Is my money safe at Interactive Brokers ?

more specifically : where is my money held ? a bank account ? a clearing firm ?
which one?

they say:We currently hold $4 billion in equity capital. great and where's the money? at Citigroup? Chase ? is it safe?

with a widespread silent bank run, we could be wiped out, i don't trust SIPC..
