Indeed, regulators treated Silicon Valley Bank´s core strategy of investing in government bonds as essentially risk free, blind to the dangers posed by a rapid rise in interest rates. The bank took big risks to grow quickly by gathering and investing money from a wide range of tech start-ups; its shareholders cheered, and its auditors and regulators did nothing to interfere.

The failures in recent days ended the second-longest stretch without a bank failure since the Great Depression. On average, an American bank failed every three days between 1980 and 1994. The pace of failures reached similar heights in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, but since then failures have been much less common. Those changes, including the safeguards imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, were, largely, to the good.

After a decade of operating in near-obscurity, lies about ERIC began bubbling up from the fever swamps, such as that George Soros was behind the project and that the initiative is a left-wing plot to add more racial minorities to the voter rolls.
