The people who lost money in SVB are all going around trying to start another bank run and doing massive fear mongering to coerce out a bailout for their own dumb asses.
BULLSHIT. No small tribe of people should have the right to stick a gun to the head of the government and demand their gambling debts get paid for them. These people wanted to gamble on the most high credit risk stocks (early stage startups) while double dipping and betting the same dollars simultaneously on low credit risk long-duration bonds and expect the public to absorb all the risk and bail them out if the whole thing went tits up as it did.

Oy vey 85 cents on the dollar? How can I possibly offer 70 cents on the dollar my longnosed friend? The secondary market has already set a price of 60 cents on the dollar. Do you really think we could bail you out for 55 cents on the dollar? Even at our best effort we couldnβt afford 45 cents on the dollar. Help! Police!!! A madman is trying to rob me with his offer to sell for 30 cents on the dollar.

Everyone pushing for bank runs are knowingly or unknowingly part of a Thiel op.
Thiel has been writing massive amounts of high interest debt at short durations and is trying to crush buyers of long term low interest debt.
SVB held tons of long-term low interest debt. Bond prices and interest rates affect each other inversely. When bonds sell off, interest rates rise.
Thiel intentionally is crashing weak tech banks to then turn around and be the shylock who lends out high interest short term loans to cover the funds for these companies while their bank accounts are in FDIC receivership.

Taking out debt used to be a mark of shame in the startup world. Investors like Peter Thiel are helping make it cool.
Startups know they'll have a harder time raising venture capital next year. Venture debt could make companies focus more on their fundamentals.

NEW - Collapsed Silicon Valley Bank was in deep with Chinese banks and companies. SVB was especially popular among Chinese biotech groups that operated between the US and China, according to the Financial Times.

if you took the vax and also woke up today thinking there was going to be a run on all American banks please go right back to Reddit and never return

Silicon Valley Bank should have simply been allowed to fail, and at any rate the government negotiated a shit deal. The government negotiators went in with an objective of not sticking taxpayers with a bill and nothing else. BETA! They let some broke gamblers sit across the table and walk all over them bluffing all-in with nothing.
There are two very important things when evaluating a deal in finance: COST and RISK. The banks are all eating a tax to cover the COST of the SVB blowup, but the continual RISK which lead to it is now being absorbed by the taxpayer. Taxpayers are now absorbing $25 billion in risk from banks to prevent another SVB and getting nothing in return.
Meanwhile the broke frauds who shilled the meme of widespread bank runs on Twitter like David Sacks, Jason Calacanis, and various Peter Thiel associated tools are congratulating themselves and patting each other on the bank like they saved America, when they just saved each others asses and offloaded a lot of risk onto America.
The American economy benefits nothing either. 95% of the companies "saved" here won't even exist in 18 months by design because their investors will pull the plug on funding them so all of those jobs will disappear and the workers will be recycled into something else regardless. A majority of the upside of the 5% who make it through will be absorbed by founder stock in tax free retirement accounts so also contributing nothing to the economy.
At minimum, government negotiators had a wonderful opportunity to play hardball and passed it over because they're paid off. The government should have sat down with all the VCs with SVB accounts and said we'll backstop the deposits for the portfolio companies but to backstop the accounts for the VC funds we need to take 1% of inflows and 10% of profits for the next 10 years. VCs traditionally charge 2% on inflows and 20% on profits as their business model. Force them to take a 50% paycut on their current and future funds for the next decade and put the tax towards jobs creating infrastructure projects outside of Silicon Valley.
Or, allow them to decline the 50% cut, but their account gets dropped to the $250k limit. See how many take it.

A major run up to the SVB failure is that you had the self-titled most brilliant investors in the valley all going around telling everyone and telling their companies to keep their money with SVB.
Reputational value and reputational risk is a real thing as well and essentially the taxpayer has also freely restored this for everyone who encouraged people to put billions of dollars in a failing bank. Even giving some the opportunity to paint themselves as heroes.

"I remember getting a call from the bank manager telling me they were not sure they would be able to contain the losses. And I said you know, there's been such a tremendous loss of money, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it. So we made the decision to pull and we watched the bank collapse."
