Just one member of Silicon Valley Bank's board of directors had a career in investment banking, while the others were major Democratic donors, it has been revealed.

Tom King, 63, was appointed to the board in September after previously serving as the CEO of investment banking at Barclay's. He has had 35 years of experience in investment banking.

But he is the only one on the board with a career in the financial industry, while others are a former Obama administration employee, a prolific contributor to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and even a Hillary Clinton mega-donor who prayed at a Shinto shrine when Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.

In the 1990's it was public universities. In the 2000's it was the media outlets. In 2010's it was social media. In 2020 it was the boardrooms of our institutions.

Where government goes to be cancer.

[Vaduz]

Democrat leadership in action it was expected.

More stuff for the tax payer to pay for.

[HandBasketHell]

Go woke, go broke, get bailed out by leftist Dems.

Unfortunately, it's usually the tax payers who end up bailing these banks out.

Just looking at their website you wouldn’t even think it was a bank. And they certainly aren’t concerned abut YOUR money.

[Bubba_Leroy]

If a bank in Houston that primarily serviced the oil & gas industry and that had lots of uninsured deposits of Republican millionaires had failed who thinks that the Biden regime would have bailed out the depositors?

Woke Fraud - bump for later....

It was nothing more than a DNC Laundry for China and other countries.

“Vampire Economy”

[griswold3]

Like Amalgamated Bank? (As the New York Times said of Amalgamated, it is “the left’s private banker.” )

[CivilWarBrewing]

Deep State PLOT:

Infiltrate banks and every other institution in America with CRAZED DEMONRAT WACKOS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DESTROYING THEM.

100% INTENTIONAL TAKE-DOWNS.

[no-to-illegals]

Business as usual in the swamp

[NWFree]

I told you the libtards bankrupted them

[minnesota_bound]

A personal friend of the Newsoms (gov of Calif) was also involved. I bet money laundering went on with this bank.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

They and their depositors mostly want us dead.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The far-left Turd Rollers love blaming these bank failures on Trump when they were actually O’Bama’s fault.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

We need a clawback from these political idiots.
