So let's get this straight. You want a bank who will take risks willy-nilly on start-ups. But you also want that bank to be subject to regulations to prevent banks from taking risks. But those regulations exist, and SVB begged for exemptions to them, so they could take risks. But your experience with more-regulated banks shows that they're too risk averse. What exactly are you asking for here?

You want your flock made whole. I get that. But are you also asking for regulators to kill the startup economy by shutting it out of banking?
