Because the officers of the bank are guilty of maybe 10% more garden variety bank greed than the average bank, while the real criminals here are the Silicon Valley CEOs who conspired to start a bank run and within 24 hours were demanding taxpayers fork over billions to clean up all their mess.

Yeah, way to victim blame.

Only an irrational person would “take one for the team” and leave their assets in an obviously failing bank.

I mean, if only so-and-so had kept their mouth shut nobody would have noticed that some cryptodudes and dudettes had blown a few measly billion of their customers’ funds.

I mean, I’m much more concerned about the “immediately demanding taxpayers make them whole” bit.
