Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There was a grim inevitability in the way Juventus FC won its ninth consecutive Serie A title in 2020. Having replaced Max Allegri, the coach who’d guided the Bianconeri to five of those crowns, with the eccentric Maurizio Sarri, it had appeared for parts of the season the club might fail. By this stage Juventus had become so used to claiming the Scudetto its hierarchy had decided it didn’t just want to win, it wanted to win better.

It’s been a learning experience for me.” Cuban, whose CostPlusDrugs.com had millions tied up at SVB, went on to say that the Federal Reserve, Treasury and FDIC making “all depositors whole” would go a long way to calm things down since a large percentage of the accounts were for operating expenses and too large to be insured. FDIC insurance only covers up to $250,000, a limit that was set in 2010 , more than a decade ago. “If you're a company that does $2 million a year in sales, has four employees, and you're in Dubuque, … [Read more...] about Mark Cuban, SBA And Google On How AI Startups Can Get $2 Million In Funding Amid The Bank Crisis
