NPR did a story fourteen years ago covering a real life example: https://www.npr.org/2009/03/26/102384657/anatomy-of-a-bank-t...

This being a bit different, the most likely scenario will be SVB getting bought on the cheap by a bigger bank. The merger will be pushed by the regulator.

Since SVB's root problem is lack of diversification in client basis, a larger bank beings the perfect solution. In such a scenario SVB will continue as a brand, and their website would start working again.

That's probably the best of the bad outcomes. Hopefully other banks aren't hiding liquidity crunches too, and can actually make the purchase.
