PacWest on the Ropes with Comerica to Follow Fed Collins on the Board as FRB Says All Good

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

FEDERAL COURTHOUSE, May 4 – After the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in New York, next was First Republic Bank.

  On on May 3, PacWest Bank's shares tumbled, also those of Western Alliance, Zions and Comerica -- which has former Federal Reserve big wig Michael E. Collins cashing in on its board.

Meanwhile the Federal Reserve Board in Washington assures that all's well - as it denies FOIA requests about its regulation, notably lax on fair lending and the Community Reinvestment Act.

  At 3 am Eastern time on May 1, the First Republic (and $13 billion) was given to JPMorgan Chase, which is already over the "maximum" 10% of US deposits threshold - and whose CEO Jamie Dimon has been ordered deposed about his knowledge of, and link to, the pedophile conspiracy of Jeffrey Epstein. It's come to this.

   The JPM Chase complaint is on Patreon, here.

On March 20, 2023 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff in a bottom line order dismissed some but not all claims, in the Epstein-related cases against JPMC and Deutsche Bank.

Inner City Press,, which reports daily on the SDNY (and the Community Reinvestment Act evasions of Chase and other banks like KeyCorp) put the order on its DocumentCloud here.

  There was no public input into the sell-off, including into how many of First Republic's 84 branches for example in New York City will be closed.

  Back on April 18, after a telephone conference without transcription, Judge Rakoff ordered: "Jamie Dimon should be set aside two days for his deposition. On the first day, plaintiffs will have the opportunity to depose Mr. Dimon for a combined total of five hours. Mr. Staley will have the opportunity to depose Mr. Dimon for two hours. If, at the end of the first day, any party believes that it needs more time to depose Mr. Dimon, it must convene a joint call to Chambers by no later than 5:00 PM to explain why. The Court will then rule as to whether Mr. Dimons deposition should continue for a second day and, if so, for how long."

Will that call be open to the press and public?
