- On Friday, Signature Bank customers spooked by the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank withdrew more than $10 billion in deposits, a board member told CNBC.

- That run on deposits quickly led to the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history. Regulators announced late Sunday that Signature was being taken over to protect its depositors and the stability of the U.S. financial system.

- “I think part of what happened was that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message,” said board member and former congressman Barney Frank.

Bawney Fwank famously proclaimed Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac as solid institutions right after W had proclaimed them highly vulnerable in 2005.

Probably a lot of libtard banks are frauds without money to cover deposits should customers decide to withdrawal

13 March: ClimateDepot: Marc Morano: Bank of England Downgrades Net Zero & Will Cut Spending for its Work on Climate Change – Shift ‘to focus on core areas’
Bloomberg: Cost pressures prompt central bank to focus on core areas... Climate programs will slip lower on the central bank’s agenda so officials can focus more on the core operations such as financial stability, markets and a digital currency, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be named.

For as many years as that crypoid has been sucking at taxpayer money, you’d think he would’ve learnt how things work, but noooooo. He only cares about the gravy train and spewing sh*t that ain’t real to keep the natives riled up against “da man” who pays his “salary”.

My bank is sending notices to everyone, begging them not to pull their money out.

“I think part of what happened was that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message,” said board member and former congressman Barney Frank.

I think most of what happened is that the depositors found out that corrupt idiot Bawney Fwank is on the Board of Directors of their bank.

I didn't get any notices, so I pulled money out of two of my banks today. Teller friendly, didn't bat an eye - no lines. I guess the smaller banks are worried. One of my daughters is a high-level manager at Wells Fargo, she said that there were no discussions at work today about any banking news, and she thought that was strange.

What the hello does any of this have to do with 'crypto'? I think their our nefarious scumbags in the shadows using this crisis to usher in a federal reserve digital currency. Of course if they do this they will crack down on all other crypto currency.

Nope, that's Barney Fag.

Bonus Question: Who's the Republican Politician that said it?
