Not that this is news, but we are no longer a country of laws. The law on the books says $250k. We just ignored it. And we passed the cost along to other banks, who did nothing wrong, negatively impacting those shareholders.

"Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law."

The signature bank thing... is this just an excuse to neuter crypto holdings?

It's probably an excuse for NY regulators to seize a bank run by people that haven't bribed the right people in NY.

Sure seems like it because its completely laughable/disingenuous to pretend that now.. suddenly... and out of nowhere crypto holdings are risky...

As if they haven't always been

Nope. I bet there isnt a single one. Why? Everyone wins. Futures are flying because the Fed signaled laws dont matter and the odds of rate hikes just plummeted. I would hate to be a bear come the open tomorrow. The couple guys here holding SQQQ are in for a really bad day.

Remember, the rich and connected are the ones with exposure. The rich and connected never lose. Thats how the game is played.

That's odd pretty sure the twitter sages told me opra lost all her money, and now not a single depositor loses even a penny? If twitterverse was wrong about this really makes you wonder what else might be bullshit. At least all the food plants are burnt down, and tractor supply feed is still keeping chickens sterile.

C'mon dude. Everyone knows Oprah called her friends Barack and Mike and they called Joe and told him to cover her losses. Do you not Twitter?

I sure hope smart people aren't actually pretending there is no chance of this being a farther reaching systemic problem... like they did 15 years ago.

It's fine to reserve judgment based on surface level information. But uh... fuck you if you still believe this entire financial system isn't rigged and fucked by greed and it totally can't ever happen again.

It almost certainly is a sign of both systemic problems and poor management at this bank. That said, properly managed this shouldn’t cause anything too bad, but if you have concerns about the people in charge properly managing this in light of how well the fed has preformed recently, I’d say you have some merit in that concern.

I think the dollar is ultimately going to decline, but we still have europe to trash for a time and a lot of wealth to burn. A sudden collapse of the financial system in the short term just seems terribly unlikely.

The reason your dollars are worth a stable amount of money is because the system is 'rigged', and by rigged I mostly mean regulated and insured, but also rigged.


This is not 2008, these banks aren't all leveraged to hell and back, because regulations.

Sure they aren't. Have you paid attention to everything Wells Fargo had done since 2008? Good grief Charlie Brown.

Bankers are actual criminals who never pay for their crimes.

Will this be some mega economic failure? Nah probably not, but is there other shit going on behind the scenes ripe for a meltdown? Almost definitely. It's just a matter of when.

By the way what bullshit LSD induced coma do you live in trying to tell me my dollar is stable? Have you been to a fucking grocery store over the past year and a half?

Tomorrow is definitely gonna be some madness at svib. I suspect the fdic will have some trouble making good on everyone having access to everything when a 100b in withdrawals come a knocking.
