The treasury secretary was in Ukraine, the bank’s leadership has been accused of selling bank stock.
And the fed is telling states they must urgently adopt their new rules including the digital money monopoly.
So the fed can use this crisis to get their final chess moves in place.
They are openly telling you they must be able to stop the flow of money at will and according to their agenda.

They have turned into Woke POS, and maybe even slaves of China, like Business Insider.

Forbes is as big of liar about the fake USA government financial system as it is about pimping the NEOCON sponsored proxy war with Russia using Ukraine as the MEATGRINDER!!

Not too many years ago, I would have asked, “How much of Forbes ad content is consumed by SVB”?
Now I ask, “Who controls Forbes and who do they have in charge?”

I’m guessing banks are like people since people lie their ass off, banks are run by people and then they get caught.

“What the heck happened to Forbes?”

Their ‘reporting’ on Ukraine is likely the worst in the US, and even gives the Daily Mail a run for its money, which is NOT easy to do.

I suspect that they’ve found a ‘more profitable’ way to make money rather than trying to be honest, just as the news networks did, once drug companies were allowed to advertise on their TV shows.

I see it as they are all part of the ‘woke’ culture. Dumb as rocks and financially suicidal to boot. Go woke, then go broke and stick a fork in it. They deserve everything they get and I detest them getting any taxpayer bailouts.

SVB’s stock value when Forbes made its endorsement of its particular virtues as a bank was $310/share. They are now worth effectively zero.

Forbes' reaction

This isn’t hard to understand, Forbes and I suspect many others new this “climate bank” was in big trouble, and decided to start pumping it up in an effort to save the planet at the taxpayers expense.

We live in a world now where the standard is how Woke an institution or individual is. Proper practice is in the back seat.

I am not a major consumer of financial news

Well, that’s the problem. Being a major consumer of financial news you would eventually surmise a few things. 1.) Journalists have a rudimentary understanding of finance at best. 2.) Journalists and business network talking heads are often being played by businesses and their representatives. 3.) Journalists report. That’s their full time job. They do not trade for a living - successful traders are the experts and they are NOT in the news. You probably never heard of them. Is it really a good idea to rely on non experts? 4.) Journalists are not financially astute. They spend tens of thousands of dollars and go into debt to go to j-school where they learn to write at a sixth grade level and ask who, what, when and where.

Does a Chinese investment group own Forbes?
Forbes Media, which encompasses the magazine Forbes and other related business ventures, is majority-owned by Integrated Whale Media Investments. The Hong Kong investment group purchased a controlling stake in the company in 2014 for an undisclosed amount.

Oddly, the key folks with zero knowledge or hints of trouble? Treasury Department.

It looks like the federal government, and just about every department in it is focused on climate change and LGBTQ issues. The actual performance of the department is secondary.
