, as they are second only to the government in getting their money back.

      This is the key point that the banks are concerned with.

      It’s a terrible idea to fund this loan because you likely will only get Pennies back
