Forced sale of a storied investment bank and lax U.S. financial rules are renewing concerns about the banking sector.

Investors cast a more skeptical look at Credit Suisse in the aftermath of SVB's March 10 collapse, when U.S. regulators took over the regional bank and declared it insolvent. Unlike the 2008 crisis, SVB's problems stemmed from what Konczal calls"very boring banking, all things considered."

SVB also had a significantly higher share of uninsured depositors than other banks, which meant that much of their assets wouldn't be protected by the FDIC's $250,000 insurance if the bank failed. As a result, spooked depositors rushed to withdraw their funds, creating a classic"run on the bank." The 2018 law blunting Dodd-Frank lifted that threshold from $50 billion in assets to $250 billion. That meant SVB, with just over $200 billion in assets, didn't have to undergo a stress test.

We learned our lesson from 2008. Never again.

How many of bank executives of too-big-to-fail banks went to prison after collapsing the world economy in 2008? Does anyone expect them behave if they weren't held accountable for their previous crimes?
