    Bank of America rakes in $15 BILLION as panicked customers ditch
    smaller lenders for 'too big to fail' firms in wake of SVB crisis -
    with 'goliaths' like JP Morgan also 'winning', analysts say

    . . .

    Which DOES make us ask if this "banking crisis" was ARRANGED
    by the Big Banks ..............

    In any case, consumers WILL continue to see the Big Banks
    as far "safer". They are not entirely wrong either. Face
    the facts, govts will just NOT let the biggest banks fail -
    can't be allowed. Umpteen million, from average Joes to
    the biggest corps, would be in the streets looking for
    blood - oiling-up the guillotines - if you can't get your
    money back revenge is the next best thing. Human nature.

    Oh, but ONE "big bank" to avoid - Credit Suisse ... it's
    slated as the next to GO DOWN. Its govt suspended trading
    today when its shares slid down 20+ percent in just a
    couple of hours. CS has been shakey for YEARS however,
    mis-management and corruption have dragged it down from
    its formerly godlike status. However, there's a LOT of
    money still in CS and its failure would send tsunami
    waves across the fiscal world, esp the EU, exactly
    when they can't tolerate such shit.
