How can a bank go that long not realizing they don't have enough cash on hand to cover their ass?

They knew, and they were trying to raise money to cover it, and I've seen reports that they actually had it lined up - preventing this failure - but Peter Thiel, buddy of Elmo, buddy of TFG, buddy of Putin, had his VC company put out a statement that everyone must withdraw all their accounts immediately. And the bank crashed.
SVB was stupid, and irresponsible, but Thiel was evil.

So basically a collapse triggered by a run triggered by an oligarch. That's not weird at all.
