The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation offered Silicon Valley Bank employees 45 days of employment and 1.5 times their salary, reports say.

An FDIC official did not comment on the details to CNN, but said it is standard practice and one of the first steps the independent government agency takes after being named receiver.

US workers also received their annual bonuses on Friday, just hours before FDIC took over the collapsed lender, Axios reported.

Assistant gangsters are fine with corruption as long as they get to wet their beaks.

During her last night afloat, the captain of the doomed battleship Bismarck, Ernst Lindemann — after finding out that the rudder was irreparably jammed and therefore the ship could only sail in a circle — opened up all the commissary supplies and ordered them distributed to the crew.

Cakes, candies, and other treats were handed out to all hands, most of whom were quite young. 2200 of them died before noon of that day, 27 May 1941.

The CEO set the standard for them, selling 3.5 million of his stock in this worthless bank two weeks ago. And he will face no consequences for having done so. It will be like the S&L crisis where the only person to go to prison was Martha Stewart.

Well, to receive such bonuses, they obviously must have done a very good job

... for their masters.

You must be joking.

That's as ridiculous as the mad conspiracy theory of Donald Trump, saying the it was possible that the Wuhan COVID virus originated in a laboratory for doing research on biological weapons.

Everyone knows it started in a food market right next to the biological weapons laboratory.

Putting climate change ahead of investors investments is a crime and a tort.

You betcha. Execs sold millions of dollars worth of shares leading up to the collapse. That’s insider trading. Also already revealed: large donations to Democrats, but no investigation into wrongdoing. To me it is reminiscent of the Keating Five in terms of setup. Meetings between SVB execs, politicians and regulators need to be investigated. It’s very important that the past several years is investigated. Banks don’t fail overnight, it take a long series of actions. I am curious if SVB received special treatment from regulators in the past, not recently, so certain people could profit. (Yeah, I sound like a conspiracy nut, but look at all the conspiracy theories that turned out to be true in recent years.)

Federal Reserve Board releases hypothetical scenarios for its 2023 bank stress tests

Guess the bank not on that list...

Most banks are incorporated in Delaware or South Dakota.

I am waiting to see what stocks do.

A good many small and regional banks might collapse within the next couple weeks...depending on the panic.
