The optics aren’t always good when you fly 1st class to your Maui oceanfront home after something like this.

  1. Disgusting toad. What a joke this bank was/is. Just take a gander at the 12 board members and their “qualifications”. Only one of the 12 members have any kind of banking or finance background. What could go wrong? 😠

    1. And the Lone Board Members Credentials are Sorely Lacking. He was only there for a Year! The Board just needed someone to give them temporary credibility.

  2. With all of the Stress and Finger Pointing who could possibly blame Greg Becker and his wife for escaping California for Maui. Now they can regroup their thoughts and begin the Executive Job Search, Greg is currently unemployed. How fortunate they Greg pulled their tens of millions from the Bank before it failed, even so how can they possibly afford too much, no paycheck coming in. Is there a “Go Fund Me” account setup for them yet? It must be Tough! Maybe the Federal Reserve has an opening 🤔

  3. As Yoda might have said: “A bit tabloidy this article was.” This bankster isn’t even that extravagant in his tastes. A Mini Cooper? A refurbished condo? Chain burger restaurants ? United First Class? Hardly status symbols in this day and age. Not impressed.

    1. Ah, Mighty Short and Green Yoda, he’s not employed anymore, they must be cutting costs wherever they are able. I keep wondering when the Force will be knocking on their door to take statements, will they be illusive in their memories? Possibly Janet Yellen needs help at the Federal Reserve, certainly many will be receptive to his resume.

      1. Ernesto, so true. But as others have stated, isn’t he exactly the type of tourist that we need and want here in Hawaii? As long as he doesn’t try to open a bank here, I’m cool with him. In fact, I’m driving over to the Westside to see if I can share a coffee or beer with him. I have this amazingly great idea that needs venture capital funding. Can’t provide too many details, but it involves coconuts and small battery operated drones. That’s all I can say. Mahalo!

        1. Eldo, I am fairly certain that your perception of a viable business venture worth backing is “spot on” and if for some reason it doesn’t garner the proper response, I could make it a point to “visit” and engage in “negotiations” for you. Sometimes, Eldo, Experience is needed for proper responses. Good Luck with the Business.

  4. I just love how you guys bust these folks chops & show how they immediately run away from their problems to paradise! The woman who is on trial for murdering her children did the same thing…unbelievable!

      1. A pre-planned family vacation that was on the schedule but I do Agree that the actual circumstances should have postponed it. Disasters occur, especially when, and where, over dependency on Wind and Solar Energy is concerned. Been warning ⚠️ about this for a Long Time. Senator Cruz should have rescheduled his family vacation, plain and simple.

    1. It begins to make me wonder if the Woman believed that Hawaii could be a great place to fight extradition while working on her tan! 🤔 Maybe she “thought” that she could hide out there and avoid Prosecution altogether or possibly escape to another country where extradition isn’t a problem. Never know what the “Troubled and Devious Mind” thinks!

  6. Where to start? The in your face corruption and and outright theft of millions while running a bank into the ground. I hope there is justice coming but when it’s practiced in the White House also I’m not counting on it
    Disgusting people!

  7. He’s a scumbag and should lose everything. He was well aware of the situation with SVB and just like all of these executives, made his money off the sweat of others. He should be publicly crucified.

    1. Not technically a bailout like we saw in 2008. SVB is dead – it’s gone. It’s only the depositors, the average schlubs like you and me who kept their money there, that are being rescued by the gub’ment. Bank investors and executives are getting zilch.

      1. There are no “average schlubs” at that bank in Silicon Valley. You needed clout to bank there. Half of its loans were for venture capitalists and private equity firms, and Gavin Newsom is one of their clients.
