SIPC info on how it works:typical bankruptcy, over 95% of assets are recovered. This means that 500k coverage in a typical bankruptcy will ensure that nobody ... under $10MM will lose any money.

Customer A has a claim for securities valued at $250,000. Customer A would receive his securities (or $250,000 in cash). 40% of the value would come from customer assets and 60% from funds advanced by SIPC.
Customer B has a claim for securities valued at $1,000,000. Customer B would receive securities valued at an amount of $500,000 (or $500,000 in cash) from funds advanced by SIPC. Customer B would also receive a distribution from customer property valued at $400,000 (40% of $1,000,000). In total, Customer B would receive $900,000, and would have a general creditor claim for the remaining $100,000.
