President Biden says they will find and hold accountable those responsible for the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Ha ha. It’s Joe Biden because the whole disaster is a function of Government policy.
Silicon Valley Bank went bust because the U.S. forced banks to buy their debt as Tier 1 capital and then debased it. Regulation has forced industries to concentrate their banking and generate banks with undiversified client portfolios by draconian AML/KYC/risk modelling and what do you know, that’s bad for bank solvency. Put the two together and you have a doyen bank, with godlike customer base of lauded VC with their miracle unicorn investee companies, the golden children of the American economy, and you end up with a 5-star disaster.
