JPMorgan Said to Expect Multiple Fines for Whale Loss

Submitted by webadmin on

JPMorgan Chase & Co. expects to be fined by authorities in the U.S. and U.K. over last year’s $6.2 billion trading loss, which led to criminal charges against two former employees, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. The Securities and Exchange Commission signaled in a complaint filed yesterday against Javier Martin-Artajo and Julien Grout that the New York-based bank will be held accountable for providing inaccurate information to investors after the two men “fraudulently” mismarked their trades to conceal losses. The bank also expects to be fined by the Department of Justice, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority.
