> Apple has 50 billion in reserves, do you think they can find 200 thousand banks to spread that around?

Good question and of course, that's not likely. But then 50B in reserves isn't something you keep in a bank account, it's something you have rolled into several different financial instruments with varying levels of available liquidity.

Certainly, but what should be clear here is that we are not rescuing a failed investment. We are not giving out money to those who lost on crypto or whatever other risky asset. People are getting furious because they think something analogous to that is actually happening, when in fact all those companies are not at fault and did not benefit from SVB's suboptimal resource allocation.
