We choose to carry in now our very own Arrow

Barnett. He has been busy protecting the

collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. He's

there as you noticed in Santa Clara

California. The

Wall Street Journal is reporting that

the justice branch and the SEC are

looking into the disasters of Silicon

Valley Bank and that consists of Bank

Executives promoting shares simply days

before the crumple. That would not sound

good. What greater thing have you learned?

Yes, they're Lana and Elaine extremely good to see

you each in reality, that sale of shares by

Executives, simply earlier than this financial institution went

under, the final week while the customers

were telling me infuriated them you know

as they had been standing in line for hours

yesterday to get get entry to their own

personal cash. However, in most instances, their

business cash, they felt that these

Executives want to be held accountable

if they knew some thing that wasn't

shared with the relaxation of the organization or

those who had their tens of millions. In some

cases tens of thousands and thousands of greenbacks in

this financial institution so sure the Federal Reserve and

the SEC now especially searching at the

chief officer of this employer Greg

Becker the Chief Financial Officer as

well which does not always suggest

that a felony undertaking took region but

they will appear into it to see if that

was in truth the case additionally Senator

Elizabeth Warren these days truely breathing

fire at this organization and its leadership

for or taking dangers no longer simply in how they

invested the money

excuse me there may be simply a bit of

inclement climate right here in Santa Clara

but Senator Warren especially called

out the CEO and I simply desire to examine you

some of what she tweeted a second ago

she stated um Fed chair Powell's actions

directly contributed to these bank

failures and so for the fed's inquiry to

have credibility she desires electricity to

recuse himself from that fed probe into

this employer she additionally despatched a separate

letter that named the CEO of this

company and stated this quote you have

nobody to blame for the failure at your

bank however your self and your fellow

Executives who goes on to write you

lobbied for weaker regulations bought what you

wanted and used this probability to

abdicate your primary obligations to

your customers and the public facilitating

near monetary catastrophe very harsh words

from Senator Warren which of path is

someone a Democrat who has been against

the rest of banking regulations

but it offers you a feel that the anger

against this enterprise is now not simply here

outside by using clients however it is in

Washington as nicely yeah absolutely

really forceful phrases there from Senator

Warren nicely Errol you have been reporting

that human beings have been strolling there to

Silicon Valley Bank to get their money

now the financial institution we apprehend is going through a

lawsuit what are the small print on that

yeah it really is proper Elaine on Monday one

of the shareholders and we have to flag

that it is now not simply the executives who

are out of the job their jobs and under

the highlight however everyone who had shares

in this organisation they've been wiped out

so one shareholder filed a lawsuit on

Monday a classification motion lawsuit

effectively calling all the other

shareholders to be part of them in pronouncing that

these Executives perhaps

hid how their method to make investments in

long-term bonds put property and deposits

here at threat maintain in thinking this financial institution was

carrying extra than 200 billion dollars

and if it weren't for the leisure of

Dodd-Frank years in the past which the CEO of

this business enterprise ruled lobbied towards it

would have under

excuse me once more simply pretty windy it

would have gone through stress exams which

effectively say take a seem at your

assets do you have ample to pay off the

deposits and so that lawsuit is underway

and truely may want to develop in the days

ahead generation Barnett um Errol thank you so

much we be aware of there is a bit of unexpected

weather there however some really

interesting standpoint on what exactly

is taking place there in California thank
