A bank failure doesn't have to happen overnight (Lehman), it can happen over a protracted period of time, in which there will be no systemic risk to the global banking establishment. In 2007, every bank was playing dirty w/Credit Default Swaps + CDOs -> "if our balance sheet is loaded with garbage, then the other guy's is too" -> no lending -> credit crisis. The only thing the DB "has" that is toxic is crappy management. BoA won't reconsider it's lending to JPM Chase because of DB, as would've been the case in 2007.
