If the bank is a Fed member, doesn't it take its USTs to the discount window instead of selling them for big losses? Does this suggest that all large banks (however defined) should be Fed members, regardless of their charter status?
Silicon Valley Bank seems to have had large amounts of uninsured deposits from businesses and high net worth individuals. And those uninsured deposits are likely to be impaired in the receivership, meaning that they will not get paid 100 cents on the dollar whenever they do get paid.
You gotta feel for BlockFi customers. First, they find themselves creditors in BlockFi's bankruptcy. And now they've found out that BlockFi had a large, uninsured deposit...at Silicon Valley Bank. Yup, it seems that BlockFi had $227 million in a money market deposit account at SVB. (The UST refers to it as a "money market mutual fund," but that cannot be right, or it wouldn't be at SVB or have any insurance.

In this article we exploit the richness and flexible design of the CES to explore in detail recent changes in consumers’ medium-term inflation expectations. The data suggest that over the course of 2022 these expectations became less well anchored around the ECB’s 2% inflation target. By taking the necessary actions and actively communicating how monetary policy is contributing to stabilising future inflation, the ECB can help strengthen public trust and prevent recent price and cost shocks from having longer-lasting inflationary effects.

In the wake of the Third Circuit's LTL Management decision many commentators wrote off the Texas Two-Step as dead. Turns out it's not, it's just playing out in a different key with a new filing in SDTX. On Feb. 13, Tehum Care Services, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas. The Tehum story starts with a Delaware corporation called Corizon Health, Inc., which provided prison health care services. Corizon faced substantial exposure (perhaps $88 million) on professional liability claims.
With Tara Twomey's selection as the new head of the Executive Office of U.S. Trustee, the National Consumer Bankruptcy Rights Center (NCBRC) is seeking a new director. The NCBRC helps shape consumer bankruptcy law, as it did for many years under Twomey's leadership. This is an opportunity for someone else to do the same.
