According to anti-disinformation for-profit firm Alethea, a wide range of accounts used the bank's collapse to promote their own agendas. The firm's founder Lisa Kaplan told Bloomberg that the claims by venture capitalists speculating the collapse of the bank that were amplified “propagandists and foreign influencers” contributed to the collapse of the bank. “We assess that these outlets may have increased online panic and contributed to the broader cross-platform spread of false or misleading content about SVB,” Kaplan said to Bloomberg.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84489066 Silicon Valley Bank (16th biggest US bank) is gone after an idiotic and irresponsible policy to invest short term customer deposits in long term US Treasuries at the bottom of the interest rate cycle. Even worse, they then valued the bonds at maturity rather than market, to avoid taking a loss. Clearly a management that didn’t have a clue about risk. So who's the conspiracy theorists now Lisa Kaplan? You are lol |

Nope... it came from the Ceo and executives dumping their stonks, then a bunch of tech CEOs and rich deposit holders panicked and withdrew all their money. They had massive unrealized losses that would only get worse |
