JPMorgan deals reportedly backfired, causing losses to mount

IACPM Weekly SmartBrief | May 15, 2012

JPMorgan Chase's $2 billion loss had its roots in efforts to shield the bank from Europe's economic meltdown. However, instead of shrinking risk exposure, the complicated deals backfired, and losses mounted -- as much as $200 million a day in late April and early May, sources said. U.S. and U.K. regulators are investigating what went wrong and whether the bank should have come forward with the bad news sooner. Meanwhile, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said executives were "completely wrong" in public statements last month regarding the derivatives trades.
