@mikulaja While many aspects of this Synapse debacle defy common understanding, banks should be able to answer this basic question.
Depositors deserve better. The public’s confidence in our banks requires better.
Fixing this more important than revisiting brokered deposits.
@bank_reg Seems odd to me that Travis would have devoted so much in his recent speech on brokered deposits if the fdic was going just make a few nonsubstantive changes.
Great speech by Hsu on the importance of recovery planning. All this is fine and good so long as the Directors of the Bank hold management accountable for executing and the plans are reasonable given market and investor expectations.
Acting Comptroller Hsu: “I believe expanding the application of the [OCC’s recovery planning guidelines] to all large banks with at least $100 billion in assets warrants serious consideration.”

Both proposals were withdrawn because neither could pass without Hsu. Some laughter in the room because the situation is very unusual. FDIC board effectively debated the issue in public, but then did not take action.
