"Deutsche Bank AG expects to report a third-quarter loss of 6.2-billion ($7-billion U.S.) and may eliminate its dividend for the year after writing down the value of its two biggest divisions and boosting its reserve for legal costs.
The estimates, announced in a statement Wednesday, are part of a strategy that co-chief executive officer John Cryan will present Oct. 29 as he looks to shore up capital and boost profitability at Europes biggest investment bank. Deutsche Banks American depositary receipts tumbled 6.4 per cent after the disclosure to $26.96 at 4:22 p.m. in extended trading in New York."

After what Greece famously did after 2008, with bail ins, other banks took a look and planned their own.
They just insisted on kicking the ball as far as they could, but now the cracks are showing in the BS. People are dumping bank stock.
