Deutche Bank Commerzbank Merger - Too Ginormous To Fail....Or Can It?
Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank confirmed on Sunday they
were in talks about a merger, prompting labour union concerns about
possible job losses and questions from analysts about the merits of a
combination.
Germany’s two largest banks issued short statements after separate meetings of their management boards, a person with knowledge of the matter said, indicating a quickening of pace in the merger process, although both also warned that a deal was far from certain.

Size does not grant immunity from failure!

Huawei Sues Canada
Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei who is facing an extradition request from the US, has claimed in a lawsuit filed late last week that she was illegally held and interrogated by Canadian officers for three hours before being formally arrested.
Ms Meng was detained at Vancouver International Airport in December while transferring to an onward flight to Mexico. Her case sparked a political furore in China, where she is widely seen as the victim of a political vendetta by the US.
The FT reports that the lawsuit was filed on Friday and distributed to journalists by Ms Meng’s lawyers on Sunday.
It alleges that Canadian officers held her on the pretext of making a routine border and immigration inspection. That allowed them to interrogate her, as well as search her luggage and electronic devices, without affording her the rights to a lawyer and other protections that come into play when a suspect is formally arrested.
The detention was “a deliberate and premeditated effort on the part of the defendant officers to obtain evidence and information from the plaintiff in a manner that they knew constituted serious violations of the plaintiff’s rights”, according to the suit, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
