They didn't plan for a black swam. I think that they only kept so much money around to do redemptions (fractional reserve) assuming that there wouldn't be a run on the bank. But then when a run on the bank happened, they were screwed as they had been locking up the funds.

startups usually dont have enough resources for a black swan.

but this collapse was entirely predictable- many analysts pointed it out and were mocked by kwon and the self-described LUNAtics.

founders either didn't do enough diligence, or didn't care.

Also startup’s black swan effects are usually of the form “our service is no more” rather than “your savings are no more”.
