Can't you understand what's happening here? Don't you see what's happening? Potter isn't selling. Potter's buying! And why? Because we're panicking and he's not. That's why. He's picking up some bargains. Now, we can get through this thing all right. We've got to stick together, though. We've got to have faith in each other.

You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.

Cash on hand

On Thursday morning, the bank had a market cap of more than $15 billion and by Friday, its $209 billion in assets and $175 billion in deposits made it the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, according to the FDIC.3 days ago

At 20 cents on the dollar, you would need $41.8 Billion to buy all the assets. Didn't realize you were that flush. Can't you spare a Billion for a new football stadium?


HSBC is purchasing the bank for one pound. Seems like you got underbid by over $40 billion.

How stupid is Silicon Valley Bank for not accepting Potter’s offer? They really are the George Bailey of banks.

He's making an offer for the debt, not the assets, though I'm not quite sure he knows the difference.
