Why Europe's Banks don't have enough Capital

Interesting contribution from the Head of Research at BIS. But when the incompetents in Politics and Regulation have the UK banks pay £45 Bio in penalties for (mostly ficticious) 'mis-selling' one can only say it is a miracle that the banks are left standing and the sleepy shareholders (basically the fiduciaries managing the investment management industry) are not up in arms. 
If you want to bleed your banking system dry there is no better way, similar to Fx and Libor Fixing. 
The principles of forensic and detailed proof are brushed aside in order to score political points.
