Yeah these sorts of figures always frustrate me because the historical context for these things is so much broader, and it seems obvious to me to go back to the 80s, if not earlier.

There's a better figure here I think:

TIL there was a different "First Republic Bank" that failed in 1988. This name carries a curse now.
If you're not even digging deep enough to avoid naming your firm after a failed one, what else are you missing?
