theres a lot of handwringing right now and its very funny to watch these vc "people" squirm, but it seems most likely to me that the banks balance sheet will be sold and most of depositors will be made whole one way or another.

i should go people watch on university ave today though.

that said, the standard is knowing or reckless falsehood, which is kinda a gently caress if the speech act causes itself to be true like calling runs at a bank is. really twisty you'd have to get to get around that

thiels statement was definitely true, even if the mere statement of it made itself a self fulfilling prophecy. its not like in britain where you can get sued for true poo poo sometimes

the problem is companies needing the money now, not 'you'll get it eventually'

i'm guessing there's a lot of short term loans and calls to investors being made this weekend

despite what anyone thinks of Peter Thiel's politics, he's a very good investor. and pulling the money before anyone else was the correct move. and if his portfolio companies also got their money out, then that was good advice to them
