The onus is on the people claiming that this is a no-risk deal for the FDIC. Otherwise, seeing this as a bailout is the reasonable conclusion.

If there was no risk, JP Morgan would be willing to step in to capitalize. The fact that they won’t tells me this is a bailout.

I mean, they spent the weekend trying to find a private buyer and clearly nobody wanted it. Doesn't seem to be a reach to conclude it might not actually be a great deal for the new owners (the US government)...
