IN BLANKSTARE NEWS: Making bank off bank failure

Ever since the bank went belly-up, sellers have been flooding the site with SVB-branded goods, from coffee mugs to those pens that were handed out for free at every branch.

Some people lost piles of cash when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed a few days ago. But other folks are swooping in to make big bucks off the disaster -- on E-Bay. Ever since the bank went belly-up, sellers have been flooding the site with SVB-branded goods, from coffee mugs to those pens that were handed out for free at every branch. One E-Bayer is even trying to get $200 for a damaged cardboard box they got as part of their "welcome" package when opening an account. Hey, people bought souvenirs from the Titanic, too.
