#FTXUS Analysis - Thread 3
Following on from yesterday. Todays thread will focus on payments to #insiders made in the last 12 months prior to bankruptcy. Every time I look through the docs...I'm just amazed how spellbindly outrageous this whole shit show is.
Following on from yesterday. Todays thread will focus on payments to #insiders made in the last 12 months prior to bankruptcy. Every time I look through the docs...I'm just amazed how spellbindly outrageous this whole shit show is.
In 12 months just over $25m was paid to insiders. I've summarised by quarter. 48% of payments went to undisclosed parties but since they are insiders and SBF only clipped a lazy $500k in his name...lets assume its him. 
The stand out insider is the former CFTC commissioner #markwetjen who was paid $3.7million
At the beginning of what we call “America,” the government wrote laws, one such set of laws created the US dollar.
Because the federal government created the US dollar, you might think the Fed Govt’s understand that US dollar banking is the responsibility of the dollar’s creator.
Because the federal government created the US dollar, you might think the Fed Govt’s understand that US dollar banking is the responsibility of the dollar’s creator.
But, seemingly, the federal government (and the public) don’t get it. Allowing for-profit, private banks to handle that responsibility, competently and without stealing, requires an impossible level of supervision along with a naive belief in the purity of the human spirit.
For apologists, #SVB's #bailout was mere prudence: innocent bystanders stood in harm's way - rank-and-file startup employees, elite private school scholarship kids -so regulators improvised measures to make everyone whole without costing the public a dime. What's not to like?

But that account doesn't hold up to even the most cursory scrutiny. Everything about it is untrue. Take the idea that this wasn't a "bailout" because it was the depositors who got rescued, not the shareholders.

Here's @CrossRiverBank's details over at #FDIC. Various addresses, FDIC ID numbers, charter info, etc. in case anyone's looking to dig around.
Note that for their first 5 years they were rated "Needs to improve" as a bank.

1) The fact is that @FDICgov #deposit #insurance is outdated. Don’t consider only the $250k or amount but underlying activities when assessing deposit insurance. It was designed for a Glass-Steagall world. Today, the #DIF should be priced relative to underlying business risk.
2) An old fashioned community bank that merely takes deposits and makes loans within its customer geography should be assessed at a different level than a bank that is also an asset manager, insurer, and investment bank.
3) #FDIC insurance should be priced based upon underlying activity AND business line risks. The DIF assessments for plain vanilla, old fashioned banks, should be essentially free up to a dollar amount that captures the deposit needs of their local customers.
Le fonds américain qui est soit-disant censé garantir les dépôts jusqu'à $250000 aux États-Unis, est de $130 milliards.
Les dépôts des clients de #SVB sont de $165 milliards, soit plus que le fonds de garantie, dont $150 milliards non assurés (dépôts dépassant les $250k).

#SVB Bankruptcy and $USDC Unpegged Incident
1/7 #Circle, an issuer of $USDC, announced on Mar 10th that #SVB, where they held their funds, had gone bankrupt. This leaves $3.3B collateralized in $USDC locked up. Upon this news, $USDC plunged more than 10%.

2/7: However, #Circle had previously disclosed the amount of reserve it held in $USDC, and currently, only 8.2%($3.3B out of $40B) was tied up in #SVB.

Of course, if you park liquidity in a time deposit liability side product, at a bank, you might have to pay a penalty for early withdrawal.
But, the highest liquidity risk is emanating from the sight deposits pool.

Una cronología del 2do colapso bancario más grande en la historia de EEUU. Las redes están a full con publicaciones sobre #SiliconValleyBank, y la historia es difícil de seguir. Acá un hilo 🧵con un poquito de research para intentar entender mejor cómo se llegó a esta situación
El miércoles pasado, Silicon Valley Bank $SIVB tenía $212 billones en activos y una capitalización de mercado de $16bn. 48 horas después, el banco quebró. ¿CÓMO SE LLEGÓ HASTA ESTA SITUACIÓN CRÍTICA?
La raíz del problema empezó en 2021 cuando las firmas, mayoría #startups respaldadas por #venturecapital, recaudaron $330bn (el doble que el año anterior). Todo esto en un mundo en donde sobraba liquidez, con Fed fund rates de 0,25 %, T-Bonds a 10 años al 1% e inflación de 1,4%
⭐️One of the largest banks in the U.S., #SiliconValleyBank, has gone bankrupt. This is the largest bankruptcy in the United States since the 2008 financial crisis.
It has raised question marks on the existence of 1000's of startups in the US and in India too.

1. California banking regulators pulled the shutters on #SiliconValleyBank (SVB), a lender to some of the largest tech companies in the world, on 10th March, making it the largest bank to fail since the global financial crisis of 2008.
2. US regulators closed #SiliconValleyBank and took control of its deposits, a move which puts nearly $175 billion in customer deposits under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp’s control.
In this Silicon Valley Bank situation, it might be worth giving a little credit to the #FDIC. Most people are talking about #SVB as a once-in-a-lifetime event. But, FDIC has gone through this 562 times in the last 22 years. Bank failures are not that rare.
For everyone in a panic that the money is lost -- that's probably not the case. The assets of SVB are not worth nothing. SVB went down for *liquidity* reasons, not *solvency* reasons.
On Thursday, depositors initiated $42 B (!) of withdrawals. This letter from the California regulator says that SVB ended the day with short around a billion. (this would actually be quite a feat if they actually met $41B of those withdrawals... so I don't think they did)
¿Cómo el mayor colapso bancario desde la Gran Recesión del 2008 puede desencadenar una crisis sin precedentes?

Como muchos ya saben, cerró el Silicon Valley Bank, el 16vo banco más grande de EEUU. Líder para custodiar fondos de startups por 40 años, fue víctima de lo que se conoce como un bank run o cascada de liquidez.
¿Cómo?
¿Cómo?
Los depósitos del #SVB aumentaron 3 veces de 2019 a 2021, y mientras fondos de capital de riesgo invirtieron en exceso en startups sin un modelo de negocio real, SVB hizo LO MISMO...pero en bonos del Tesoro de tasa fija y otros instrumentos de deuda.
Silicon valley libertarians up through yesterday:
Gov stifles innovation, keep them away.
This morning: we need immediate, drastic government action.

1) BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! 3 more #blockchain bills cleared the #Wyoming legislature today & head to @GordonGovernor's desk for signature! The special-purpose depository institution, tokenized corporate stock certificates & Secretary of State blockchain integration bills all passed today
2) The special-purpose depository institution (SPDI) is esp impt. It helps solve the #blockchain sector's prob of difficulty accessing basic US$-only #bank accounts, which v few banks offer to start-ups. Many horror stories of start-ups shutting down bc banks closed their accts
3) US businesses that lose their bank accts go out of biz (for ex. IRS requires withholding taxes to be paid electronically via a bank acct). It’s critical to success of #blockchain sector that more than just a few banks serve industry (for basic checking/payroll/cash mgmt accts)
1/ TWEETSTORM to answer ?s many asked abt #Wyoming's new #blockchain bills, including blockchain-friendly #bank bill. Bottom line: in addition to enacting 5 blockchain-friendly bills in 2018, 6 more bills have an elevated chance of becoming law bc they're now "committee bills"...
2/ ...& more bills are coming. Told ya' #Wyoming isn't done yet! Major opposition from the banking industry to the #bank bill & we weren't sure of outcome, but it v powerful committee endorsed it 13-1 & the only vote against it came from a banker. Next step=legislature in Jan...
3/ ...with momentum behind it (tho it's not law yet!). WY Banking Commissioner approached us after the 13-1 vote came in, to start rule-making work now. We're forming a group thru Digital Asset Trade Assoc (@asset_trade)--email info@digitalasset.org if you'd like to join that...
