There is one real culprit behind the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, writes Zachary Karabell

Inside Money: Brown Brothers Harriman and the American Way of Poweror the past year, the Federal Reserve has raised short-term interest rates at the fastest pace since the early 1980s in an attempt to curb the hottest inflation since the early 1980s. But in its zeal to tame inflation, the Fed has been seemingly indifferent to all the ways that sudden sharp shifts in the economic wind can have unintended and potentially severe side effects.

, the stock plummeted and federal and state regulators stepped in and took over. Two days after that, regulators seized New York-based Signature Bank, which had over $100 billion in deposits.

The mismanagement of the balance sheet; in one hand you gain 2% for asset, in the other you pay 4 or 5% for liability without edging or backing up . Now the FED may have to keep or lower the rate to avoid farther lost. It's the window for E- money and side down the b-coin.

btw the take in this article is bullshit. Acts like the actors were just magically utilizing the situation. This is Silicone Valley's Icesave.

What is the culprit
