I think either California or the Treasury Department should backstop Silicon Valley Bank - thousands of companies will fold or lay people off next week because of lack of access to accounts through no fault of their own. Take the equity and fire the managers. But SVB’s clients - many biotech - are important for national innovation and competitiveness. Plus you need to instill trust and reduce financial contagion/panic/further runs.
