"you might or might not be insured, if you don't wanna find out then don't gently caress around" doesn't seem like the worst middle ground.

SVB was literally sending around notices saying "everything fully insured, no limits!" which, yes, is begging to be modified into "everything fully insured? no, limits!" but it's kinda true anyway

mystes posted:"everyone" in that quote clearly specifically means "all banks" based on the alternative that is stated so they are not doing that that doesn't matter. they are saying "everyone who deposits at SVB is fully insured up to any amount, which you will not get at another bank" which probably is bad! they effectively removed consequences for the bank behaving badly. it also signals to other banks that they can fail and nothing will happen either

Beeftweeter posted:that doesn't matter. they are saying "everyone who deposits at SVB is fully insured up to any amount, which you will not get at another bank" I mean, the bank was still seized and their $6.3 billion in equity is now literally worthless, so it's not a case of "nothing will happen". Depositors being protected while shareholders get wiped out is not exactly going to cause other banks to decide that they can also just go buck wild.

Beeftweeter posted:what does that matter to the bank as an institution? they don't need the shareholders now, and the people working there are actually making 1.5x what they were I mean, if you just want to see people who work at a bank punished for the Manichean evil of being bankers, then I can understand how it is unsatisfying that they are not being put into mediaeval torture devices just so they can properly suffer. But for every other bank out there, they still have to answer to their shareholders (and, in fact, many of the bank executives also hold significant shares in their banks as well). Those shareholders don't want to get wiped out, the C-suite doesn't want the millions of equity that's included in their TCP to become worthless, and the fact that some of the management will temporarily make more money during a bank failure (until the bank is fully absorbed and they are made redundant in the new organization) is not going to present significant moral hazard.
