> if it hadn’t devolved into a run this whole story would be a foot note in a quarterly filing. Rather I suspect there was a bit of market manipulation by some wealthy valley insiders that took a relatively routine asset management event and turned it into a crisis. For profit.
This is it. People are quick to point out mismanagement at svb, but it's only because of the run and the following collapse. After the fact, it's easy find data points to explain away anything. Holdkng on to low yield treasuries, really now, this is the telltale sign of a failing bank?
History still needs to be written on this one, don't discount the human factor, debtor's panic because of gossip run wild is not too far fetched.
