BREAKING: California Regulators CLOSE Silicon Valley Bank – FDIC Named Receiver – CEO Allegedly Sold $3.5 Million in Stock in Last Two Weeks

California regulators closed Silicon Valley Bank on Friday. The FDIC was named receiver.
Via Market Watch:

Silicon Valley Bank has been closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has been appointed receiver, becoming the first FDIC-backed institution to fail this year. The news comes amid a crisis at parent SVB Financial Group SIVB, , which lost a record 60% of its value on Thursday, after it disclosed large losses from securities sales and announced a dilutive stock offering along with a profit warning. The FDIC said all insured depositors will have full access to their accounts no later than Monday morning. Uninsured depositors will get a receivership certificate and may be entitled to dividends once the FDIC sells the bank’s assets.

The bank reportedly holds $173 billion in deposits.
The crash could cause a recession.

The company provided funding to 44% of all venture capital-backed tech and healthcare companies that publicly listed on a stock exchange last year, according to its website.

Fed interest rate is at 4.57%
SVB's $117B of securities (MBS) yield 1.56-1.66%
This is causing a bank run

It should have been obvious when Jim Cramer started propping it up last month.

Jim Cramer said a month ago Silicon Valley Bank was a buy.

He also said Bear Sterns was fine in 2008.

This man deserves an Oscar.
