> Money to depositors for amounts greater than $250K is a bail out. They have no right to that money from the Feds.

No. The feds aren't giving anyone fed money, they're selling SVB's assets and giving the people they owe their own money back. There isn't enough money to give everyone 100% back, so they won't be getting 100% back. There's no extra government money making anyone "whole". They're just winding down the assets so they don't all get stolen like FTX.




Extra money is precisely what Yellen is proposing. The government will backstop the depositors to prevent a run on every other non-SIFI. This is the right move.


> Extra money is precisely what Yellen is proposing.

That's certainly not what any of the articles quoting her are saying.


> Extra money is precisely what Yellen is proposing.

Then you should be able to offer up a quote where she says that.

Hint: she never said that.


Under what regulatory framework?
