In 2017 the FDIC created a pool of banking veterans who would step up to help in the event of another financial crisis. For years, no one needed them. That changed last month when Tim Mayopoulos and Greg Carmichael were called in to run Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank while the FDIC tried to stabilize a banking crisis.

1/2 Last night, I watched this talk: Understanding Recent Bank Failures with Dr. Bill Black
IMO, it was very good, but very technical. I thought he made a lot of good points. Do either of you know of an article for non-academics that covers the points he makes, @DeanBaker13 @ryanlcooper ?
I think he does a good job of describing how and why our bank regulatory regime leads to failures. A key point to me is that the system...
First Citizens Bank, the buyer of Silicon Valley Bank's assets, is run by a billionaire North Carolina family that's bought over 20 failed banks since 2008, per BI.
Using your family's slave labor tobacco fortune to purchase failed banks across the nation is how stolen labor from hundreds of years ago affects wealth and the economy today.
It's redlining as monetary policy.

"It turns out the bank that failed this month had quietly operated without a chief risk officer for much of the past year... SVB’s alarming exposure to rising interest rates wasn’t hard to see coming and should have been easy to hedge against... risk doesn’t have to be excessive or exotic to be existential."
"Tech’s favorite bank failed because its risk management did first."
