> Importantly, SVB was part of the network of cash sweep banks; it had an offer on its website about it. But according to Adam Levitin, there were only $469 million in reciprocal deposits, which is where cash sweep would show up. In other words, almost nobody banking at SVB used them.



Roku had nearly half a _billion_ uninsured at SVB! I get how a small startup maybe overlooks their cash management, but how do you get to the size of Roku and have that? Treasurer/CFO should be fired.


Roku should have been nationalized.
