Hear me out: it's possible for a badly run bank to fail because it was badly run without proving anyone's thesis on the left or the right. It was a very badly run bank and it's dead now.

@seldo ah but how could I miss an opportunity to point out that I'm always right?

@seldo hear me out: safeguards have existed to ensure sound banking practices that reduce customer risk.If a lettuce company had a massive E. coli outbreak after FDA testing was cancelled, you’d want that testing back right? Yes that company should fail, but it shouldn’t put people at risk while failing. Especially if that risk is invisible to the customer.

@seldo I'm still stuck on the combo of:1. certain VC funding being contingent upon a deposit at SVB,2. beyond the FDIC insured amounts (?!),3. with a whisper network between most of those customers,4. on which the folks who set the contingency demand told said customers to pull out their funds in a hurryMaaaybe I'm not understanding those points correctly, but that certainly seems like taking Chekov's gun off the wall to shoot one's own foot off?
