New paper from and the blames the 2023 banking crisis on (you guessed it) and Nerd Reich .

@GottaLaff the crypto bros are big mad about the collapse of and Signature banks (AKA "the big crypto banks"). the conspiracy theory they have about the is called "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" if you want to look into it.

(the reality is that Silvergate and Signature banks were massive money laundering hubs, moving literally trillions of dollars a year in untracked funds outside of all money laundering regulations. they were both intimately connected to )

Pranshu Verma & Jacob Bogage: Signature Bank’s collapse spells trouble for industry: As choice institutions fall, companies may be driven to alternative, often riskier, banking options

"Signature Bank, a New York based financial institution with deep ties to the cryptocurrency industry, collapsed over the weekend after depositors made a run on the bank, further roiling the digital assets industry, which has suffered a string of major blows in recent months.

The bank has long been an integral financial institution for the industry, hosting tools for facilitating digital transactions and counting notable crypto companies, such as the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, as its clients. It’s part of a slim group of mainstream banks catering to the needs of cryptocurrency firms and their clients, an area that was upended after the closing of another crypto-friendly bank, Silvergate Capital, last Wednesday.
