They will be bailed out.
Maybe - after all, it was a tech sector bank in the deep blue state of CA. It was reported on Fox Business that 94% of the money invested there was uninsured by the FDIC (over the $250K limit). There could be a lot of resulting bankruptcies if that money goes up in smoke.

Regarding the economy in general and Biden crowing about the jobs he's supposedly created in the past two years - it's malarkey. A large percentage of those jobs are reinstated jobs where people were called back to work after the covid shutdown. Thanks to his govt spending and giveaway programs, inflation increases are headed toward Jimmy Carter levels.

Food 10.1%
Energy 8.7%
Energy Svc 15.6%
Trans Svc 14.6%
All Less F&E 5.6%

Meanwhile personal savings levels are at historic lows, credit card balances are at record highs, and the Fed is raising interest rates like crazy.

That bank has plenty of assets, most people will get the majority of their money back…… eventually. Some of these companies that did business with them may be scrambling to make payroll right now.

If they keep raising interest rates it will destroy the banks. If they don’t, it will slowly destroy the people. Because higher inflation will eventually do it. Catch 22…

A lot of SVB assets were tied up in long term Treasury bonds. When interest rates started rising, their value was severely reduced. Very poor management resulted in failure. Now Biden has effectively lifted the $250K insurance cap for SVB depositors. They'll be paid by FDIC funds meant to cover other Bank failures. Guess who pays that tab at the end of the day?

We shouldn’t be lifting the 250k cap. People sign up for this when they open a savings account. Biden throwing a wrench in the system will now make even the savings under the cap more tenuous.

Wait, you think Trump would have done anything different? Actually he would have, would have announced sooner that the government would have paid off his fellow rich people.....

It's probably not a coincidence that Biden and the feds gave special treatment to SVB depositors. They were a "special" bank in deep blue California that did all the right things for liberal causes, including donating over $73M to BLM groups. That's a lot of money for a bank to waste on social justice nonsense.

If that isn't criminal abuse of depositor and shareholder monies it should be.
