Japan is about to follow Europe's deep debt crisis, said Kyle Bass, a hedge fund manager and founder of Heyman Capital, said on CNBC.

There are many dangers associated with strategies of central banks trying to print his escape from the debt crisis. These are inflation and loss of confidence in the stability of the debt, says Bass.
In his impending crisis is obvious. "The simple fact is that we are not talking about an exercise in quantitative easing. The question is when, not whether the system will collapse. "
