PCP and dental practices are much harder to roll up. The doctors start a competitor, and bring their patients, the second the non-compete ends wiping the practice that was bought

It’s a letter of credit not line of credit. It’s basically a certified check in a way.

This is super simple. Twitter put a deposit (think rental deposit) down on their lease in 2020. Instead of depositing $900k with the landlord they deposited 900k into a bank. In turn the bank issued a $900k letter of credit to the landlord who can use the funds in the same fashion a deposit could be used. This is done because LOCs are harder for other creditors to seize in bankruptcy court.

At some point Twitter stopped paying their rent and I’m sure there is a clause in the lease that allows the LL to draw down the letter of credit to pay the rent. Twitter also has an obligation the replenish the LOC.

Inflows from weaker banks will cause larger banks to increase lending activity as they accumulate dry powder. Banks are in the business of lending and having deposits burns a hole in their pants.

I have a line of credit from them - will that terminate. The line of credit rate is dependent on me making deposits there and a min deposit.

It’s probably because the parentco is filing. Need to see the BK filing to understand.
