Should the attorney general have met with Jaimie Dimon of JPMorgan while the fine for malfeasance was being determined? Senator McCain believes it was wrong. Do you?
In matters involving major corporate malfeasance, individual
accountability is vital to deterring similarly severe misconduct by
financial institutions and their officers, directors, or key employees
in the future,” he wrote. “Government enforcement actions must no longer be viewed by institutions
and their management teams as simply the cost of doing business. (see link here)
The WSJ has a different take on Dimon's plight at the moment:
Though it weathered the financial crisis well, the New York bank has
since been targeted in more than a half-dozen probes by regulators and
prosecutors, stretching from allegations it manipulated energy markets
in California to questions about hiring practices in China. J.P. Morgan remains locked in negotiations to avert the
mortgage-securities suit by potentially paying upward of $10 billion and
perhaps pleading guilty to a criminal charge associated with the case.
All told, the bank has incurred more than $18 billion in legal expenses
since 2008 and faces a battery of investor lawsuits stemming from the
regulatory probes. ...Throughout the bank's current ordeal, Mr. Dimon has worked to show
investors, customers, employees and potential clients J.P. Morgan
remains strong. (see link here)
