    Is vivek this dumb? There's a cap in the case the bank has bad assets that can't be liquidated to cover the deposits. This situation is different as the bank has valuable assets which the Treasury can sell.

    I don't think you understood what his tweet was about.

    The insured amount is 250k (capped). What he was saying is, "why even have a cap if you are de facto guaranteeing it all anyway".

    Because it's NOT guaranteed over 250k. The ONLY reason why the deposits are covered this time was because a larger bank bought out the assets and covered the uninsured deposits ? No taxpayer money is going to fund the deposits?

    The bank is going bankrupt and all shareholders are going broke.

    @AroundTheWorld the fund that's covering the deposits are actually from bank fees

    Pretty hilarious to see these billionaires arguing with each other on Twitter. I guess they aren't that different from us D&D folks lol.

    We won't really know exactly how it plays out before tomorrow.

    But the Feds tried to tell everyone to

    by saying that deposits will be guaranteed.

    How exactly that will be achieved...

    You seem to have more experience with that than most people.

    Explain it to us like you understand it. In other words, as if everyone were five years old. Thanks.

    Social media at it again. Sometimes people rush to judgment before all the facts are known. The joint statement has made it clear that taxpayers will not bear the costs, so any suggestion otherwise is incorrect.

    The markets should remain stable, and we can expect to receive further details tomorrow.

    By the way, we had most of our money with SVB.

    I had it transfered out when the first news broke that they were having issues.

    Would have looked even more like the genius that I am had this gone further down south.

    Nice...Curious why svb was a destination for startups. Was it higher yields or something?

    They marketed themselves quite intensely to startups/scaleups, offering better rates, hosting industry events, dinners, etc. I was just invited to something last week.
