In this episode of WDOWS , we go back to the 2023 regional bank meltdown — Silicon Valley, Signature, First Republic — and uncover why the rot in private credit, bad loans, and commercial real estate was never truly cleaned up. From Jamie Dimon’s “cockroach” warning to the extend-and-pretend game keeping zombie banks alive, this is a deep dive into Wall Street’s dirty secret: the big boys always win, and the small lenders (and borrowers) get crushed.
