Part 2/8:
Deutsche Bank is currently grappling with substantial financial challenges, including a $329 million Ponzi scheme-linked liability and burgeoning litigation costs. Although this figure might appear monumental, it's just a fraction of the financial realities faced by such a massive institution. Additionally, the bank has toyed with the possibility of laying off 16,000 employees, creating further uncertainty among its workforce of around 90,000. Such drastic measures have raised questions about the viability of the bank and its strategies moving forward.
