How does John Thornhill appear in Issue.7?
After writing that the Biden administration announced that all depositors at the failed Silicon Valley Bank would have access to their money, the author places two blocks credited to the Financial Times. The first says that the rescue may be a pragmatic move to protect blameless depositors, according to FT Innovation Editor John Thornhill, but that some will take exception to helping an industry that often rails against regulation and tycoons who appear to favor the privatization of profits and the socialization of losses.
The second block cites Ken Griffin. The author then writes that what is to unfold next is not yet known. He does not comment on Thornhill's view.
