Because you don't actually need all $175B in deposits to stop a bank run?Sorry but can someone connect the dots between $400M in loans in relation to a $175B in deposits? The run on the bank was precipitated by a multi billion dollar loss on long-duration treasuries so while this issue might be interesting and separately problematic, I don't see how it relates to the run on SVB.
Regardless- it's more about the trend (200% increase Q/Q), and the red flags that it could mean elsewhere (if they were that lax in this area, what about other stuff, etc). Separately, it turns out their CRO left in early '22, and they never replaced her, so yeah... there were a ton of red flags.
