The Complete History Of JPMorgan's "Monstrous" Derivative Risks And Abuses - The Full Senate Report
Curious what according to Jamie Dimon is just a "tempest in a teapot", or, alternatively, why Mr. Dimon is richer than pretty much all of you, here is the full 307 page report that explains everything, including all the events that transpired at the JPM CIO office, all the trades that led up to the "monstrous" Whale portfolio, leading to an epic prop trade failure, coupled with countless lies and misrepresentations to regulators, to investors, to the public, and to politicians, many of which under oath. Oh yes, free Jamie Dimon!
Finally, we are happy that our small contribution to exposing the catastrophic JPM TBTF prop trading behavior made its way into the report, and specifically footnote 1442.

And the consequences are???
Lets kill that CUNT
It's almost time to deploy the false flag, me thinks. I'm betting it's a "foreign" cyber attack that makes all this evidence magically disappear, meanwhile mobilizing the country against, oh, let's say China.
No, it's Uzbekistan. They harbor cyber-terrorists like there's no tomorrow.
It's those 30 members left of Al Queeda or the filthy Taleebon!
Interestingly this report paints 'the London Whale' in a pretty good light so far...could it be that the real puppet masters were elsewhere??
In calculating the $500 million “all-in” figure, Mr. Iksil repeatedly used the words “hit,” “lag,” and “loss” in connection with the three credit indices he was analyzing. Despite his analysis discussing hundreds of millions of dollars in cumulative losses, at the end of the day on March 19, the CIO reported internally an SCP daily loss of only $3 million
....then later...
Mr. Martin-Artajo: “Yeah, don’t understand your logic, mate. I just don’t understand. I’ve told Achilles. He told me that he didn’t want to show the loss until we know what we are going to do tomorrow. But it doesn’t matter. I know that you have a problem; you want to be at peace with yourself. It’s ok, Bruno, ok, it’s alright. I know that you are in a hard position here."...
Finally, Mr. Iksil apologized to Mr. Martin-Artajo for creating more work for him with Ms. Drew, but also reaffirmed his belief that the CIO needed to get its marks closer to market value, stating: “we had to get closer to where the market is even if the market is wrong.”
could it be that the real puppet masters were elsewhere??
Umm... did you mist the part where it's a Senate Report?
You were expecting truth? .... from rulers?
I was saying that rhetorically.
Umm... did you mist the part where it's a Senate Report?
The Senate report is excellent so far, pretty much a smoking gun. How much of it will come out in soundbites tomorrow is another matter..
I was saying that rhetorically.
I was just riffing off of it. Sorry if I was insulting.
Who's working for them and who's working for the NWO and who's working for the people of the world. I need to get my bets straight here.
Spring is almost here.
Last time I can remember things this openly fucked up was when Rumsfeld had to own up to losing $3T.
Fun's a comin'!
The Year of the Snake... Whodathunkit!?!
I heard Obama's going to Israel next week, and he now says Iran is "one year away" from a nuke. Something's in the air, but that could just be the stench of bullshit.
EDIT: Actually, I just read Obama and Biden will be out of the country next week at the same time. Plausible deniability, bitchez?
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/03/obama-and-biden-abroad-at-the...
Iran has been 1 yr away from having nukes for the last 10 years
"It was 2 minutes 5 minutes ago."

Jamie Dimon: "If I were the Dictator, I would place JP Morgan above the law and knight Mr. Dimon."
bonuses for everyone!
"And the consequences are???"
Why, the bigger and longer gold and silver bull markets than even the most imaginative of us here can, or even could imagine (if we were much more imaginative than we are). Derivatives are just the means, and the big banks know it better than we do.
The consequences for JP et al - that really depends on us. Hanging? Burning on stake? Sexual capital punishments? ... Our choice.
"Sexual capital punishments?"
Does that mean that they'll be flogged in Bangkok?
Circular saw castration, death by dildo, that sort of thing.
Stake, rope, fire ant colony.
He, he! "Death by dildo". I don't know why it's so funny, but it just is.

Seems you're familiar with the script.
Since JPM is the FOUNDING bank for the Federal Reserve and THE LARGEST SHAREHOLER (allegedly), they can send representatives into your house, shoot your dogs and cats, rape your wife and daughter, steal your retirement, break your legs, taser your grandmother for shits and giggles and still get a TARP grant for $100 billion.
Of course why do all the violent stuff when they can order the Federal Government to do that for them and their Rockefeller ill gotten brethren in the Eurotrash globalist banking system can skim off your earnings by assisting to manipulate the allegedly "free markets" by changing the Matrix at will.
Well, the US taxpayer gets screwed of course.
That's always the result, haven't you noticed?
Do you really think these bought and paid for prostitutes are actually going to do anything? There is merely a show of "look look! We actually are really really serious about doinng something, honest we are!"
Just think how bad it really is, if this is their attempt at damage control.
I already know how bad it is.
The nation is bankrupt. Basically it takes in about 14% of it's official debt per year in tax revenue, and has no way to expand the revenue, meanwhile the debt has increased on average at 9.4% a year since 1971.
16.7 * (1.094^4) = 23.9 trillion dollars for the national debt by the end of Obama's presidency.
If you want consequences, start by:
* withdrawing all money from JPM/GS, if any,
* paying more attention who you're supporting with your money, directly or indirectly, when spending it, and
* helping others to get out of the system.
They have nothing to fear as long as every sheep silently supports them by not giving a shit.
The problem are not the sheep that may keep meager amounts in their individual accounts.
The problem are the corporations that have 401k feduciary accounts on behalf of their employees with JPM. Think of all that money under their control, without the indiividual account holder able to transfer those funds.
True words.
Still, the awareness that the sum of all financial transactions majorly forms the power structures of this world, is severely lacking. If this was otherwise, I'd have good hopes that the change of mind would eventually reach even into the decision making of industrial councils.
In the end, if this is not understood, even a violent solution might just lead to evildoer B taking the place of evildoer A, as the structual flaws will remain and again lead to the same concentration of power and wealth waiting to be taken hold of.
It's the same reason why it was a bad idea to bail out banks: the general public was deprived of a chance to truly readapt their view and thinking, so the acceleration into ruin continues. Since the government isn't interested in changing this path, the people need to do it themselves.
A top cabinet position in the Obama administration.
Haven't read the report but does it match what has been previously presented here about JPM's derivative exposure; aka around 90 T ?
Now I'll read it...
You have to vote for the report before you can see what's in it...
It makes me feel confident that 'Levin' is on the case looking for wrondoing...
Levin, Levin like his money.
He makes a lot they say.
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway.
it's going to take a few good Krugmans, Oh I mean craps to read that report. I'm sure it's full of everything we already know!
terrorist in a teapot
Consequences - Jamie has to buy the first round of scotch at the country club this weekend for his buddies in Congress
This violates the Dimon Principle.
How powerful are you if your trading rates a 307 page senate report and you can still walk around free?
Almost as powerful as Corzine who can vaporize his clients segregated money without so much as rude word coming to him.
Look up J.P. Morgan....1932
Yep!
Simply shocking. NOT ...I will rush home to watch the telly for more info about when charges will be filed! I think Tyler is just trying to make us puke.
I'm sorry, but I'm getting "fraud fatigue". Wake me up when a bankster gets the guillotine.
Do they mention JP Morgan's monstrous silver short?
No?? I thought so> Bernanke would disapprove if that was exposed.
They say that's for a "client."
"Mr. Iksil later told the JPMorgan Chase Task Force investigation that he had not beenable to sell as much credit protection as he would have liked (which would have generated morecarry and profits to keep pace with the high yield rally). He said that two risk metrics – the“VaR” and “CS01” – prevented him from doing so."
hahahahaha!
Leveraging up to 100bn on Super Senior Tranche was not enuff, maybe the 400bn would do?!
Next time.
"Mr. Dimon is richer than pretty much all of you"
Not for long. I made a massive investment in union made Twinkies and will be selling them on eBay for eight grand each.
I'm movin' on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky...
Well done HD. Your movin' on up!
You finally got a piece of the (twinkie) pie.
Zerohedge makes it to footnote #1442...
I think it's safe to say that ZH and all of loyal readership is officially being tracked by DHS, NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. We are, after all, financial terrorists.
The original thread if anyone cares: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/jpmorgan-trader-accused-breaking-cds-index...
I downed him Mr. DHS sir - put that into my permanent file please.
This is like watching the first ten minutes of a movie and then telling your date exactly how it will end. And sure enough...
The bank’s initial claims that its risk managers and regulators were fully informed and engaged, and that the SCP was invested in long-term, risk-reducing hedges allowed by the Volcker Rule, were fictions irreconcilable with the bank’s obligation to provide material information to its investors in an accurate manner.
But Jamie and company lived happily ever after. Commence vomiting.
I hope Tyler doesn't end up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London...
nope. if this is his first offence, he just moved up a notch or two on the hit list; or maybe 'to be droned' list. and that's not funny at all.
Hehe they actually cited this fringe tinfoil hat wearing low brow second rate blog (not real news like Bloomberg) as source information in the Senate report. Congratulations you just graduated and can remove your training propeller from your tinfoil cap.
I like the propeller on mine since it helps keep the mosquito-sized drones away.
Conversation in the Senate:
"So, yeah, see where it says here 'zerohedge.com', yeah, well, I went to the site and there's some pretty good stuff on there, not sure if a lot of it makes sense to me, but what was really weird was the comments... they were all just like 'Fuck You Bernanke' 'Fuck You Bernanke' 'Fuck You Bernanke' 'Fuck You Bernanke'..."
Awesome job Tyler, keep pulling their pants down amigo!
Now you know who the down voting trolls are.
hahaha, the name "Tyler Durden" actually made it into an official document.
Only 301 pages ? My 6th grade book report on Moby Dick was slightly longer ...
Yes, but to be fair, you were writing about a much more impressive whale.
True, which allowed me to really impress the nuns with my extensive exegesis on "The Whiteness of the Whale" chapter, you know, all things at once pure and impure, innocent and ineffable, etc. Earned at least two extra candy bars for that. I now realize the entire novel was a cautionary tale against meaningless, self-aggrandizing pursuits of terrible, elusive beasts, just like my current (attempted) profession as a trader. Oh, well . . .
And it probably read similar since both had whales, which were being pursued.
Put Jamie Dimon in cuffs.
He likes that sort of thing...
You want to punish him - make him walk to work everyday.
Put Jamie Dimon in presidential seal cuff-links. Oh wait...
Obama rewards Jamie by giving him a top cabinet position.
No surprise in the den of liars and thieves.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL.

Detroiters pledge uprising during state takeover: ‘Make sure you are prepared and you will survive’
Councilman Kwame Kenyatta and a packed room of Detroiters warned today of an impending revolt against state intervention, urging residents to stock up on canned food and supplies.
“Even the Bloods in the hood fight for their territory,” Kenyatta said during a 20-minute monologue on the civil rights struggle at today’s city council meeting. “You are going to have to drag me out of here for me to leave.”
Kenyatta cited Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became an intellectual and civil rights icon, because of his position that black people must sacrifice their lives, if necessary, to win freedom and the right to vote. Many in the audience stood up and applauded.
One by one, Detroiters pledged to take to the streets once Gov. Rick Snyder appoints an emergency manager, which is expected Thursday or Friday. Others threatened to block the entrance of city hall.
“Save up and purchase food, canned goods and water because you are going to see a new civil rights movement,” pledged Marie Thornton, a former Detroit Public Schools Board member. “I won’t give up my right to vote. We are going to shut down freeways and we are going to disrupt the economic system.”
Added Valerie Glenn, a community activist: “Make sure you are prepared and you will survive.”
At this point, let em' rot.
At this point, let em' r(i)ot.
Now you're talking.
..we are going to disrupt the economic system....
Newsflash Kwame if there was anything resembling that going on in Detroit the state wouldn't be taking it over.
So a union backed "taken it to the streets" protest is going to come up against their largest employer of unionized staff.
Maybe some of those $10 per hour tent dwellers from OWS days can hang out and protest in some of Detroit's friendlier neighborhoods.
Regardless, get the Orville Redenbacher and some 3D glasses.
Days like this I wish I believed in one of those silly middle eastern Abrahamic death cults - at least I could sleep at night 'knowing' that these greedy swine were going to the hot place.
Oh well, will just have to wait for the revolution I suppose...
the trades are not done and more will come of this story....jpm is going to be looking over the abyss soon enough....and all dimon's millions will not save him.....
Finally, we (Tylers) are happy. Well don't F'n rest in peace now that you have the ball rolling. Congratulations.

IMO, this reference is huge, as it speaks volumes on the credibility of a 'fringe blog' that deserves to be spread far and wide. Perhaps those MSM-watchers might take a look at a (this) blog site and realize there is some high quality out there, with ZH leading the financial pack.
Any references to Fox News, CNBC, NBC, CBS in that report? NOPE. Crickets chirping there.
Kudos to ZH...this is great news.
1) Create horribly complicated, opaque, mysterious financial instruments
2) Fail to set aside assets to cover / redeem said instruments.
3) Sell them to others who do not understand them
4) Lie about what they're worth
5) Watch the markets turn against you; lie some more
6) News gets out you're lying; lie some more, lie to "regulators", lie about consequences
7) Keep lying. Get caught out in multiple, connected, complex, opaque lies about what you've done.
That about cover it?
You missed eight...
8) Get away with everything scott free.
Rewrite (8) Pay a token fine (1% of profits) as punishment, admit NO wrongdoing, and get away with the remaining 99% SCOTT FREE!
TL;DR We can. You can't. They won't stop us. You can't stop us. Resume the bent over position.
Gee, I wonder if this means that JPMChase will lose the EBT contract with the Government? That will tell you whether this is all bullshit or not.
Yeah man, THAT will tell us if this is all bullshit!
We need to stop trying to make sense of this stuff, that is where they have us. We keep trying to conceive of justice, consequences, punishment. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
There is nothing to figure out, they are all thieves with guns at our heads (trying to take our guns from us). They put a great deal of effort into distracting us because it is cheaper than killing us all.
Banzai-7 is gonna have a hey day with this one...
Inspite of this JPM declares mega corporate profits in 2012...we are in never never land; where lies the truth?
We are in never never land; where lies are the truth.
Did anyone know : Valérie Giscard d'Estaing is stil alive. He's on TV now.. I thought he died like 35 yeaars ago.
Treasury Secretary Dimon will fix this.
Poor Obama. He must feel so betrayed.
A. This is exactly why there should be no corporate veil protecting criminal CEOs. CEOs must be personally liable for the actions of their company, and especially their own actions ... and THAT is why they get paid the big bucks. Now Dimon gets the big buck for being a sniveling parasite. Unfortunately he gets to buy favor and protection from the government with the money that his bank creates out of thin air. Seems wrong, no?
B. International banks have single handedly killed every free market. There are no free markets anymore. Big banks determine all stock an commodity prices. They even get to be bailed out on their sugar positions by the governments, when they have priced sugar above the market.
Wow, Bloomberg's shitty guests just basically said "Who cares! The stock markets are up, the bank stocks are up, people are making a big deal out of nothing, that happened along time ago." Bloomberg's starting to smell like Cramers fat sweat.
Who cares.
The stock market is making a new high everyday!... this is the only thing that matters.
sarc/off
haha with the I-got-your-back Federal Reserve, nothing will happen to JPMorgan
But some lunatic may do this: http://terrorism.about.com/od/originshistory/p/WallStreetBomb.htm
ZH should have won a journalistic award for their coverage of this at the time. Outstanding analysis, way out in front of MSM in breaking story, etc.
That analysis and coverage was what convinced me that this site is a must read. Invaluable blog guys.

This is obvious graft and criminality and there IS no justice and I know why.
Many will see this as evidence of corruption at the highest levels and it is, but what does it mean? We have been seeing people and businesses (banks) for years now, publicly vilified by the press and our great leader, yet they persist and get even richer and more powerful. How can this be?
It is happening because they want it to happen. They want us disgusted and untrusting of anyone, especially those in power. One would think this to be insane, right? Deliberately induce people to not trust you or anything you touch?
Exactly.
Chaos, leading to fatigue, and ultimately surrender for anyone seeking to subscribe to the old rules of hard work, honesty and a moral code. They want us to give up. They already have their minions to follow and sycophantly adore them. We are the sand in their bearings. We are what emanates the screeching sounds as their horrible wheels go round. We must stop, be silenced for their machine to function properly. Those that contribute to our new daily records on Wall Street are providing the grease for their wheels and by the time all of the grease is gone, they will have delivered us to their destination.
The people that depend on these criminals will accept anything, believe anything and ultimately do anything to preserve what they know to be a lie. But in their mind, what choice do they have? For many of us we don't have a lot and granted we would like to keep it, but on reflection, to lose it all would not be losing a lot. These guys though, they have it all. They can never go back. They will and have sold their soul and will do the same with ours.
Yes, this is obvious graft and criminality and there IS no justice and I know why.
I can hardly wait to see how the MSM spins this into positive bullish news.
“That’s right Maria, and Jamie just told me personally that’s why he put new management and controls in place, to ensure this can never happen again.”
”I see Dan, no doubt that’s one of the reasons JPM’s stock is performing so well lately; let’s take a look at the chart.”
“But Maria, didn’t Jamie plagiarize himself before Congress.”
“Cut! Would someone fire this f^&cking intern already.”
Don't hold your breath.
I'd like to hear the translator explaining to the politicians exactly what exactly is going on.
It's easy to tell lies and get away with it when no one has a fucking clue what you're doing let alone understand it. And now that it's been done...well you better just let me take care of it or ill sink everything.
Sooo, whats gonna be done about it???
Nuttun, thas what!!!!
Tyler(s), awesome. Congrats on the mention!
I love you guys!
