Former Silicon Valley Bank CEO says rate hikes, withdrawals sank firm
The bank was responsive to regulator concerns about its risk management and working to address issues when an "unprecedented" bank run led to its failure, Becker wrote in prepared testimony published on Monday by the Senate Banking Committee.
