"In addition to JPMorgan, PNC and other banks bid on Sunday to the FDIC to buy the bank in “a highly competitive bidding process,” the FDIC said in a statement.
Not everyone is buying that.
“It’s clear that all the ‘bids’ for First Republic Bank were never really real,” according to a tweet from The Kobeissi Letter, an industry commentator on global capital markets. “First Republic tried to sell itself for weeks, no one offered … Multiple ‘bidders’ were said to be in the process, but the FDIC had to seize First Republic. Finally, the FDIC agreed to cover $13 billion in losses and loan JP Morgan $50 billion to buy it. This wasn’t an auction, the FDIC had to break rules and compensate JP Morgan to ‘save’ the system.”

JPMorgan Chase owns most of the Federal Reserve System which raised interest rates that caused these bank failures. Now JPMorgan Chase is gobbling up other banks. Was it a competitive bidding process or is that all a sham?
