Are DB’s IT issues related to the fact that they are the target of a co-ordinated attack by cyber hackers, who are backed by pissed off IB and HF senior management or due to just having crap IT infrastructure?

@1 – Look at the twin peaks on the Fibonacci-Lefavre wave pattern in the 30-day VWAP on DAX futures in Frankfurt? Obviously, DB’s issues are the result of a hidden buyer bidding large volumes of the Oct ’10 contracts.
So obvious, yet the mainstream media turns a blind eye to it.
