Silicon Valley Bank executives sold $84M in stock in the weeks before the bank collapsed — the largest bank failure since 2008 — documented evidence
INVESTIGATING

In the weeks before Silicon Valley Bank's March 2023 collapse, CEO Greg Becker sold $3.6 million in stock, CFO Daniel Beck sold $575,000, and other insiders sold a combined $84 million. The bank had reported unrealized losses of $15 billion on its bond portfolio. The FDIC seized the bank on March 10, 2023, making it the second-largest bank failure in US history. The Federal Reserve's 2023 post-mortem found SVB management 'failed to manage basic interest rate and liquidity risk.' SEC and DOJ investigations are ongoing.
