Can't wait for DB to announce an offshore vehicle to unload some "unwanted" risk off the books Maybe KKR is interested? LMAO
I think KKR is already overloaded with Citibank stuff => KKR and Citigroup are understood to have agreed to form an off-balance-sheet vehicle with about $5bn of equity and $10bn of debt to buy impaired loans, which could include some from Citiâs investment bank. The joint venture brings together the private equity firm responsible for some of the biggest leveraged buyouts in the run-up to the credit crunch and the bank that agreed to finance many of those deals. The vehicle could allow Citi to sell some leveraged buyout debt, which it has underwritten but is struggling to syndicate, as well as other troubled loans. What about establishing a new hedge-fund called "Special Vehicle Free Risk Toxic Waste NO-REGULATOR-WILL-HARM-YOU Fund Ltd" located on Cayman Islands ?
I found this picture of KKR and Citibank executives while unloading a bunch of unwanted assets in off-balance-sheet vehicles: Can't wait for Deutsche Bank to join them

Most people will be relieved if Deutsche gets hit for a billion. I think most people expect the third quarter to be a write off - if its more than than then it will hit the share price.
