Are you able to document this?
That number came form Denninger. Here is another source that shows it as 42 trillion. Look for the bar chart down the page.
I may have misspoke, I just re-read Karl Denninger’s post on DB and it looks as though he said the derivative market has expanded and additional $57 Trillion since 2007.
Here is the link, in any event DB does have a huge derivative exposure to be concerned about.

Well I did another look and found this link on DB, yes they have derivative exposure of between $55 and $75 Trillion. How is this possible?
Whatever the exposure it is bad and Citi along with Barclays are in trouble also. So if DB is not propped up it could take down the top 10 to 15 banks in the world. So my opinion is that DB will not be allowed to fail.
ok so it isn’t 57 Trillion
ITS 72.8 TRILLION
