PLEASE MAKE A THREAD FOR NATIONAL DEBT DEBATE OR DISCUSSION.
Oh yea I can see the banks getting hit extra hard if things are not handled right. But just don't see how we can end back up at a 1930 infliction point where everyone cannot get money out of the bank virtually nationwide.I could definitely see this getting out of hand.
Top executives at Silicon Valley Bank sold stock totaling several million dollars less than two weeks before the company became the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, according to federal disclosures obtained by
@ABC News.
THESE are the guys, from SVB, First Republic. et al, that should be perp walked.Top executives at embattled lender First Republic Bank reaped a combined haul of nearly $12 million by dumping stock just before chaos unfolded in the banking sector – including sales that occurred as recently as this month.
The stock sales are drawing scrutiny as the nation’s largest banks threw a whopping $30 billion lifeline to prevent First Republic’s collapse following a mass exodus of depositors this week.
As of Friday, the bank’s stock has plunged nearly 80% since February.
In total, company executives have earned about $11.8 million in sales this year and sold stock at prices averaging just under $130 each. The stock is currently trading for less than $23 per share
“We need accountability for our regulators who clearly fell down on the job,”
@SenWarren tells @margbrennan
on the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, adding that it “starts with” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who she says “was a dangerous man to have in this position.”
The Fed just reported that U.S. banks borrowed $475 billion last week as the banking crisis continued.
Meanwhile, over $500 billion has been withdrawn from small banks in the TWO WEEKS since SVB collapsed.
We did some research and the numbers are alarming (a short thread):
Deposits at small U.S. banks dropped by a record amount following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10, data released on Friday by the Federal Reserve showed.
Deposits at small banks fell $119 billion to $5.46 trillion in the week ended March 15. That was more than twice the previous record drop and the biggest decline as a percent of overall deposits since the week ended March 16, 2007.
Deposit drain from smaller banks into financial giants like JPMorgan Chase has slowed, sources say
I love this disconnect![]()

Uncertainty caused by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank this month triggered outflows and plunging share prices at peers including First Republic and PacWest.www.cnbc.com
Well smaller banks won't get bailed out. But a big one will that millions of people depend on for paychecks and such will.I love this disconnect
SVB one of larger banks in the country collapses.
Zoo herd mentality “depositors of smaller banks race to move funds from smaller banks to larger banks like like wells and chase. Because of course “larger” are obviously safer?
Yeah that was a give and provides yet another reason why the system is broke.Well smaller banks won't get bailed out. But a big one will that millions of people depend on for paychecks and such.
Thankfully, my mattress isn’t.big to fail. And too big to bail.
Change the reserve amounts they must maintain is a start.What needs to happen is better government intervention in how the banking system is regulated and ran. How banks manage themselves should be almost entirely rewritten, enitely new laws, or find ways to regulate them entirely no more funny business. Think its time to put a stop to poor bank management and only way to do that is to take their freedom away to cause such disasters and be ENTIRLY regulated.
(NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY OR FREE MARKET WHICH IS ENTIRLY DIFFERENT THEN BANKING REGULATION.)
Exactly!!“Too big to fail”. Or “too small to care”
No one puts a gun to your head and makes you deposit funds anywhere. Due diligence and multiple accounts in multiple banks, CU etc.Yes banking institutions should have zero rights to fuck millions of people out of money and walk away from it with no consequences. It's time to take their freedoms away and be regulated to the max. No more funny business. No more crookedness.
Time to make the baking system more honest and trustworthy and only way where going to do that is to take over the banks entirly and regulate everything they do top to bottom.
