Seems they couldn’t find a buyer, so they use the #SystemicRisk exception to make all depositors whole. #SVB Silicon Valley Bank
„Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13.“
„Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected.“
And the same approach for Signature Bank, New York.
That’s quite drastic, IMHO. Two rather small banks getting „promoted” to systemic risk.
