"...U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in a telephone conversation with Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexei Stolyarov (Lexus), praised the head of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina.
“The
Russians managed to avoid the most severe consequences of the sanctions. We all know the head of the Central Bank of Russia, she handles all quite well. She is an uncommonly capable specialist, she is very knowledgeable and intelligent. She will do everything to ensure that the Russians avoid sanctions as much as possible,” the U.S. Federal Reserve chair said...."

First Republic Bank Teeters on the Brink of Collapse
First Republic Bank (FRC) is teetering on the brink of collapse as shares fell to new all-time lows on reports the federal government and the nation’s biggest banks are reluctant to put together a rescue package.
The beleaguered lender reported deposit outflows of more than $100 billion in the first quarter, or 40% of the total.
That figure would have exceeded 50% if not for a $30 billion injection of uninsured deposits from 11 of the nation’s biggest banks in March.
In response, shares of FRC plunged almost 50% yesterday, and are down another 30% today. The bank’s market cap fell below $1 billion in intraday trading, a small fraction of its $40 billion peak in November 2021. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio fell as low as 0.7. The stock’s volatility prompted the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to halt trading of FRC 12 times Wednesday.
To make matters worse, First Republic faces the prospect of losing access to the Fed’s lending facilities if a private deal isn’t reached soon, Bloomberg reported.
