>It is frightening to me people don't seem to understand this. It's absolutely basic money management.
It isn't frightening to me, because the trust people put into banks' reliability is a testament to the fundamental strength of the American financial system. I'd rather have that than the opposite, where everyone is hyper-sensitive about everything and even refuse to use banks at all.
That said, there is no excuse for Roku, for example, to have more than $400 million in uninsured funds at SVB. That is fundamental malpractice on the part of its corporate treasury, CFO, and management.
