I've always known that #WellsFargo was a troubled bank but the fact that my 85 year old incapacitated mother has been denied access to her own funds has proven it. If you are ailing, old, or without an attorney, expect a run around that you won't believe. 5 months and counting.
In helping my mom (84), I learned today, that you cannot just go into a #WellsFargo branch and send a standard domestic wire the same day without an appointment. Discrimination against the non-technically literate clients. Hard enough to have to drive to the bank at 84.

Every regulated bank has some mgmt committee for ALCO (asset liability committee). Monthly review/strategy by key managers across the enterprise. Partly to measure rate shocks and their impact on the banks' liquidity and capital. They knew this was coming and didnt act. #SVB
As a former long-term banker, hearing a banks CAMEL rating said in public was like overhearing someone's social security number. Shhh! The Bank Regulators Are Disappointed https://t.co/Bp1S8CvmOG

@WritingAtom Understand the sentiment but much of a VC's source of capital is from pension funds that hold many regular person's retirement money. They will also lose if no backstop. #SVB#bankrun

@bhargreaves No specific knowledge but based on historical and personal experience: 1) deposits assumed by another bank in a deal with the FDIC (think 2008), 2) possible outright sale, 3) White Knight. I believe depositors will be made whole in the end. Difficult weeks coming.
A lot of panic re: SVB (you should see my phone/emails!). A bank run driven by panic is the real risk here, not the action of selling LT securities at loss
I have no inside information as I left SVB in 2012, but know enough about banking to piece together.
Quick 🧵
So the VC industry collectively panicked and orchestrated a run on its largest banking partner of the last 40 years. The bank most likely to have supported its portcos through a recession. Well done guys.
