Treasury bonds are quite literally considered to be one of, if not the, absolute safest investments in existence. It's literally guaranteed returns... If somebody put every penny that they had in treasury bonds 99% of financial advisors would tell them they are being too risk averse.

That would be considered a risk. Unless you're really old, then you are just leaving money sitting on the table. And I'm not sure this was the only thing that happened with this bank.

That isn't what risk means. "You aren't getting the biggest returns possible on this money" isn't financial risk.
