Creditors of SVB Financial Group, Silicon Valley Bank’s parent company, have banded together in hopes of profiting off a post-bankruptcy sale of the distressed company’s business segments, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

PJT, +2.18% serving as advisor.

Silicon Valley Bank collapsed on Friday following a bank run. Regulators stepped in to shore up its funds, but have had trouble finding a buyer.
