Deutsche bank isn't collapsing just recently, it is already insolvent many times over but derivatives allow it to hide the extent of the existing losses from investors, counter-parties and regulators.
Eventually the depth of the criminality behind the scenes in ALL global mega banks will come to the surface. For now the Central Banks, IMF, regulators, etc let it go uninvestigated because they are too big too fail, too big to jail ... they are extorting the world with threat of financial armageddon to get away with an immense scale of racketeering. Soon ... the rats are turning on each other

Prosecutors have been reconstructing how Monte Paschi’s former managers misrepresented the lender’s finances in the years through the two deals signed with Deutsche Bank in 2008 and Nomura in 2009. The investigation revealed Monte Paschi arranged the transactions to hide billions in losses that led to false accounting between 2008 and 2012, according to a prosecutors’ statement released Jan. 14, when they completed the investigation.
They hide billions in losses on the derivatives book for just one Italian bank (with purported deep mafia links) ... and Deutsche Bank total derivative book has ~$45 trillion, who knows how many crimes are hidden in there?
