The American Banking Association isn’t wild about the phrase “bank failure” and is instead telling staff to give the crises at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank gentler monikers such as “idiosyncratic liquidity disruption,” sources told On The Money.

The banking trade group is telling staff to say the banks that went belly up simply “closed” and avoid phrases like “liquidity crisis” or “failure” in all speeches, emails, and conversations, a source adds.

ABA CEO Rob Nichols has been trying to push the talking point over the last few weeks — and his efforts were on full display during the group’s annual summit last week.

Banks don’t fail.

People do—and then they lie about it.

It’s not an outlandish distinction. When I hear the term “bank failure,” I associate it with non-performing loans in the bank’s portfolio.

The crises at banks like SVB and Signature occurred simply because the banks couldn’t raise sufficient cash from their reserves to meet the demands of all the customers withdrawing funds from their accounts.

They are correct since the fed/gov is never going let them go under because the important people could loose money.

Can't have that, the tax payers will cover the bill because they don't realize just how important the right people are to them.

Without the right people investing and managing the world all the little could be harmed.
