FWIW, on Thursday it wasn’t clear to me I had so little time to get money out and part of me felt like contributing to a bank run, before it was clear there was a bank run, was not being a good citizen. Still not sure how I feel about it all. SVB staff were great over the 10+ years we banked there. Tech was always crap but I liked the people. Very sad all around.

FDIC will unfreeze a non trivial amount of depositors funds by Wed or Thursday. They sold a lot of assets Friday. I’m personally not predicting huge job losses. There are lots of war chest sized balances in SVB that it doesn’t matter if they take longer to get made whole. So if they effectively unfreeze say two million per account or 45% whichever is larger on Wed/Thur and then balance in a couple of months I think Job losses will be minimal.

Word is that 50% of assets already sold by FDIC. Which will allow a large chunk of each account to be unfrozen by Wed so companies can make payroll. FDIC is not fucking around. Hat tip to them.

Balance to take 2-3 months. Will require an actual application and paperwork.
