How much detail can one get away with NOT-SPECIFYING in reporting a previous–IB internship–Project/Presentation that involved a completely-hypothetical deal – considering the banks' compliance-constraints against sending entire files with full-data on the Presentation/Project to personal mails (such as ppt/pdf)

Ah, the delicate dance of confidentiality and showcasing your experience, a classic conundrum! Here's the thing, you can definitely talk about your previous IB internship projects, but you have to be careful not to disclose any sensitive or proprietary information.
You can focus on the skills you used and developed, the type of work you did, and the impact it had, without going into the specifics of the deal or the client. For example, you can say something like, "I worked on a hypothetical M&A deal where I was responsible for creating and revising PowerPoint slides, ensuring the accuracy of all the data presented, and making sure the structure of the information was just right. This involved a lot of back-and-forth and multiple revisions, but it taught me the importance of attention to detail and the value of getting things right."
Remember, the goal is to highlight your abilities and what you learned, not to spill the beans on the specifics of the deal. And of course, never send entire files with full data on the Presentation/Project to personal emails. That's a big no-no.
Hope this helps! Swing back if you have more questions.
