How Silicon Valley Bank & Signature Bank Weakened Regulations That Could Have Prevented Collapse
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
- The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank are the largest bank failures since the 2008 financial crisis, which prompted lawmakers to pass legislation to increase regulations on banks and other financial institutions. But during the Trump administration, a number of Democrats joined Republicans in Congress to weaken laws including Dodd-Frank, the landmark regulatory reform passed in the wake of the crisis. Executives from Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were among those who successfully lobbied to weaken rules that may have prevented their collapse. The fallout from the bank failures now threatens to spread to other financial institutions, and the Biden administration has taken extraordinary steps to guarantee all deposits in the two failed banks and to shore up the rest of the sector in what many are criticizing as a bailout of rich bank customers. For more, we speak with _The Lever_'s David Sirota and banking law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, whom progressive groups at one point backed as the Biden administration's pick for comptroller of the currency, an influential regulator of banks.

What happened to SVB is really scary, and goes to show that no corporation, however big, is immune to collapse. I have always had a deep-seated mistrust for corporations. I have plans to pull out most of my money, but don't know what to do with $ 350k sitting idly. I'd like to go into the stock market, maybe. Any ideas?
All big corps are just a cohort of centra lised system working together, and any damage to one can have a dangerous ripple effect on every other one. I learned a long time ago to not trust corporations. Most of my money is in the sto ck market and my businesses. I keep only what I need to spend in my checking account.
Ironically, these are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The banks are in a big crisis. The market looks very shaky. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones. I have made over $ 280k in the last 4 months by investing through my FA.
Wow. I've heard similar success story from people who work with advisors. How do I get in touch with yours, please?
I happen to know Deborah sue Bohn She has been my fin coach since 2018, no major losses has been recorded. Totally recommend her too.
Deborah really seem to know her stuff. I found her website, read through her resume, educational background, qualifications and it was really impressive. She is a fiduciary who will act in my best interest. So, I booked a session with her
Recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.
Keep this in the back of your mind. There are good days and bad days. It's a zero-sum game, but keep this advice in mind: spend wisely, invest wisely, and diversify your holdings so that when one performs poorly, the others do as well. This can be accomplished by hiring a knowledgeable specialist whose platform provides a wide range of investment options. By doing so, you leave little room for regrets and may even gain more.
@Zahair O'Brian That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
@Zahair O'Brian Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find her handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
I feel bad for the lowest paid workers that may be affected, but not CEO's. A lot of them have created this abusive corporate pay structure where they are paid 300 to 400 percent the salary of entry level workers. Most add very little value. They posture and perform with speeches, meetings, and excessive travel to provide the appearance of working hard. It's a con.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival

This information is really helpful.
After a horrendous 2022, shell-stunned financial backers have misfortunes to recover and a lot to consider, as an expansion report and a pile of different information did close to nothing to change assumptions that the Central bank would probably keep climbing intrest rates regardless of whether the economy dials back, And that implies more red ink for portfolios for the principal quarter of year 2023. How might I benefit from the ongoing unstable market, I'm currently at a junction choosing if to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio Show less
Center around two key targets. In the first place, remain safeguarded by realizing when to offer stocks to cut misfortunes and catch benefits. Second, get ready to benefit when the market turns around.I suggest you look for the direction a representative or monetary consultant.

I'm really worried about the current bank crisis. If a bank as big as SVB could fail, I fear for a lot more. I know a friend who is running a high-growth startup, and was badly hit by the bank run. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to$250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.

SVB's collapse hasn't made anything better.

Systemic risk and too big to fail means the bank is too big to exist.
Thank you.
Silicon high tech thanks you for the free loans and mortgages
best way to avoid monopolies, now everyone will move from regional banks to the "too big to fail" with the precedence of deposits above the FDIC insured are also covered, green light to be greedy as you want!
@Pronto Matias Not quite. Depositors get better yields at the regional banks and now that they are taking no risk beyond $250k there is less incentive to move to a larger bank.
Not defending the bail out, but it will prevent the failure of some irresponsible regional banks by fully protecting their Depositors.
Such a fake fraud the government makes no money they produce nothing they will do anything to stay in power to spend the free money and cut and manipulate deals to help out there campaign donors and yes the silicon Valley high tech big democrat campaign donors thank you foe the free loans and mortgages
The current bank crisis has me deeply concerned. If a major bank like SVB can experience difficulties, it's reasonable to worry about the impact on other financial institutions. I'm aware of someone I know who operates a rapidly expanding startup, and they were severely impacted by the bank run. Consequently, I withdrew over $340k from my own account, recognizing that FDIC coverage is limited to $250,000 and a potential collapse could have far-reaching consequences. At this point, I'm considering investing in the stock market. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how I might proceed with this plan.
I have learned to not trust corporations. I was badly hit by the '08 financial crisis. Since 2019, I've just been focused on investing through a financial advisor, and it has been paying off, and I'm never going back to banks full time.

would suggest you thoroughly evaluate the companies you have invested in and their estimated future performance, as we may expect to see the market decline further. To minimize stress and improve efficiency, it might be wise to seek the assistance of an investment advisor to help restructure your portfolio and identify any underperforming investments to offset. This approach has been successful for me and has reduced my stress levels.

So what is the difference between a group of armed, masked bank robbers entering a bank and taking the cash, and a group of executives that drove a bank into bankruptcy but sold their shares of stock and took the cash before anyone detected the problem?
The difference is better lawyers and marketing
Simple as that: Bankrobber will be shot, or have life in prison, Bank CEO will have another job in a similar position. Nothing to see here ...
One ‘legal’, the other not!
Excellent comparison

I agree 100% with David Sirota. When are we, the people of this country are going to rise up & say enough to these politicians from both parties who only serve big industries?
Thats why US is after crypto and stable coins, because you can keep your money in own digital wallet same as be own bank. But they dont want their house of cards would collapse because i guess we need in their opinion a middle man to storage our money what are not even there 🤣
"Bank run" its a big word 🤣 if they use fraction reserve system and need to keep bearly 10% that means if 11% would come to pick up own cash they go under water 🤣🤣🤣
If bearly 11% customers claiming money is called "bank run" something is not right 🤣
But yea politicians will always bail them out with our money after all banks dont lobby ppl in power for no reason 🤣🤣🤣
@Leticia Cortez -- Of course, you & David Sirota are correct: Strong and extensive regulation by the federal government is so necessary in so many areas. The last forty years have rotted the nation. i wish the chumps of the electorate had seen the obvious when ronaldreagan said that government is the problem. The results of believing that thing have shown that ronaldreagan's paradigm is not the solution to our problems; trusting ronaldreagan and its paradigm IS the problem.

The #1 priority for everyone right now should be investing in non-government alternative income sources. specifically in light of the current global economic crisis. Stocks of all kinds and digital currencies continue to be desirable investments at the moment.
It is crucial to be aware of potential economic risks, just as it is when making a large financial choice. But you can keep yourself and your investments safe with smart preparation, time management, and financial assistance
High moving stocks do not always lead to significant profits. Managing risk in proportion to reward is what it is. Putting on the proper size and repeatedly twisting your edge can help you accomplish your goal. That holds true for both day trading and long-term investing.
if you decide to make any new purchases, decide your exit strategy first. Consider taking partial profits in order to quickly lock in some gains. I've been in constant communication with a financial analyst ever since I began working together. Today, it's very easy to invest in trending stocks, but the trick is knowing when to buy and sell. I've accumulated more than $550,000 in a little more than a year, and my advisor chooses when to enter and depart my portfolio.

Take the money from directors and the share holders of Silicon Valley bank to pay the depositors. That would ensure that they would be more circumspect with their bet/gambling with other peoples money in the future
You are making far too much sense, sir. That kind of thinking is not allowed.
Respectfully, not sure that's fair to the shareholders. They do not make "bets" necessarily irresponsibly. Sure, they want to make money, but they also buy shares to support a new effort of a startup, for example, or support what a company does or produces. Greed can be a factor, but not always. There are millions of Americans, retired folks for example, who have their life savings wrapped up in investments of various companies. If a company goes belly up then there goes their retirements. The case of a greedy CEO is a different matter altogether, beyond that what manner of corruption?
@@nancychace8619 but it is still an un-level playing field- favouring the banks over the depositors- I hear what you are saying- the rules need to change and banks properly monitored so it is illegal to make those bets
But those people are Obama officials and Hillary Clinton donors.

David Sirota might be the best reporter in the media. Holy cow.
Covering excess deposits is suicide for the whole banking system. The USD is over.
Any business owner who is not capable of managing well or around challenges faces the consequences (i.e.: Bankruptcy). Why banks always expect to have a hands-free approach when they are making money and bailout when they mess up? No more bailouts to anyone!
If a bank is allowed to fail, only the people suffer. The banksters don’t! They need to know that THEY will have to answer for their greed and chose to deliberately embark in risky business that anyone in accounting 101 would know was risky. So, they cannot plead ignorance. Even ignorance is not a defense. It is up to legislators to reign in these bankster’s greediness and make them serve time when they don’t do their due diligence managing other people’s money.
@@mariespi96 You speak some truth. In regards to "If a bank is allowed to fail, only the people suffer", again it is true but the same is applicable to any sector of the economy. Remember what happened to autoworkers when manufacturers moved production to China and Mexico? There was no assistance to them nor to any other working class. I am in favor of laws being enforced so responsibility and rights are respected. If the current laws are not adequate, they must be changed.
@@mariespi96 They do when they are put in prison like most European countries do. The people responsible went to prison in America they go on vacation.
@@mariespi96 It's more so the system than the banks. To be honest, I blame the system. The banks are only scheming to keep their business like many in this American system.
The depositors did not pay for this insurance, so this is a bailout. If I have no insurance and get into an accident nobody bails me out.

This entire conversation misses the crux of the issue. The crux of the issue is that the banks take our money and invest it to make money for themselves. Stop letting them do that. We need banks that act more like vaults where they just hold and protect our money. As long as this conversation exists within the frame of how risky they can be when gambling with our money, and how we insure against that risk, we’re having the wrong conversation.
That would cause and economic crises, why would you want that?

Lincoln & Kennedy both were moving fwd on a national public bank towards the ends of their lives.
The purpose of banking is to be the intermediaries between savers and borrowers. If you want a vaulting service, you can put your cash is a safe deposit box or a private vault. But you won't have check writing, ATM/debit and you'll have to visit your safe deposit box to get or leave your cash. Certainly you don't think banks will construct branch facilities, operate ATMs, clear your checks,
@@daveb6963 FWIW, part of your comment appears to be missing, but I’ll reply to what you said, and what I think you were going to say. What you describe is just what exists now. It’s not good enough and its not the only options that could theoretically exist. Your options shouldn’t be subject your money to bank shenanigans and having to live in a society with medieval financial technology. Very few people want to operate purely in cash or bringing sacks of gold and silver everywhere. No one wants to have to stop by the safe deposit box every time they go to the grocery store. We live in a digital society. The vast majority of transactions are digital and most people are doing a handful of transactions a day. The vast majority of banking in your midsize community could be done off a single computer. Your bank probably already outsources the manufacturing, shipping, activation, and fraud detection involved with your debit and credit cards. Your bank probably outsources most of the digital check processing (the front end part, where checks are scanned and the dollar amounts are verified). Even the physical checkbooks I don’t really use are outsourced and shipped right to my house. Every gas station in America has an ATM to get cash if you need it. If you want to buy Gold/Silver you can go online, pay digital money, and have it shipped to your house. The same services could exist for cash if that’s something that’s desirable. I think a lot of the reason physical banks exist is that old people have trouble with computers and in 20 years that demand will probably disappear.
You bring up the purpose of banks being intermediaries between savers and borrowers. In a fractional reserve system, especially one with very low reserve requirements, this relationship ceases to be meaningful. If I put in a dollar and the bank can lend many times that amount by creating money, what are they intermediating? Is there much of a difference between what we have now (very low reserve requirements) and zero reserve requirements? The reason to have reserve requirements is to ensure that the bank always has enough liquid money that I can go in and get my money. If you created a system where they are allowed to create money during the lending process (which they already do), but they weren’t allowed to spend my money, I don’t think it’d be functionally different than what we have now, but without there being the possibility of them misinvesting my money and me losing access to it, and needing government insurance to make me whole again.
A bailout then! Start the printing presses 😆 🤣
There were multiple startups that had their payroll at SVB - including multiple Israeli startups. This is why it was approved to cover depositors in full for those that had over 250k in the bank.

If anyone is still confused about whether different standards exist between the classes/castes of the United States, this administration's unhesitating decision to bail out these two banks, in particular, should make it perfectly clear. Separately, I wanted to hear and understand professor Baradaran's point of view; however, between the insane hair-fiddling and scattered thoughts, I found it impossible to follow along. Clearly, the professor is an intelligent and informed person regarding the said topic, though the focus and delivery of information with few distractions are equally important.

Thank you for having David Sirota on your show, DN! Sad, but not surprising, to see Barney Frank shilling. SVB equity holders should be on the hook first and foremost. The FDIC should follow its rules and enforce the $250K insured limit.
Edit: Your other guest was a train wreck.
In BC Canada when CN Rail expanded by merging with an American rail company the trains they started to run were being run as much longer trains. They doubled in length. After concerns and a few very risky derailments ( didn't turn out to be big disasters but could have) the government had the wisdom to restrict lengths of trains and regulate number of engines better etc. This avoided Iam sure many disasters ongoing.
That's because your politicians are not completely in the pocket of industry. Your country has at least some common sense. Mine doesn't.
Wisdom is not as cost-effective in the US. If they can cut corners, they will!
what about the derailment that took out that neighborhood bar and killed a lot of people?
Don't worry guys, US government debt is at $31.4 Trillion and Fed. at $8.6 Trillion(printed money); 2008, US debt was $9.5 Trillion and Fed. $0.00. Now Fed is printing money again from thin air by using BTFP(Bank Term Funding Program) to provide loans to banks which can use its TB and MBS as collaterals. When you have mountains of debt, the only solution is to keep printing money.

Nobody has any money. 80% of Americans don't have $500 saved for use in an emergency. Nearly all of us are drowning in debt and literally living paycheck to paycheck.
Meanwhile its necessary to point out that the average workers personal wealth has been eroded
disproportionally for the past 60 yrs year on year
And then workers GET BLAMED for not working hard enough! Instead of Studen loan forgiveness, just Make it up to everyone making under $50000 a year by sending a check to us for a change. Stop giving all tax payer dollars to banks, corporations, military manufacturers, Ukraine!

From what ive seen... they were betting on government bonds! Seems like a side effect of raising rates so fast. I wonder how many of our banks are quietly in the same predicament!
I'd say a whole lot of them. I don't think they are required to keep any reserve capital anymore.
That is exactly what happen. The Feds parabolic rate push created unrealized losses on the bank’s balance sheet. In essence making the bank insolvent, investors and more importantly financial brokers and middle men realized this and told their clients, the banks customers to withdraw their deposits.

Love Sirota and the team at The Lever!
This Mehrsa woman is so unprofessional. And should not be on a public forum or writing books.
The Tea Party formed as a protest to the last bailouts but the same people then refused to regulate the banks. So here we are again bailing out rich people who should have known better. We never learn.
The reason why the bankers do what they do is because they know they can get away with it. They paid the bribes and walked away with the money. It’s blatant fraud because there is no accountability!
"We never learn??" Who is we??
Don't think middle class or poor Americans want this!!
Wow in many ways the 2 parties are the same, both "serve" the rich and powerful at the expense of the people.
The two party voting system is a failure, undemocratic and unrepresentative .

It was the FED's fault, because US banks are told to invest in bonds for there safety which they did. The FED then flooded the market with currancy which Milton Friedman said will cause inflation. The FED (Experts) told everyone not to worry as inflation rose saying it was transitory. By the time SVB realised it wasn't transitory it was probably too costly and late to do anything and there maybe many other banks in the same position which will go bust if there is a bank run!
The banks were also forced to give super low interest loans like mortgages. Those mortgage holders get the fixed super low rate that drove up house prices, but the bank pays for it with the change of interest rates later. Certain risks the banks can't adjust for
The CEO of SVB unloaded a ton of stock weeks before the collapse - that is insider trading and the
SEC needs to investigate ALL senior SVB employees for the same ! And prosecute those who did the same.
Too late!! Get your money out of banks....They are way over leveraged too much risk on bad loans. Banks are not regulated like they use to be!
Good reality based explanations. And the reality is when it comes to financial management? in America? Two plus two rarely equals four.
This is another example of "Democracy" the American way.
"Of course there should be a bailout." -Mehrsa Baradaran, a banking shill who has a vested interest in making sure that the status quo remains.
3 Japanese Banks collapsed today.
The bank of sumo went belly-up.
The bank of origami folded.
The bank of bonzai lost a few branches.
That's how things don't work. If one crook is exonerated other crooks see it as their ticket out.
Somebody got away with a lot of money 💲😳
Geez, either Democracy Now didn't prep Mehrsa Baradaran well, or she's just awful. Yes, SVC wasn't carrying a reserve. Yes, they invested in Treasury Bonds. With the Treasury Bonds inverted, they lost a lot of money. SVC knew it was happening, the executives sold their stock for millions of dollars, and then the Cantilon effect occurred. Those closest to the money got out way before those that went for the bank run.
My question: Take your money out and put it where? These were solid institutions that collapsed so really, no bank is invulnerable. The Fed allowing banks to lend on zero reserves is the most insane thing ever and likely was the biggest reason these banks collapsed.
Really good reporting. Great guests.
The law professor isn't ready for prime time
If the goal is to stop bank runs the simply solution would be to limit the maximum withdrawals from a bank over a period of time which causes the run not to make the FDIC provide wealthy depositors with insurance they never paid for.
People should be able to withdraw their money whenever, for whatever reason, in any amount.
If the banks can't handle that, that is a massive flaw in the system. I'm going today to withdraw much of my money. Not my problem that the banks don't have enough cash for all of their customers.
@@user-zy4wv7yx1z than don't be upset when the private bank you choose to deposit your non insured deposits in fails and you have to wait for the sale of their assets. Because they don't have 100% liquidity

When is someone going to wake-up and put the financial genie back in the bottle?
she is the most inarticulate lawyer I’ve ever hear, I can’t follow what she’s saying at all.
I thought only socialist and communist countries are corrupted. Of course. Because when a lot of congressmen, senators or even presidents in a capitalist state are doing exactly that, it becomes a norm not a corruption.
In other countries, it’s called corruption. In the US, it is called lobbying and political contribution. Eg Mark Warner.

Everyone get your money out now, this house is going to fall! Do a quick stress test. Go to your ATM and remove $500. Repeat and see if they are able to give it. I have already seen many ATMs claim there is no cash
And some politicians say "socialism doesn't work"... seems to work just fine if you're wealthy.

Prof. Baradaran was right about Federal Reserve, and it is broken. Corruption is endemic throughout the banking industry. Canada has 5 banks and not one failure.

Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
He was right.
He believed that States, not the Federal Government should charter banks that could issue money.
He did not believe that the Constitution grants the Federal Government the authority to setup a '
"National Bank"
There's actually allot more regarding his opinion on how the banking system is set-up in this Country, do some research.
You could do some research on Glass-Steagall. Just put that back on the books.
Thomas Jefferson had that completely right! 2008 was a Dress Rehearsal to what we're now forced to bear responsibility for. Any Bubble Economy based on Borrowing and Spending will damn sure Pop!
Individual states chartering banks is an absolutely insane idea.
