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.

09/13/2013

The response has to measure up to the problem. This is the statement CEO Dimon is making with his complete remake of the compliance and control effort at JP Morgan Chase, putting it on even keel with the business chiefs, something other banks have still to do. Prodded by regulators CEO Dimon has now put the personal weight of his convictions behind the effort, in an effort to preserve his legacy of wise stewardship of the bank.
