In the day leading up to the bank’s collapse, multiple prominent venture capitalists took to Twitter in particular -- and used their large platforms to raise alarms about the situation

Customers withdrew $42 billion in a single day last week from Silicon Valley Bank, leaving the bank with $1 billion in negative cash balance, the company said in a regulatory filing. The staggering withdrawals unfolded at a speed enabled by digital banking and were likely fueled in part by viral panic spreading on social media platforms and, reportedly, in private chat groups.

“What made the Silicon Valley Bank run unique was the ease with which its customers could execute withdrawals and the speed with which news of Silicon Valley Bank’s impending demise spread,” Ben Thompson, an analyst who tracks the tech industry, wrote in a post on Monday. “It was the speed, fueled by zero distribution costs for both rumors and withdrawals, that was so destabilizing.” Silicon Valley Bank was arguably uniquely susceptible to those factors given its tech-focused customer base.

Dems blame game is always on point....🤔 Must be all the practice

Smells like corruption, and Joe Biden is bailing out all the people that had money in there even if it was over $250,000 Joe Biden administration is a disgrace

raise alarms or cause a run on the bank? We should be looking at Peter Thiel and other bad actors. Including the GOPClownShow and some DINOS who voted for rolling back bank regs. SVBCollapse

They knew about it for months and said nothing, and now they act like heroes. 😬 Crooks in suits. Grrrrr 😡

This is disgusting. The bank FAILED, don’t blame Twitter

These boners are never gonna blame themselves
