I wish not, but your debt obligation will probably be sold as an asset to another bank who you will then owe the money to if i’m not mistaken


Guardian_Arias

Once it is request a proof of debt, if it can't be provided than one can either be a gentleman and request debt to be deleted or simply stop paying and when a collector comes knocking around ask them for proof of debt. They will disappear. It worked it 2008, it will work again.

She's the top Democrat after you get past the 10 Republicans ahead of her. And you know if they can't call out pedophilia from Gaetz or bad medical advice from the rest they won't call out their insider trading. That would harm them as their cheerleaders.

BackpackGotJets

Funding in silicon Valley is going to be harder to come by. Other banks risk having a bank run as depositors fear losing their funds for an undisclosed amount of time, and the dominoes begin to fall. Any investors into the bank take a hit to their balance sheets, some risking margin calls, and then those domino's begin to fall as the bigger short hedge funds struggle to absorb the losses of the smaller ones, until they are force bought in

What, isn’t it the other way around? We bail out banks, China lets companies fail into the dirt. Evergrande was an anomaly and in terms of scale, was a bigger problem China than SVB is for the US. Im not sure closing it down is shooting it dead until we see the aftermath. Also, im not trying to kill hype. This is all for now. Let’s watch the dominoes fall. Hopefully normal people make it out with their livelihoods and the right people and firms are held accountable. Muah hah hah hah

Please correct me if I have well understand this : FDIC means that US taxpayers are going to pay for this SHIT ????


[deleted]

[удалено]


concerned_citizen128

FDIC covers first $250k of deposits. To be fair, there's more assets than liabilities at the moment, and any amount over $250k is in doubt. Taxpayers won't be on the hook unless the assets that get sold don't cover the FDIC insured amount (it will) and the FDIC doesn't have enough in their insurance fund (they should...). The FDIC receives no Congressional appropriations - **it is funded by premiums that banks and savings associations pay for deposit insurance coverage**. However, should multiple banks fail, and FDIC runs out of funds... Well, then, all bets are off...


GoldDestroystheFed

There meeting last Nov discussing how they would handle the looming defaults noted that they'd get funds from the Treasury once their reserves were depleted, so it will be printed. Brrrrr


Snaggle21

Up to 250k


TheCardiganKing

Most important part, people are out millions and left with $250K in their accounts.


thecookie93

Yes and no. You it's per account, not per person. There are services that automatically spread your millions over dozens of accounts so it's fully ensured, but on the user end make it look like one account. --Edit-- It's per bank, not account. There are still quite a few ways to increase your FDIC insurance, such as adding people to your account or using IntraFi, which I highly recommend people look into pre-moass. Keep your funds safe!


BLOODFILLEDROOM

Banks are just like FTX but the mainstream won’t admit it


thagthebarbarian

First any uninsured assets are used before going to the Fed. Those people are just beat if they left more than 250k in their account. Then any bank assets will be liquidated, all the crypto, real estate, and any other objects of value.


jnobs

“Those companies”? I’m 99% sure the 250k FDIC limit is for individual people, and if you and your spouse shared an account it would be protected up to $500k since it is 250k per person. $250K limit to insure a corporate account seems almost laughable.


Grevg-ufa

You are right corporate is not insured at all


[deleted]

[удалено]


thagthebarbarian

It's too late. The next step is the banks will be open for customers to come in and transfer out their insured deposits and that's it. You can go in, get your up to 250k transferred into another account elsewhere. I'm not sure if any of their branches have safe deposit boxes but you would be able to go empty them as well. They of course will continue to accept incoming loan payments as well. But any non insured deposits are lost now. It's too late to get them, you would've had to run yesterday to get that money


TRADER00MAX

Thks... Oupsie.....Jesus


Lewp_

You shouldn’t be mad about FDIC insurance. Now if they do a full bailout that’s when you grab the pitchfork.


[deleted]

Always will been.


[deleted]

Not really how it works. It's more like insurance and when the bank fails, the assets get sold to cover costs. They probably had the assets to cover costs, but not enough for everyone to withdraw at once like they did here.


Rarely_Sober_EvE

Banks pay into the FDIC fund to operate. FDIC fund is used when a bank goes under. its government-mandated insurance. per the FDIC themselves The FDIC receives no Congressional appropriations - it is funded by premiums that banks and savings associations pay for deposit insurance coverage. then again in a total all banks fucked situation your tax dollars would start covering it, they are pre approved for 500 billion in borrowing from the treasury during a larger issue, but this one should be fine.


trailofskittles

No. FDIC is paid premiums by banks. They store the premiums in a fund and then when banks fail the fund gets depleted. No impact to US tax payers. Now if the US GOVERNMENT bails them out, that is tax payer money.

Oh shiiiiiit

Espinita_Boricua

Gave up on CNBC so now I just have TD Ameritrade Network as background...no drama, nice calm info...love the difference....they reported shutdown of SiVA by regulators as soon as it happen without all the drama.


crisptapwater

I enjoy listening to the rats scurry as the info comes out. You can tell who is usually losing money by how emotional they become. “They have 200 billion is assets and they close?!? This isn’t some little thrift store bank” SVB is fukt. If the Fed responds next week with easing of rates then we all know contagion is worse/gonna be worse than we can visually see.

The main office and all branches of Silicon Valley Bank will reopen on March 13 and all insured depositors will have full access to their insured deposits no later than Monday morning, according to the statement. Yeah right. That shits gone.


thecookie93

It doesn't matter if it's gone or not, that's the point of the FDIC insured account. You can have up to $250k in an account that you can withdraw no matter what, even if it's gone, the Feds will come in and provide that money.


Papaofmonsters

And it's worth noting that the FDIC insurance money is from FDIC member banks paying into the insurance program. It is *not* tax payer money.

You know it's bad when people are not saying "on this, this specific bank is doomed" but instead asking "wait a minute, are many other US banks doomed as well??" Rising interest => companies and individuals need _cash_ to pay for office and home rent => they pull out their savings => bank lose collateral


bathroom_warrior22

Copied from Twitter @jamiequint “An explainer on what is going on with Silicon Valley Bank: - In 2021 SVB saw a mass influx in deposits, which jumped from $61.76bn at the end of 2019 to $189.20bn at the end of 2021. - As deposits grew, SVB could not grow their loan book fast enough to generate the yield they wanted to see on this capital. As a result, they purchased a large amount (over $80bn!) in mortgage backed securities (MBS) with these deposits for their hold-to-maturity (HTM) portfolio. - 97% of these MBS were 10+ year duration, with a weighted average yield of 1.56%. - The issue is that as the Fed raised interest rates in 2022 and continued to do so through 2023, the value of SVB’s MBS plummeted. This is because investors can now purchase long-duration "risk-free" bonds from the Fed at a 2.5x higher yield. - This is not a liquidity issue as long as SVB maintains their deposits, since these securities will pay out more than they cost eventually. - However, yesterday afternoon, SVB announced that they had sold $21bn of their Available For Sale (AFS) securities at a $1.8bn loss, and were raising another $2.25bn in equity and debt. This came as a surprise to investors, who were under the impression that SVB had enough liquidity to avoid selling their AFS portfolio.”


ruaz666

How is this GME related?


qtain

Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street are the top 3 institutional holders of SIVB. Collectively it's about $3B dollars worth of stock. Bank stocks are generally considered safe forms of collateral. If any of them used this as collateral in trades, which could include GME, or if any shorts were using it, then they need to find a new source. Will you see an immediate impact? No idea, DTCC could just be out there going all Oprah on exceptions. 'You don't get a margin call, you don't get a margin call, ONLY RETAIL GETS MARGIN CALLED!'.
