Predictably, #SVB has been sued for fraud by the shareholders. This banking crisis is handled differently from the 2007 one: there’s no bailout for the shareholders or execs, just guarantees to the depositors. Sounds more fair to me!https://www.reuters.com/legal/silicon-valley-bank-parent-ceo-cfo-are-sued-by-shareholder-fraud-2023-03-13/

@alasaarela Shareholders are meant to hold the execs to account surely.

@alasaarela HSBC has bailed out the UK arm of SVB, not sure if that is a good or bad thing but they are putting the interests of the British businesses first doing that.

@alasaarela The whole silicon valley bubble needs to burst, regardless of the cost, that way we can start fresh perhaps.

@zleap Rigged systems need to be dismantled, but generally, availability of venture capital is good for innovation and progress, and is net positive for the society.
