-
Tracey Ryniec (@TraceyRyniec) reported@commbankerguy It's terrible. Can't imagine moving one for a billion dollar company like Roku either.
-
Bradley S. Isenbek (@isenbek) reported@MarioNawfal Roku is not a national security issue
-
Planet of Dinosaurs (@thiswishistaken) reported@jessicalauring @CathieCramie @_johnsonator Seems like a large part of this particular problem is that you have companies like Roku who are just sitting on 500 million in one uninsured bank account. They could be putting those funds to use in more secured accounts instead of hoarding cash and letting the bank gamble it.

Kyle Pratt 🇺🇦 (@KyleBPratt) reported@peacock Hey. How is it that the default setting for the roku app is closed captioning turned on? Also when I change programs within the app the cc turns back on. Awful consumer experience. Let’s fix this. Thx
-
Eddie G. (@FastEddie577) reported@mollymaloofmd @SVB_Financial ROKU had $487M in cash at SVB. The FDIC only insures $250K per account. It's a terrible situation especially for families that have their money at SVB.
-
Naked Brunch (@HummingbirdRSO) reported@vyodaiken @rickperlstein You think a secretary has more than $250,000 in this bank? And the janitor doesn't work for Roku, they work for a contract company. Probaby not the secretary, either.

핀치야·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ || 11:00 (@farieyoon) reportedwifi won’t work on roku,,,, nd i even reset the wifi nd the roku,,,, how am i supposed to watch svt now😖😖
-
Leo Gros (@LeoGros6896) reportedEh I was liking @netflix but this glitch on the Roku app won’t give me the Continue watching section then it says ima half way thru an episode when I done watched it. Does anyone else get this problem or is it just me? #NetflixGlitchProblem

james odo (@jamesod52774054) reported@ArmandKleinX @Ultra_USMAga_FL Roku is still in big trouble. They may be forced to downsize or file for chapter 11 protection if the bank fails.
-
Matt Cote (@iamnotmattcote) reported@JonHolyoke It’s been a Roku-only issue. Totally fine on my phone. It’s frustrating as hell.
-
Sunny McSunnyface (@sunnyright) reported@sekrah @AHiddenAccount I'm not punishing them. I'm just not bailing out Roku, Inc. with its market cap of $8.4 billion for ignoring a year of news about liquidity problems and industry reputation and instead trusting, let me check my notes here, a Forbes article.
-
james odo (@jamesod52774054) reported@SweetPeaBell326 @ZekeGary2 Now I understand Roku may be in trouble having money in the SVB.
-
PE Investor 1909 (@PEInvestor1909) reported@simon_ree @john_ennis_btc For a big company like ROKU that is stupid, I heard they had loan covenants but still not worth it. Bigger issue is SMBs that require millions in NWC. Most lack the sophistication or funding to hire a team to handle treasuries and could be devastated if they lost that money.
-
No Funeral (@no_funeral) reportedI've never had a smart TV that could stand the test of time re: their software continuing to work and not be so slow it's unusable or weird bugs like "wont' connect to the internet anymore" type stuff. Is Roku really the only thing that works consistently?
-
Sarcastic Buy the Dip Capital🇺🇦 (@Crussian17) reportedWe must make roku whole! Bail out SVB so roku can have their $ back!! This is crucial to the innovative economy and without this $ roku and the entire tech complex will crash. Every community, small, and regional bank will have runs on them if roku doesn’t get their cash back!
-
Jeff Raines (@JeffRaines1) reported@fly4dat @SVB_Financial Everyone who banked at SVB will have access to the lesser of their bank balance or $250k on Monday. So car payments, no problem. This month's payroll, you might need to take a 20% haircut but someone will lend to you based on the FDIC certificates. Roku mgmnt has a problem.
-
Susie To Go (@SusieToGo) reportedHey, @spectrum, why doesn't CC work on your app? I have it turned on on both the app and my Roku, so it should work.
-
Derek Courson🏴☠️ (@DerektheCleric) reported@Shilohv1955 @nicholosberry @AndrewYang well supposedly ROKU had 470 million in the bank, but they had to know that was a terrible idea.
-
Scooter Tee (@1983Knights) reported@Lynnwoodbibbens @amuse @DavidSacks fdic only covers $250k,Roku w/ $450mm in that bank. 3 SVP execs sell their stock a month ago. Jim Cramer on MSNBC says to buy SVP new stock issue a month ago,seems like SVP tried its best. The media points at Biden’s inflation & rate hikes as cause. Who goes to jail?
-
infrastructure is politics (@steveglista) reported@elaifresh I an not a banker either and I have no non-public information but I think there is likely a significant difference in quality of "deposits" between the ~$500M of actual US dollars that Roku has lost, and whatever the various crypto fraud startups may have had parked there
-
Joanne ⁷ 💜K💜McMINMARCH (@EgTwaddle) reported@EndorMoo ROKU just lost all their money in the Silicon Valley Bank crash so not expecting quick improvement.
-
MNED (@mnedhere) reported@slinganswers @slinganswers this is what I had DM'd it's not an HDMI issue as it's a philips Roku smart TV and I use the sling app on the TV. I have done a lot of things like uninstalled the sling app reinstalled it. Done a complete factory reset to the TV but nothing has helped.
-
METAWIN (@Meta_Winners) reportedRoku missing half a bil at #SVB ?! Extrapolate that out across every tech startup in the US and this feels about a trillion times worse than #FTX. Wonder if @brian_armstrong and @cz_binance are thinking how they could acquire and solve their banking issues at the same time.
-
Charles Ellis (@aquarenooh) reportedYou can’t have a system where you insure up to $250,000 per entity and then turn around and do a bailout. I generally like Roku, but I don’t really care if they lose the $500 million. All investments, insured or not, are a gamble to some extent. This collapse was pilot error.
-
Melon Usk (@the_debonair) reported@hiltzikm @Lawrence Paraphrasing: "that won't be your problem unless you think the innovation economy is the whole economy". Fair point, until companies like Roku comment on Friday that they don't know when they will get access their cash...stocks go down, 401k balances and consumer sentiment drop.
-
Ultra Cat (@MrTruth_199) reportedSVB has caused a LOT of issues. Etsy was unable to make payments to sellers on Friday. ROKU has $487 million held by SVB Do you know of others ?
-
River over troubled bridges (@JulietRedbird) reported@timacheson Selling is what buyers encourage. Roku is one of many flimsy outfits that will be culled, but real companies aren't going anywhere- every crash is an opportunity.
-
Farshad Ravasan (@Farshad_Ravasan) reportedThe main problem is large share of startups’ deposits with SVB were uninsured. Note FDIC standard insurance is $250k but for instant Roku had 26% of its cash ($487m) deposited at SVB
-
Paula T. Hradkowsky (@1ThingIsNeedful) reported@AppleTVPlus Help! Trying to stream on Roku TV. Video is all weird colors like psychedelic animation. Audio fine. Works fine on other Roku TV and iphone. Uninstalled, re-installed app. No change. What now?
-
Planet of Dinosaurs (@thiswishistaken) reported@jessicalauring @CathieCramie @_johnsonator Seems like a large part of this particular problem though is that you have companies like Roku who are just sitting on 500 million in one uninsured bank account. They could beputting tose funds to use in more secured accounts instead of hoarding cash and letting the bank gamble.
