JP Morgan – In the News:

In the Matter of JPMorgan Chase & Co., SEC Release No. 70458 (Sept. 19, 2013) – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) settled with JPMorgan Chase & Co. concerning misstating financial results and lacking effective internal controls to detect and prevent its traders from fraudulently overvaluing investments to and concealing hundreds of millions of dollars in trading losses. JP Morgan has agreed to pay a $200 million penalty, admitting the facts underlying the SEC’s charges, and publicly acknowledge violations of the federal securities laws.

SEC v. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, et al – The SEC settled charges with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) with misleading investors in offerings of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The firms agreed to a combined settlement to pay more than $400 million and the SEC stated that it would distribute the money to harmed investors. The SEC alleged that J.P. Morgan misstated information about the delinquency status of mortgage loans that provided collateral for an RMBS offering in which it was the underwriter while receiving more than $2.7 million in fees while investors lost at least $37 million. J.P. Morgan agreed to pay $296.9 million of the settlement.

In the Matter of JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., et al, Case No. AA-EC-13-109 – The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) settled with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., JPMorgan Bank and Trust Company, N.A., and Chase Bank USA, N.A., for $350 million concerning allegations of violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The OCC found widespread deficiencies in the banks’ BSA and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance programs. The OCC stated that the penalty is based in part on JPMorgan Chase’s failure to report suspicions about Bernard Madoff Investment Securities, LLC, to U.S. law enforcement and regulators. Concurrent with the OCC, JPMorgan Chase also entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and agreed to forfeit $1.7 billion to the United States.
