A behind the scenes account of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's discovery and response to large losses
01/15/2010
Dimon's first encounter with the losses at the bank was through an account of Chief Investment Office trader Iksil's trades in the Wall Street Journal on April 6, 2012. The trader was referred to as the "London Whale" and large losses were mentioned. This has raised questions about whether banks of the size of JP Morgan can even be effectively managed by a CEO. The decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Treasury and regulators to encourage the merger of failed financial firms Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual with JP Morgan Chase- ostensibly because no mechanism to wind down such firms existed- not only created a mega bank but also created additional risks from banks too big to manage.

At the S.E.C., a Question of Home-Court Edge
New York Times 10/05/2013
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
