The banks collapsing that are being bought out by JP Morgan are the ones playing ball with the new transition from LIBOR to SOFR benchmark interest rate system.
It's just like in 1998 when Long Term Capital collapsed (5 Billion in assets at its height but was invested $1.2 Trillion in derivatives). Back then was a GFC crisis too that threatened the US Monetary System but it was still small enough for the big banks to bail out and buy up Long Term Capital. The only 2 financial institutions that didn't play ball and contribute any to Long Term Capital were Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers. We all missed this because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal which so "coincidentally" was plaing on the news stations at the same time.
So in 2008 JP Morgan decided not to buy Bear Sterns and Lehman brothers out during the 2008 GFC event saying it was "a bad investment". In reality it's just because they didn't play ball during the 1998 Long Term Capital downfall event.
Everything from the Long Term Capital side in 1998 I got from the end of the Audio book of "When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long Term Capital". (The theory of JP Morgan buying out banks that play ball is just my speculation but it fits with what has happened in the past and explains these banks going illiquid if they switched every contract they have from LIBOR to SOFR).

Three failed US banks had one thing in common: KPMG

Wonder what other banks they audited? Looks like PacWest and Western Alliance Bank are down significantly in after hours trading today.
If Q has all the comms, it would be interesting to see any there are any communications between members of this firm and deep state players in government.

Note KPMG audits the Federal Reserve, too.
DOJ gonna investigate KPMG like they did Arthur Andersen after Enron?

Hey bro, that's an excellent info. It's like saying our Resident saying we are in the best job market while everything collapsed around him.
