Why would Credit Suisse have to go to the Saudis and kick off this whole mess if they could just get a loan from their own government?

The amount of money involved I believe. They lost $8,000,000,000 last year after losing shitloads in the past few years. This is prompting more withdrawals from the bank which have also been accelerating in recent years. This is on top of them being criminally negligent.

It's like getting money to buy a car but still needing to ask people for money to get the car because your gambling habit comes first. Then everyone that you owe money to shows up to take back their stuff because you aren't trustworthy anymore.

Orvin posted:

Second question, is this really a loan? If things are that bad at CS, is there really any hope of paying it back? It’s kinda like giving a junkie another hit. You know they are going to just piss away this cash over time and wind up crawling back to the government for more liquidity.

It isn't about being paid back. The modern globalized banking system is a literal house of cards and it's in every participant and benefactors best interest to keep things functioning, even if it means some lost profits. Most of us with massive debt and no money hooting for collapse are the weird ones to the money havers of the world.

It's the same reason the US Government actually passed one of the most beneficial bills in decades when Covid shut down the economy.

It's why we bailed out the literal worst example of useless excess in Silicon Valley Bank.

It's why Obama bailed out and rewarded Wall Street for 2008.

If the system that gives the rich their balances is threatened it will be protected by every world government. If Credit Suisse just folded up tomorrow then the tens of trillions of fake money leveraged on top of however much money they actually had is an immediate loss in ledgers worldwide. Then those banks are in trouble. Etc.

No one knows due to the ability of governments to just go "Nuh Uh" lately

Normally I'd say we are in trouble due to an obviously spreading banking contagion but it seems like everyone is just immediately getting promised a bailout whether it's possible or not to stamp out any instability in the system.

The system is made out of instability though so it'll either work or it won't.

So the question isn't if they can wriggle out of this because they are to some extent, but what does them being bailed out mean w/r/t the results of having that money be given to them? They aren't going to make that back unless they find a shitload of real wealth to invest into that wasn't invested into before, so this is just slowly building up inflation right?

Like does inflation happen quicker if they raise rates but keep bailing out?

But they explicitly refuse to part with it so it may as well not be there for Credit Suisse? You have to give more money to them not take it away like what would happen if they went belly up. The ledger keeps going up.

It seems like they'll have to do that until it starts breaking things faster than they can fix them.

SA is tiny by 2023 standards, but the thing is it was a major presence in the 00s, and all the old heads get to benefit from that longevity/tenure presence in terms of influence, so anyone who's big today is highly likely to be at least 1-2 degrees away from goondom.

The explosion of the Internet over the past 15 decade has been largely adding normies to the audience.
