      This isn’t about shareholders being wiped out. It’s about account holders of what they thought were bank accounts losing everything because their accounts were powered on the back end by a company they’d never heard of or directly dealt with.

      Yeah, it’s almost weird that it’s news.

      Imagine if they made news after a big fight about people who gambled and lost.

      Imo the bigger news is the financial illiteracy of the average person.

        Damn funny how this bravado is never around for the svb failed… The rich got bailed and normies said it was good.

        Normies get ducked here and other normies come out in droves to dunk on them.

        Microcosm of USian culture haha

      If you see this as investment, then consider that investors were lied to (the startups claimed to have FDIC coverage) and didn’t have accurate information to assess the risk.
