RE: One banks is not the equal of another
Would banks in Asia and Russia be as powerful an institution as the German bank?
The classic answer, of course, is that it depends. Coming from a financial service advisory role, the critical factors aren't just how much money the bank has to throw around, etc. It's how trustworthy they are in terms of money-laundering, asset seizing, etc. You can have a bank with ass-tons of assets ... but would you trust their investment in you if there's a good chance they'll just seize your profits or use that loan as a noose for blackmail, etc. In that case, a European or American bank becomes infinitely more powerful than anything Russia can offer.
