Can you imagine the feeling of the Greek people when Germany inevitably does bail out DB? There was a lot written at the time about how the "bailout" of Greece was really a backdoor bailout of DB, BNP, Credit Suisse, et al. Re: point 4. By some counts, DB has the bigest balance sheet in the world. I'm told it depends whose counting, but if all the derivatives are included, it's actually in the tens of trillions, making it several times larger than US GPD, challenging the size of world GDP. Very insane that we've come to this.
