Are you aware how close SVB was to being solvent after the bank run?

From the numbers I have seen, was in mild trouble but nowhere near insolvent before Thiel and those like him caused the bank run.

That might be true and I don't really care? It's _a bank_. My expectation is that I can pull my money whenever the hell I want.

If me taking my point out of my account causes you problems, that sounds like a you problem. I absolutely do not freaking get this.
