I don't know what your views on all this is.

The problem is many of your peers in your space actively advocate, lobby, and spend lots of $$$ to reduce regulations whose aim is to try to prevent this sort of stuff. SVB themselves were pushing to be exempt from stress tests in Dodd-Frank, which they were successful at achieving back in 2018. If regulation is really a concern, why continue banking at a company that was actively lobbying to be exempt from regulations that already existed?

Anyways, I'm not gonna pass judgement either way. People make mistakes. However, it's a constant battle, and when ground is gained its easily lost. It's a tireless fight against monied interests trying to make more money in any way possible. People are going to understandably be frustrated at petitions like this.
