These tech companies needed $ and borrowed from a bank that lends $ to tech companies and startups.
But the agreement with this bank is that whatever cash you bring in/revenue, you gotta put that shyt in THEIR bank.
They’ve been doing this for 40 years.
Now they’re lending out $ all willy nilly and the economy is trash. The bank needs to even out its balance sheet — show that they have the $ or assets to even be in fukkin business as a bank. And this bank needed/needs 2 fukkin billion and they ain’t got it
So the feds have officially crowned them as

status. News of that is tanking their stock to a point where trading on it has been halted because it impacts the rest of the market — and folks are nervous. Who knows what other banks are flabby.
Now this bank still has some cash on hand and these same tech firms that have their savings there want their damn money by Monday like 50 Cent LOL. And the bank has one location in NY so some of these tech bros pulled up to get their $ because let’s just say everybody’s $ ain’t in there. So pull up first and get your $ before the shytshow really starts.
Short story short is SVB is looking for a life line and the big boys in banking are just watching like

and waiting to see what emerges since that stock is at crack prices.
