I believe the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank is being partly blamed for the Virgin Orbit financial collapse as well as the failed launch.
Its strange as I love anything to do with flight and space but Virgin Orbit left me cold, perhaps it was the way it was presented and the over the top hype that somehow seemed more important than the technology, and the Spaceport thing I found annoying.
