"This collapse could have and should have been mitigated. If the media could of reported on it and the short sellers saw it, the @federalreserve  supervisors sure as heck should of seen it." @BloombergTV  @scarletfu  @RomaineBostick  #SVB 

The @federalreserve  can not investigate itself for its own failures in connection with #SVB . An independent investigation is a must. Read our statement.

WATCH: @DennisKelleher  calls for accountability for the #SVB  failure and an independent review of the @federalreserve  's actions. @BloombergTV  @scarletfu  @RomaineBostick 

@arappeport  @jeannasmialek  @nytimes  write on the lack of accountability for those involved with the #SVB  failure and quote our @DennisKelleher , who explains that crises happen for a reason.

@Zachary  @politico  Morning Money continues to do an excellent job examining the #SVB  fallout. This morning he covered our call for a truly independent investigation into what happened.

@Marketplace 's @KA_marketplace  takes a look at the dangerous #Trump  era deregulation that contributed to the #SVB  failure. Our @DennisKelleher  notes “Before the law was passed, banks the size of Silicon Valley Bank would have been tested more frequently."

@DennisKelleher  explains how a combination of @federalreserve  policies after the 2008 crisis, recklessness by #SVB 's officers and directors, and inadequate @federalreserve  supervision led to #SVB 's failure.

@DennisKelleher  tells the @AP 's @ChrisRugaber  & @fatimathefatima  "It's inexplicable how the @federalreserve 's supervisors could not see this clear threat to the safety & soundness of banks and to financial stability." #SVB 

Great column by @hiltzikm  at @latimes  on all the red flags leading up to the #SVB  collapse. “These were visible to anyone who wanted to look. But apparently, the Fed was AWOL.” @DennisKelleher 

@SEC  & @CFTC  are mandated to keep our markets safe for America’s families & investors - but they have been chronically underfunded for years. Congress should support proposed budget increases for these agencies & surge even more resources to them.

Hey, @Reddit  @UniswapWh @wallstreetbets @Fitness4AIIle  @GameStop  want to know wha @citsecurities  is up to now? Rigging the markets to protect their predatory behavior so you LOSE; we filed a legal brief today to stop them. You can read it here:

.: "You stated earlier that you believe consumers own their own data. Do consumers or everyday people explicitly consent to giving their data to you?" A: "There is not a consent" : "So there's no way for them to prevent you from collecting it"

“The GameStop frenzy really ripped the curtain off of the financial system, and kind of the mechanics of how dysfunctional and rigged our current equity markets are,” says @DennisKelleher  in #GamingWallStreet  on @hbomax .

@Citadel , @citsecurities , Ken Griffin and high-frequency traders everywhere have been put on notice by a D.C. circuit opinion that both rejected ALL of Citadel’s arguments and stands up for ALL investors.

The @GameStop  trading frenzy once again revealed the lack of transparency in #ShortSelling  activity. @SECGov ’s proposal will help increase transparency by requiring reporting on short selling activities. Read our comment letter here:

Our securities markets are rigged in favor of Wall Street at the expense of everyday retail investors. So, in @citsecurities  v. @SECGov , we weighed in with an amicus brief to help defend a new order type developed by @IEX , an investor-friendly exchange.

Better Markets today filed an amicus brief w/ DC Circuit supporting @SEC  action that will help retail investors fight back against HFT abuse. Our Steve Hall said outcome of Citadel v. SEC case will have a "huge impact on everyday investors’ ability to protect their money."

Don't believe the whining billionaires.. @SECGov  Chair@GaryGensler 's proposals will increase access, and promote the best interests of retail investors.

#WallStreet 's crime spree continues - with the 6 biggest banks racking up another Billion Dollars in fines in just the last 15 months. That makes nearly $200 billion in fines and settlements over the last 2 decades. Learn more in our Rap Sheet Report.
