They're going to send out some money this week, but the value of the IOUs will depend on how much they can sell the bank's assets for. Certainly less than face value. It's going to be hard to borrow against that.

- kragen 4y agothis week ends in 34 hours, so this is unlikely the ious are actually receiver's certificates, and as i understand it, borrowing against receiver's certificates is a commonplace thing to do in cases like this

Everyone got their money from Lehman Brothers, and everyone will get their money from SVB. But not everyone is going to get it right away, because it is invested.
