    I’m so disappointed at these banks that ran away with our money. ”Are the government working towards helping us to recover our losses? Well it’s been all beneficial, I’m glad I found the secret ever since my retirement. I’d suggest you give crypto currency a trial and see for yourself.
    I’ve made passively few thousands lately with the help of an experienced platform who’s method are top notch and profitable.
    I’m absolutely grateful to God for leading through the right path.

    No contagion? Signature bank … Really confused over this , perhaps Liam could answer why HSBC along with the UK treasury worked together to buy out Silicone valley bank ? Why is Biden all over US media saying the US are going to bail out Silicone Valley Bank if HSBC have brought it for £1. Liam says they failed because of interest rate rises , really ? Didn't the banks accountants know that interest rates wouldn't stay at 0. Could someone please explain to a layperson what this is really all about .

    John 3:16-21

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Mark 1.15

    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

    2 Peter 3:9

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    Hebrews 11:6

    6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
    Jesus

    The mission statement for SVB was Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity. This appears to have been it's policy for lending, rather than the way it treated it's employees. It reminded me of the US banks that knowingly granted mortgages to people who could not make the repayments.

    Every bank does the same. Even if they create money out of thin air and cause higher inflation, the taxpayer will pay for it.

    Ups SPINELESS BANKSTERS did it again, SVB played rullete with cryptocurrencies, and lost, let gamlers rot . Are we gonna bailout each GAMLER every time they loose? If their investment bring profit , profit is PRIVATE, if they loose THE LOSS is PUBLIC we bail them out. DISGRACE to averige citizen paying taxes. HSBC buys TOXIC BANK wow, just wow

    Liam says there must have been a lot of losses in the UK bank of SVB but I wonder why. Is it suggested the UK bank failed to manage its solvency properly or did it have excessive debts due from its parent company in California.

    UK regulated businesses are subject to intense regulation, regular reporting and strict solvency levels. It is hard to believe SVB UK could have lost its reserve capital in a short time.

    We need to know the story as management faults and regulatory inadequacy needs to be aired.

    SVBC was hiring their top staff based on identity politics and not skill sets, it was also investing based on woke agendas, it was literaly going on about equity, climate and LGBTQ+ etc. It got woke and went broke.
