Reply to comment by vlsdo in [OC] Bank failures come in waves by pranshum

This is a great analogy. What we saw in the past three waves was a handful of failures that triggered a "flight to safety". Customers started moving their money to safer places; i.e. larger banks or liquid assets. That left smaller banks without the required capital reserves, which led to more failures and more withdrawals.
