poor me I'm just a lil smol bean executive who didn't understand why the other banks didn't take the same risks and I didn't want to ask either.


Other banks did take similar risks. Why do you think the fed setup a facility large enough to serve the entire country to prop them up?

The only risk is trying operate in a broken banking system.


$640B with of other banks did this too.

Case in point: First Republic Bank needed a $70B loan this morning to not go the way of SVB.
