President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

How does the FDIC work? Is it just law that says the bank must keep minimal reserves of $250K per account, or is out something more nefarious where Gov guarantees the money?
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. I believe it’s funded by the banks into the fed plan thus ultimately the consumer pays like everything else.

Remember then whole savings and loan debacle with the Butcher family? Juniors S&L business wasn’t FDIC backed.

So it is the FDIC withholding $250K per depositor in a gov depository, but actual customer bank deposits?

Yes I remember Butcher. He was about to build the tallest building on Nooga when that occurred.

No idea of the actual mechanics. The promise from government to individual depositors is they will be made 100% whole in deposits up to $250k in the event that the FDIC insured institution fails as SVB just did.

I know the acronym and the gist of it..Just wanted to know the mechanics. I will do some digging.

Dude..it is fairly difficult to tell, went to the .gov, Forbes, etc,
One hit said it is insurance premiums paid by the bank to the Feds..which is scary AF. Like the gov is sitting on a bunch of cash

BREAKING: Before the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, executives sold a lot of their shares.

Gregory Becker, CEO, sold 11% on Feb 27, 2023.
Michael Zucker, General Counsel, 19% on Feb 5.
Daniel Beck, CFO, sold 32% on Feb 27.
Michelle Draper, CMO, sold 25% on Feb 1.

Unusual.
The CFO sold 1/3 of his stake…

‘Dominoes falling’ - Financial crisis warning as US bank crash spreads

"Markets in London, Shanghai, Frankfurt and Tokyo all fell, with European stocks Friday’s biggest losers, said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG.

UK banks were swept up in the turmoil, too, with HSBC, Barclays and Standard Chartered all falling around five percent on Friday and Lloyds down four percent.

Molten Ventures, a London-listed venture capital fund that invests in global banking app Revolut and has a £150million debt facility with SVB, fell 18.5 percent on Friday morning.

Beauchamp reckons Monday will be brutal. “It certainly isn’t wise to stand in the way of the avalanche of selling, which looks unlikely to end soon.

Why would FRB in California be exposed to fallout from SVB?

Were they playing the same reindeer games?
One reason maybe the trading of First Republic's stocks were halted for violatility Friday and First Republic's stock had fallen by as much as 50%.

Also, "Tech and start-up focused banks, as well as regional banks, could face serious “contagion” risk following the collapse of SVB as well, Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report, told CNBC late Thursday."

"Regional banks are facing pressure from SVB’s blow-up for two main reasons. First, venture capitalists and start-ups that rely on these banks are worried. CNBC reported Friday that one venture capitalist said it was like someone shouted “fire in a crowded theater where there is no fire,” leading many businesses and tech investors to ask for their money back from banks just to be safe.

There is already some evidence of contagion to regional banks as a result of this fear. Trading in multiple regional banks stocks including PacWest Bancorp, Western Alliance Bancorp, and First Republic Bank was halted Friday amid aggressive selling from investors.
"

"Aside from potential direct contagion from SBV’s collapse, some of the bigger market forces that hurt the bank are also affecting other lenders, sparking concerns over some regional banks’ ability to cover losses related to their bond holdings in a rising rate environment. Many U.S. banks invested in long-duration Treasuries during the pandemic when consumers pumped money into savings accounts like never before. The problem is that the value of these bonds has dropped dramatically with the Fed raising interest rates over the past year, leading U.S. lenders to hold $620 billion in unrealized losses in their portfolios."

SVB’s collapse could lead to ‘contagion’ among regional banks—but experts say it’s not a systemic risk to the entire financial system

Yeah… of all the company officers running to the exit door with cash the CFO leading the charge is a bad look. I think the Feds have found their bitch to fry

They’re not going after any of the officers of that bank. They played for the administrations team.
