    First Republic,the 18th largest bank in the USA appears to be in big trouble.
    After hours last night it has lost more than 20%.
    Down 44+% currently.
    It looks like it will be sold to another bank. They are trying an asset sale,but that did not work out well for Signature bank or SVB.

    Apparently they did not donate to the correct people or are not woke enough.

    I will be shocked if it is even open come Monday 5/1/2023. The FED is likely restricting it from the discount window and emergency leding. It has had over 100billion in deposit withdraws,and is now worth less than a billion. Stock was halted in trading today.



    2/1/2023 First Republic Bank was worth $129.86 per share. Today 4/26/2023 trading was halted multiple times and it is worth 5 dollars and 69 cents at the close. That is a long way down.

    Looks like the government is involved now. How do you think it will go considering the bank,like most mid and small banks has a losing treasury stockpile and a commercial lending book that is almost nothing but red(not even to mention the 100 billion in deposits that fled just in the first quarter of 2023)?

    Bear in mind that the 'Big Banks' have $30 billion in deposits at the embattled bank... so the FDIC has a problem already.

    More detail on the above statement of 30 billion(plenty of mainstream sources for that figure as well).

    Ever since 11 banks on March 16 donned the garb of heroic fire fighters, rushing to extinguish an inferno at a competitor bank before it spread further, we have been asking ourselves the question – why just this group of 11 banks.


    We’re talking about the action on March 16 when 11 banks chipped in a total of $30 billion and bizarrely placed those funds as uninsured deposits into First Republic Bank – which was in full scale unraveling mode because of bond losses and – wait for it – too many uninsured deposits. Four banks contributed two-thirds of the total deposits with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo ponying up $5 billion each. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs deposited $2.5 billion each; while BNY Mellon, State Street, PNC Bank, Truist and U.S. Bank each deposited $1 billion, together making up the other one-third of the $30 billion.

    Yesterday, we had an epiphany. We pulled up the most recent table from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency showing the 25 bank holding companies that have the largest exposure to derivatives. Sure enough, each of those 11 banks is on the list. (See page 19 at this link.) The data is as of December 31, 2022.


    Equally noteworthy, the four banks that chipped in the giant sums of $5 billion each, control 58 percent of the total $247 trillion notional (face amount) in derivatives controlled by all 25 banks.

    rest of the story is at the below link. It is not good.

    "Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe," President Joe Biden said in a statement last month. "Your deposits are safe. Let me also assure you, we will not stop at this. We'll do whatever is needed."

    See. Everything is ok.

    Pac West down nearly 75% in the last year. Two more dropping this morning as well. Good times coming guys. . . and ladies.

    "In premarket trading on Thursday, PacWest was down about 37 percent. Two other regional lenders, Western Alliance and Zions Bancorp, fell 19 percent and 10 percent."
