The CEO of Silicon Valley Bank sold $3.57m of stock in a pre-planned, automated sell-off two weeks before it collapsed – and the CFO ditched $575,000 the same day.

Greg Becker sold 12,451 shares at an average price of $287.42 each on February 27. The price plunged to just $39.49 in premarket Friday before the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) seized the bank’s assets.

The day his sale went through, Becker bought the same number of shares using stock options priced at $105.18 each, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The options, which allow you to buy a company’s stock at a set price, were due to expire May 2. The transactions were made through a trust that he controls, using a trading plan that he had set up on January 26, records show.

SVB’s CFO Daniel Beck sold 2,000 shares at $287.59 per share on the same day as his boss. He set up his trading plan on January 24.

Company insiders often use such plans to execute trades when certain conditions are met, such as price and volume. This serves to remove any potential that they may use their knowledge to beat the market.

  1. AHh yes the orchestrated collapsing of the banks.. scare tactics. They are safe the next day…. You believe this and you need to rethink what it is they are really doing while you have your head in the sand. Thank you Galen!! Stay safe sister!

  2. The Fed gives a little back today in the market to calm the pre orchetraded bank collapses.. not much though the banks are getting pumped with Fed fiat dollars and Bitcon is being kept alive by the FED!!! Most ordinary folks have lost huge retirement dollars. They just dont fight.. to old!!! WE SEE IT WE HEAR IT It is reality. I prefer silver in my fckg hand!!!!
