FWIW, Lehman Bros had $680B in assets. SVB had about $211B.
I know completely different reasons and structure, but still a little reassuring that SVB is no where near the size of Lehman.
No idea how to assess the likelihood of contagion. Have to trust the FDIC or whoever has the eye on the ball here. It'd be interesting to be a fly on the wall in those meetings.
