What was really crazy was when the POTUS said that they would make all the depositors of Silicon Valley Bank whole, but that investors of Silicon Valley Bank stock (preferred and common) would not be made whole since they knew the risks. But Silicon Valley Bank invested in a bunch of 10 year treasury bonds back when interest rates were near zero and when interest rates rose those bonds became almost worthless, causing alarmed depositors (mostly ultra-wealthy Venture Capitalists) to make a big bank run collapsing Silicon Valley Bank. So I guess in Silicon Valley Bank's case, they didn't have to know the investment risks (of the 10 year U.S. treasury bonds) - the Fed made their depositors (who were late to the bank run game) whole. LMFAO.
