Even though the bank had lots of assets and<br />

plenty money in the vaults, the market was<br />

very nervous after the demise of two big<br />

American banks (one of them being Silicone<br />

Valley Bank) and reacted with panic. This sent<br />

the bank’s shares into freefall, losing 30%<br />

value in one day.<br />

That huge and sudden drop made investors<br />

and other clients panic even more! Eventually,<br />

the Swiss banking regulators had to get<br />

involved and brokered a big deal to get<br />

another bigger bank to buy them.<br />

The buy-out deal had some unusual decisions<br />

that have made certain types of bond holders<br />

worldwide very angry and others very nervous.<br />

That chaos is still going on.<br />
