Latest Bank To Collapse Is Same One That Closed Trump’s Accounts After Jan 6th
Previously called for President’s resignation

A third U.S. bank has failed in the space of a week, and this time its the same one that closed President Trump’s accounts two years ago, reasoning that it would not do business with Trump after January 6th.
Signature bank in New York was shut down by US regulators on Sunday, according to a joint statement from the Federal Reserve, US Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), noting that the lender “was closed by its state chartering authority.”
It comes after SVB bank and California-based crypto-focused Silvergate also failed.
The statement further notes that “[SVB] depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13… We are announcing a similar systemic risk exception for Signature Bank… all depositors of this institution will be made whole. As with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer.”
Analysts were quick to point out that Signature severed lending to Trump and called for the then President to resign in January 2021.

At the time a statement from Signature read “We have never before commented on any political matter and hope to never do so again. However, as Americans we are deeply, deeply saddened by the rioting and insurrection which took place in the most sacred of American institutions, our United States Capitol.”
It continued, “We witnessed the President of the United States encouraging the rioters and refraining from calling in the National Guard to protect the Congress in its performance of duty.”
“At this point in time, to ensure the peaceful transition of power, we believe the appropriate action would be the resignation of the President of the United States, which is in the best interests of our nation and the American people,” the bank added.
Trump held two accounts with the bank, according to reports, with over 5 million dollars invested in them.
The latest collapse comes after revelations of how SVB was also heavily concentrating on woke policies.
Remember that time Signature Bank cut ties with President Trump and called for his resignation? Or that time SVB and Signature started going woke?

Trump previously warned that “if you put the wrong person in office,” there would be a huge economic crash on the scale of 1929:

Instead of preventing billions in losses, the Fed was worrying about board diversity and Yellen was flying to Ukraine.

Video: Amid Banking Collapse, White House Says “We See A Strong Economy”
Strange choice of words

As inflation continues to skyrocket and amid huge banking collapses, the White House press secretary declared Wednesday that the Biden administration “sees a strong economy.”
CBC’s Caitlin Huey-Burns asked Karine Jean-Pierre about Joe Biden’s support for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and what the Fed is doing to attempt to reduce inflation.
“We understand what the American people are feeling, that is why we have made it a priority to do everything that we can to lower costs for Americans,” Jean-Pierre responded.
Then came the kicker.
“We do not see a recession or pre-recession. We see a strong economy and it’s because of the work that this president has done,” Jean-Pierre declared.

When asked if there will be an economic downturn owing to two giant bank collapses, KJP had no answer, other than to quote the Fed chairman saying the economy is sound:

Elon Musk Responds To Biden’s “Pay Your Fair Share” Tax Tweet
“I paid more income tax than anyone ever in the history of Earth”

20 March, 2023Steve Watson

The world’s richest man Elon Musk has responded to a tweet sent out by Joe Biden calling for higher taxes for billionaires, noting that he’s paid more tax than any human ever in the history of the planet.
Biden sent out the following tweet calling on rich people to “pay your fair share,” along with a claim that the average tax billionaires pay is three percent.
Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share.
— President Biden (@POTUS) March 18, 2023
I think you ought to pay a minimum tax of 25%.
It’s about basic fairness. pic.twitter.com/oHgreYCdUz
Musk responded, noting that he paid a whopping 53 percent tax on Tesla stock options at both the state and federal level, and that he paid more taxes than any person on Earth in 2021 ($11 billion) and will do so again for the 2022 fiscal year.
Musk also called for a fact check on Biden’s three percent claim.
I paid 53% taxes on my Tesla stock options (40% Federal & 13% state), so I must be lifting the average!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 18, 2023
I also paid more income tax than anyone ever in the history of Earth for 2021 and will do that again in 2022.@CommunityNotes, is the 3% number cited above accurate?
Musk’s call led to the following correction from the Tax Foundation being added to Biden’s tweet, showing how Biden is either just flat wrong or lying:

Others chimed in on Musk’s comments:

The country would be much better off if you were able to keep that money, and were able to invest it productively, rather than turning it over to government to blow it on consumption. Our nation will suffer a lower standard of living as a result.
— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) March 19, 2023
Correct, its horrifying to see what they waste our money on. They burn it, they send it to Ukraine launder and spread to their friends and back to themselves.
— Myamoto Musashi (@M3yamotoMusashi) March 20, 2023
Imagine how much better the world would be if instead of Elon Musk paying millions in taxes, he could invest those millions in new technologies (and of course the colony on Mars).

They can’t even manage their own spend and they expect billionaires to cover it. Even if you taxed billionaires 100% it wouldn’t stop our fundamental issues.
— Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (@teslaownersSV) March 18, 2023
While others had some choice responses for Biden:
How much tax did you pay on the 10% 🤨
— Yanky (@Yanky_Pollak) March 19, 2023
Does that include the money you sold us out for to Ukraine and the CCP?
— Lori Mills (@LoriMills4CA42) March 19, 2023
The claim that billionaires pay only 3% taxes is highly deceptive. It's based on counting unrealized capital gains as income–which they're not. Look–we can have a debate about how much to tax people, but let's keep the debate honest.
— Michael Isenberg (@TheMikeIsenberg) March 18, 2023
Except most billionaires are employing hundreds if not thousands. They're contributing to the growth and sustainability of society. They should be incentivized for that, not punished.
— Joel Bodker (@Joelbodker) March 18, 2023
There should be a flat tax for all citizens, regardless of income. That is true equality.
Stop laundering billions of our tax dollars to Ukraine and give us back the 10% you got from it big guy 🖕

SVB’s London Bankers Received Up To $36 Million In Bonuses Days After BoE-Orchestrated Bailout
Published

19 March, 2023Zero Hedge

Bankers at the London branch of Silicon Valley Bank reportedly received tens of millions of dollars in bonuses just days after the Bank of England orchestrated a rescue package that led to Europe’s largest lender, HSBC, buying the failed bank’s subsidary for just £1, Sky News reports.
Sources described the bonus pool as “modest”, and said it totalled between £15m and £20m.
It was unclear on Saturday how much had been awarded to Erin Platts, the UK bank’s chief executive or her senior colleagues.
One insider said the bonus payments were a signal of HSBC’s confidence in the talent base at its new subsidiary and that the buyer had been keen to honour previously agreed payments in order to help retain key staff. –Sky
What’s more, bonuses were reportedly doled out to US staff just hours before the Santa Clara, California-based bank collapsed. The bank was taken into FDIC ownership, while SVB Financial Group has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it looks to find buyers for their remaining assets.
The UK arm of (formerly) SVB employs around 700 people. The London branch’s ‘guided demolition’ was coordinated with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who played a pivotal role in an emergency auction that drew interest from several challenger banks, including the Bank of London and Oaknorth.
According to insiders, if HSBC hadn’t stepped up, the bonuses wouldn’t have been paid, while another insider pointed out that stock held by senior executives and other employees had been rendered worthless amid the implosion.
“The UK’s tech sector is genuinely world-leading and of huge importance to the British economy, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs,” said chancellor Jeremy Hunt. “We have worked urgently to deliver on that promise and find a solution that will provide SVB UK’s customers with confidence.”
“[This] ensures customer deposits are protected and can bank as normal, with no taxpayer support.”
The government had been lobbied intensively last weekend by hundreds of tech entrepreneurs about the parlous state of SVB UK.
They warned of “an existential threat to the UK tech sector”, adding: “The Bank of England’s assessment that SVB going into administration would have limited impact on the UK economy displays a dangerous lack of understanding of the sector and the role it plays in the wider economy, both today and in the future.”
The founders warned Mr Hunt that the collapse of SVB UK would “cripple the sector and set the ecosystem back 20 years”. -Sky
“Many businesses will be sent into involuntary liquidation overnight,” were SVB UK not rescued, wrote the entrepreneurs.
