🍴 About to dig in to the congressional report on covid relief / #PPP loan scams. @CrossRiverBank's name comes up 16 times when I ctrl-f.
Reminder this is the most important crypto bank in America. It's @Coinbase and @Circle's bank, among others.

@crossriverbank @coinbase @circle 🧵2/Ω
@CrossRiverBank et al. "specialized in dubious loans" and "did not get better over time" as "lenders often doubled or tripled their potential misreporting rates in round 3 compared to rounds 1 and 2."
Sounds like (extremely) willful negligence. @oooitscrime

@CrossRiverBank's executives anticipated that people would try to commit #PPP / covid relief fraud early in 2020 (w/in months of American pandemic's start), and yet as noted above 👆 they issued increasing percentages of fraudulent loans (and pocketed increasing fees).

🧵1/Ω A few things about @crossriverbank, a tiny #a16z funded lender that originated more #PPP loans for "small businesses" than anyone besides Chase, BofA, and Wells Fargo, mostly for people who were not their customers.
Also @coinbase's preferred bank.

🧵2/Ω They paid @McKinsey a bunch of money to tell the world that "while most banks originated PPP loans to their own customers, Cross River leads in originations to new customers"

🧵3/Ω Unlike other banks that blew up on "fund banking" recently (*cough* $SBNY $SIVB *cough*) @crossriverbank does their "fund banking" differently:
They package all the loans and sell them to weird "fintech" companies like @Upstart. @mikulaja
