Excerpt:
"Something remarkable happened yesterday: just after midnight on Sunday night, the FDIC announced that a small bank which almost nobody had heard of before, First-Citizens Bank & Trust (FCNCA) would scoop up the remaining assets of the now defunct Silicon Valley Bank,which imploded on March 9 following a furious bank run, that saw $42BN in deposits drained in hours (and where another $100 billion in deposits were about to be yanked on Friday, which is why the FDIC stepped in and shuttered the bank before market open on Friday March 10)...


... and what happened next shocked everyone" FCNCA stock almost doubled, soaring to the highest on record."

    Zero hedge has hit the bulls eye on this FED gift.
    Who would expect anything different. The Enemy is the Banking Cartel , Their system is being demolished but it is not a complete tear down. It is a remodeling. The collapse of SVB caught them completely by surprise. Now we have FTX in the news again, SamBankmanFreid was bribing Chinese officials. These 2 institution were absolutely tools of the invisible Enemy. Trump is a master builder and he understands deconstruction as well as construction. An immediate collapse of the whole corrupt Temple would be disastrous, we can still live in a remodeling but not a complete tear down.
    See the thing is as a contractor selling his services he needs to show the home owner the problem, we
    Are the homeowner. FTX was a Money laundering machine for the Uniparty CUCKS , The US sends
    $ to Ukraine, then Ukraine sends $ to FTX and instead of buying Bitcoin for Ukraine they “donate”it to politicians. Rinse and repeat. Boom it’s gone .
    First Citizens, SVB exposes the favored treatment of the elite on our dime. It’s like the contractor showing evidence of termites to the home owner.
    Like the tip of the iceberg being slowly lifted exposing a much more massive issue below the water. SVB was like a shot across the bow. Boom..
    Credit Suisse was like another board being lifted revealing more termites. Boom
    When Trump merged the Fed into the treasury he put the assets into the treasury and the liabilities were left with the FED. BlackRock was retained to package and sell those assets the Fed had acquired during the QE forever period under Hussein. How do you transfer this massive debt on to the Bankers and off our backs?
    The best is yet to come.

    The SVB held long term bonds. It faced a demand for cash from short term depositors. The long bonds could not be cashed in as not due, and the market did not buy them, hence crash. The new owner of SVB now owns those long bonds. If there is no need to cash them in, ie the new owner can cover demands for short term deposits being withdrawn, then those long bonds can be carried on the books at face value.
    The question, the only question, is,
    Was the sale of SVB open to all prospective buyers with full access to information?

      Earlier in the week that SVB had the bank run , it was reported they sold their bond portfolio to increase liQuidity. In that sale it was reported they took close to 1 1/2 billion dollar loss. Then they announced a stock offering. Peter Thiel a staunch Trump supporter pulled his cash and suggested his other portfolio companies do the same. By Friday the run on the bank overwhelmed them and the bank was shut down. Long bonds can’t be cashed in? Not untill maturity but they can always be sold. The value however declines as interest rates are increased.

        From Puck news : The beginning of the end of Silicon Valley Bank commenced on Friday, March 3, when the Goldman Sachs bond trading desk got an interesting inbound call: SVB, the venerable central nervous system of the tech industry, was seeking its assistance to negotiate the purchase, as a principal, of a $24 billion chunk of SVB’s portfolio of Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities. The bonds were part of the investment portfolio that SVB had decided to sell in order to meet an unexpected rush of withdrawals from its uninsured depositors, such as venture-capital firms and their portfolio companies.

        Goldman is Goldman—the firm handles deals like this all the time, and well. The opportunity this time was fairly straightforward. Goldman would buy the portfolio at a significant discount and then sell the bonds over the course of the following weeks, providing SVB with liquidity while Goldman sought to arbitrage the spread. Working through the weekend, Goldman’s traders would have to value each of the bonds separately, taking into account their duration, their interest rates and their credit profile, among other things, including what Goldman thought each bond would fetch in the increasingly volatile market.
