Massie is all mouth ... nothing more than an attention whore like Paul & Comer. True embarrassments to KY ... all bitch and no solutions.

As for the action President Biden took ... I agree with it from a basic right vs. wrong perspective. The depositors didn't do anything wrong other than choosing the wrong bank. As I said earlier, this is simply a case of a risky business model coupled with mismanagement. Therefore, since usually most of the stock is held by upper management and the BoD, I approve of protecting the depositors while allowing the investors to take the hit.

It also had the side benefit of cooling off the situation that likely prevented other knee jerk reactions from other depositors at other banks.

I was out of banking for many years before the 2018 deregulation occurred, so I have no first hand knowledge of how this played into everyday management decisions, but from nearly 3 decades of prior experience, I can say that deregulation is a terrible concept in the financial sector, because it completely excludes the most potentially volatile variable ... GREED!!!

The depositors who benefited all had over $250K on deposit in the bank. This isn't Ma and Pa Kettle who didn't have the means to understand the riskiness of the business model and that the bank was on thin ice.

Whether or not the depositors did anything wrong doesn't matter. They did NOT have a claim to the money that JB gifted them. And for JB to say that this will not cost the taxpayers anything is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Had an interesting conversation with an independent long haul trucker this evening that I ran into on the side of the highway...he's saying work is drying up and loads are going cheap right now to the point of breaking even. Says it's the worst he's seen in several years for the owner-operators. He told me to get ready.
