would be interested in knowing if the us gov just buys the assets, since at the end of the day, (longer term) there seems to be a pretty good guarantee of getting it all back (minus time value of money)
And I sincerely doubt there is appetite in Congress for a bank bailout for Big Tech.
The people being "bailed out" are the owners and employees of small businesses and startups that, just by nature of having a deposit as SVB, unconsciously acted as a creditor to an institution that had an 'A' credit rating by Moody's, a 'Buy' rating by JPM, and had passed whatever monitoring and risk tolerance requirements put in place by the Fed.
