Gregory Becker, former Silicon Valley Bank CEO; Scott Shay, former Signature Bank chair and co-founder; and Michael Roffler, former First Republic Bank CEO and president, testified at a a House Financial Services joint subcommittee hearing on the failure of their regional banks. The witnesses named several factors leading to their financial institutions' collapse, including rapid growth, the impact of digital assets, and rapid deposit withdrawals spurred by fears caused by social media reports. They also addressed executive compensation, risk management, and poor governance. Regulators from California and New York in the second panel testified on the two banks' failures.

They acknowledged the role of regulators, saying they should have responded more promptly and exercised greater oversight. close
