Not sure I follow the logic. SVB is done right? Saving the companies that banked there is very different than saving the bank. Yes, it might invite more risk by big banks if they know there is a parachute for their clients, but if we close the bank anyways or clear out all parties involved and they have large black marks then there are deterrents (theoretically at least). I like that the gov is acting more like a scrappy company here and getting some shit done when the stakes are high. I dunno, just spitballing here, curious about the counterpoint.
