The simple (and obvious) solution for this is to have mandatory federal insurance for any bank operating in the states, based on the amount of assets it holds.
If they fail, this insurance pays out some percentage of their deposits (say 60% - 80%, just to keep investors on their toes as well). Banks employing executives from other banks that failed (ahem) would pay higher insurance as a result.
This is NOT a complicated problem beyond "how do we burn out corruption from our institutions?"
