    Anyone else following this? FDIC just took receivership of the bank. Have several friends that work there and are all scared shitless.

    My understanding, which is iffy at best is they tried to run it like a tech start up. Very fake it til you make it.

    Their holdings fell behind what they're legally required to have on hand. The rising interest rates kind of fucked them and they were going to sell securities to get back in the green. Started a run by their depositors ect.

    They invested a bunch in MBS that had a yield of like 1.95%. The price of those assets cratered over the last few months of rate increases as the MBS yield is 2.5x that, at the moment.

    They took massive loses from those securities decreasing. Not sure if it is a "tech" thing or just too much exposure in 1 asset class

    A couple of my tech buddies that are way smarter than me are definitely concerned, like possibly lots of tech companies may not be able to make payroll because of this. I've no idea how the FDIC works though, just that they're supposed to only guarantee $250,000 for each account right?

    This was a giant component.

    it was run like a real bank, not like a tech startup AT ALL.

    the ceo fucked this company badly by first announcing a realized loss ($3B i think) on prior low interest rate "safe" investments" - the MBS ones you describe - then announcing they need to raise $2.5B for liquidity purposes. then just a ton of exposure to VC-backed companies which would never take risk on a bank after a spook like that and a moody's downgrade and we saw a modern day run on a bank that was actually perfectly solvent from a depositor to asset perspective.

    As of 12/31 they still had more assets than deposits but not sure where that stands now. hopefully liquidation leads to everyone getting their non-insured deposits back but it's going to fuck payroll for a lot of companies depending on how long the liquidation takes.

    its not just tech bros... it's going to be far broader. you had many regional banks have their stocks halted today. PacWest, First Republic, etc... any bank runs on those and this is going to be a big problem for companies to make payroll
