SVB failed because they had huge amounts of their assets tied up in Government Bonds. The problem with that is that if the Fed jacks up the rates trying to get run away inflation under control, there's no market for the bonds you own that have a lower rate. So you have to sell them at a discount. Was there some regulation that used to be in place that didnt allow banks to invest in Government Bonds?Yes, the Traitor did repeal banking regulations that led to failure of SVB.

NO, the people who invested in SVB will NOT get their money back. When you invest you are taking a gamble of success, but you are also responsible for what you have done. You played and you lost.
Depositors will with accounts up to $250,000.00 will get their money back.
Investors get shit, you fucked up eat it.
