If there are bad guys it’s the VCs who coordinated the bank run. Even still, each of them was acting rationally and not maliciously, but they’re all savvy enough to know that racing for the exits is going to kill the bank.
- ashwagary 4y agoIf SVB's activity can be described as "yield chasing", there is no way clients, whatever their actions were, deserve more blame than the management.
