Dimon Sees More Regulator Scrutiny After Whale Loss

Submitted by webadmin on

JPMorgan Chase & Co., which is under regulatory orders to tighten internal controls following a record trading loss last year, will face more sanctions in the coming months, according to Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. The bet on credit derivatives that lost more than $6.2 billion was "extremely embarrassing, opened us up to severe criticism, damaged our reputation and resulted in litigation and investigations that are still ongoing," Dimon said on Tuesday. "We received regulatory orders requiring improved performance in multiple areas, including mortgage foreclosures, anti-money laundering procedures and others. Unfortunately, we expect we will have more of these."
