Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was America’s 16th-largest bank with $175 billion in deposits.  Last Friday customers tried to withdraw $42 billion, a quarter of all deposits, in a 21st century bank run.  The FDIC stepped in and closed the bank.  All of that happened in 2 days - the bank is now gone and equity holders have probably lost everything.

In this Episode we discuss:

• The background leading up to the implosion
• Risk management failings at the bank
• Who gets hurt
• Will depositors get their money back - should they get their money back?
• Opposing viewpoints from leading influencers such as Mark Cuban and Vivek Ramaswamy
• ESG’s influence over risk management
• Liquidity and Net Worth are different
