Executives responsible for this **** should be banned from the industry and BoD positions. The risk management **** ups would have to omit their tenure from their resume to find another job. Executives always get golden parachutes of varying degrees of **** you money and, after enough time has passed to remove their name from the headlines, pity **** Board positions.I do disagree that this isn't a bailout for the bank executives. Knowing that they can **** up as hard as they want and get to hit the reset button is a bailout, if not in the direct financial sense.

There is $128bn in the Feds insurance fund.Yeah. Had no idea this wasn't being taxpayer funded.
The bank had $209bn in assets at time of Fed seizure.
I'm not sure how much the insurance fund needs to have to cover these but it would seem as if it could be completely depleted in the blink of an eye before "all deposits" are guaranteed.

My first inclination was to blame the risk management folks. But, talked to my client today, this seems like business model idiocy, and why creating a bank to cater to start ups is stupid. From what I can tell, their risk was their proportion of non-FDIC insured deposits. All banks are taking hits from the treasury bond prices, but this idiotic bank was uniquely vulnerable to a run due to their clientele.Executives responsible for this **** should be banned from the industry and BoD positions.

Isn't that where regulation comes into play? Sounds like they set themselves up for failure.

That's a good question I guess. Looks like this Trump regulatory roll back from 2018 removed stress testing requirements for banks under $250B in assets (SVB). Not sure what happens if a stress tell your regional bank that is vulnerable to a bank run, like, does that mandate something?Isn't that where regulation comes into play?

I don't deal with financial risk, I know how banks are supposed to tackle things like liquidity, credit, and market risk. But I don't know how the mitigate those risks holistically.

Per Matt Levine of Bloomberg:
As the bank for start-ups, which have a lot of cash from investors and the initial public offering of stock, SVB had lots of deposits. But start-up companies don’t need much in the way of loans because they’ve just gotten so much cash and they don’t yet have fixed assets. So, rather than balancing deposits with loans that fluctuate with interest rates and thus keep a bank on an even keel, SVB’s directors took a gamble that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates. They invested in long-term Treasury bonds that paid better interest rates than short-term securities. But when, in fact, interest rates went up, the value of those long-term bonds sank.

Because it generally doesn't matter what's "allowed" and what's not...things are just going to happen because the people getting the richest off of this aren't going to regulate themselves out of getting rich...
