The 60 Minutes video linked in this thread doesn't mention cover identities for the individual FDIC employees, but does show that they're using a fictitious corporate identity for their reservations of meeting space (and possibly for a group booking of the hotel rooms). Keeping the FDIC involvement secret seems to be more important than keeping the individuals' identities secret.

Ah I see. So it's more about "hmm why did 100 (wo)men in black(tm) just all checked in -- something big must be going down -- oh they're all just here for the numismatic convention"; and not "hmm isn't that Bob who works for the FDIC? What's he doing here?"
