They all got away with it. Bad decisions, irrational investments, and no lessons were learned. Biden bailed out his buddies. Elitism among the wealthy paid for by the taxpayers. The French Estates. Biden and his buddy investors, the woke freaks destroying our nation are the First Estate and we the people are the Third Estate.

They are insiders… but insider trading has its own definition and you do not even have to work for a company to engage in insider trading. Company insiders do have trading rules that they must comply with.

That's because they are not just lazy but unethical. This is literally theft.

I don't think any of them learned that in school. They think money is for the stealing.

This is bailing out their friends now - while money exists - at the expense of all the other institutions down the line which are going to fail in the near future. This is cronyism at its "finest", i.e. most egregious.

👍 ... and let all those ESG companies with millions in accounts at SVB crash and burn now instead of
a year from now after they raise another $50 million from innocent investors (via typical lying by
Wall St. firms who profit only by lying.) None of them should be bailed out by Americans.

Government is ALWAYS the cause of inflation. A stable currency should be the hallmark of any governmental policy.

They don't typically inspect unless there are allegations of fraud, etc. From what I read in another article, this was a massive failure by their risk management department who was led by a woman who wasn't interested in anything BUT ESG - and therefore many of those loans defaulted and plunged the bank into problems. This was self-inflicted and we should NOT be bailing them out. Let the officers of the bank be criminally and civilly prosecuted for fraud and dereliction of duty.

Nero fiddles while Rome catches on fire...

I look forward to the demise of the evil empire.
Unfortunately, they are still in control two years after they should have been executed for treason.
I have zero confidence that the GOP will assist in returning liberty to the people.

Perhaps , but this “Bank” is where the Tech oligarchs put their money. It is the most “Woke” bank on the planet. The SVB also had close ties to Epstien, hmmm. 98% of depositors had over the $250,000 FDIC insured amount. The bank run reportedly was started by Peter Theil a venture capitalist and staunch supporter of President Donald J Trump. This bank was deeply entrenched in China. The sovereign trio of Trump Putin and Xi are who Soros has called out and is the most afraid of. Rightly so because the scumbags are systematically being destroyed. ( They never thought she would lose)
We (MAGA) are at war with the SLGGPB cabal.
They have enslaved the world with their debt system. The Banks are one of their main weapons .You can’t defeat them without destroying the system of systems. Their system is cracking and we still have lots of ammo. Stay tuned. BTW side note Signature Bank canceled Trumps account with them because of J6 false flag. They stepped into Trumps quicksand and that does not go well for those that do.

You may be on to something here, FFA. This isn't going to end well for us serfs.

Here in NY the neo communists and RINO sycophants are doing everything possible to make ammo more expensive and restrict its distribution.

Yes , I don’t pretend to know the details of the compensation for SVB conmen , but the optics are not favorable. This bank is one of many that are teetering on the edge of failure.
This system of systems that the Satanic Luciferian Genocidal Peedo Globalist banking Cabal has been using it to enslave all in their debt and servitude is under greater pressure than ever in history.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch what happens to all the Eurodollars as the BRICS alternative to the petrodollar , picks up other countries.
Mexico applied in 2023.
Membership expansion proposals
Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, the UAE, Venezuela and Zimbabwe have expressed interest in membership of BRICS .
With the Petrodollar All countries needed to settle oil purchases in dollars hence $61 trillion dollars that have been overseas held in reserves never to return home before .Now That money May come back to the US as Pennies.

It's great if you're the Big Guy getting his 10%.

Or perhaps this is what they do to frighten the useful idiots to accept digital currency when their banks fail?

Was it end of year bonuses?
That would have been a normal time to do so in a financial institution,
but with the bank in difficulty, management should have been let go instead.
Under the 'woke' standard, even the failures get bonuses, I suppose.

Many, many here on this board have been aware and very critical of the FED and this administrations economic policies.
But….We have a much much larger crisis looming. This liquidity problem stemmed from the rapid increase in interest rates by the FED in response to the high inflation. Those hikes in rates deflated the value of the banks treasury bonds. Bonds trade inversely to interest rates. We very well maybe witnessing just the start of a cascading collapse of the Deep States system of systems. More on that later.
Specific to the go woke go broke theme discussed by Mr. Markus . The head of the banks Risk management and risk model was working very hard on the Gay Pride parade according to her in the last month. Her Quailfications apprear to be that she’s not white and she likes to have sex with women or perhaps men that pretend to be a woman and to spread awareness of lived Queer experiences. What ever the FuQ that means.

Reports are that the Management just paid out bonuses prior to the collapse.

95% of the remaining deposits at SBV were not government FDIC insured ...
until the fed decided to to insure them (for those with more than $250,000
in accounts at SBV) yesterday.

The rats that bailed (selling their stock prior to the collapse,
that is, insider trading) were the company executives.

The rats bailed out of that sinking ship weeks ago.
Left us working class slobs to pick up the tab. Again.

After positioning myself to be insulated, and/or at least not suffer as much as the rest of the herd, my response chart any more reads something like this:
Can I do anything about it?
No
Is it going to hurt me directly?
Possibly
Can I seek alternatives?
Usually
Can I find entertainment and point and laugh?
Most definitely!
So when I see idiocratic headlines like bank collapses the voice of Mary Poppins starts singing in my head.
Just a Spoonful of Sugar helps the medicine go down..
In the most delightful way.

... and hoping that means we don't have enough to buy more ammo.
