Following the biggest three-day decline streak since 1987, the group announced that it has been contacted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding certain open SEC comments about the technical assessment of previously disclosed revisions to the consolidated cash flow statements in the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, as well as related controls.

This announcement has aroused suspicion among experts and traders who are seeking to identify the next targeted bank to bet on for a collapse, after SVB, Signature, and First Republic, which has not yet been taken over by the FDIC but its stock has fallen by 60%.
