As lines (real and virtual) full of anxious depositors grew last week outside of Silicon Valley Bank branches around the world, and reassurances of "liquidity" were gushed from the C-Suite, three individuals within the firm were perhaps less troubled than those seeking their hard-earned cash back from the soon-to-be-failed bank. 12 days ago (on Feb 27th), Gregory Becker, the  CEO of Silicon Valley Bank, sold $3.6 million worth (11%) of his shares ...
