The fact that depositors were almost assured of getting the overwhelming majority of their money after a fairly short period of time is part of why this move was so insane. The rich people weren't even going to take more than a minor loss on this, if any at all! Any reasonably well run company caught out of sorts by this would have been able to find a way to get some cash flow for the time period between now and when their money re-appeared and any rich person caught out by this would have simply had a little less money for a few weeks or maybe a few months at most. There was no need to do this!

Repostin for the new thread

This is an insanely shaky pull but First Republic iirc was one of the worst of the mbs issuing banks in the aughts and was bailed out twice thru deals engineered with the fed govt

quote:

On January 29, 2007, First Republic announced they would be purchased by Merrill Lynch for $1.8 billion.[11] The company was to be operated as a separate business of Merrill Lynch.[12] The Merrill transaction was finalized on September 21, 2007. Robert J. McCann, president of Merrill's Global Wealth Management group stated their purpose was to accelerate their strategy of "growing our high net worth, private banking business."[13] Over the same weekend that Lehman Brothers Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, on September 15, 2008, Merrill Lynch and its subsidiaries were acquired by Bank of America.[14]

In October 2009, Bank of America sold First Republic Bank to a group of private investors.

What has it been up to recently?

quote:

First Republic is preparing a private-label residential mortgage-backed securities transaction and could be the first bank to launch this type of deal since the coronavirus initially roiled U.S. markets in mid-March.

"Prior to COVID happening, the market was having its best year since the [2007-2008] crisis happened, but having the pandemic just really changed plans for everyone," said Susan Hosterman, senior director at Fitch Ratings. "Now we're starting to see issuance come back."

Are any mainstream media or politicians gonna mention this?

Next week, but CPI is tomorrow. If it's still elevated that makes it much less likely that the Fed pauses.
