That’s what permabear Nouriel Roubini says is coming in a Barron’s interview. Only $300bm has been written down so far.

Roubini: We are in the second inning of a severe, protracted recession, which started in the first quarter of this year and is going to last at least 18 months, through the middle of next year. A systemic banking crisis will go on for awhile, with hundreds of banks going belly up.
