Blythe Masters Under Investigation By Federal Prosecutors
There is much new info in the just released Bloomberg profile on the infamous ex-JPMorganite Blythe Masters, among which the disclosure that she had made it clear that she had wanted to go along with the disposable JPM physical commodities unit (which as was reported recently, was sold to Swiss commodities giant Mercuria) and "and continue as the group's chief", a plan which did not work out as she had planned since she has no plans to "join the unit’s purchaser" (although joining Glencore is another matter entirely, and one which looks increasingly plausible) but what we find most striking is the following revelation: "Masters is under investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. That probe was opened following a settlement with regulators that alleged JPMorgan manipulated power markets in the Midwest and California."
This is somewhat ironic because it was none other than Zero Hedge which asked nearly a year ago if "JPMorgan's "Enron" Will Be The End Of Blythe Masters?" Suddenly, the answer appears to be yes.
More from Bloomberg:
The existence of a probe surrounding JPMorgan’s role in the energy market has been known since August, when it was reported by several news organizations, including Bloomberg News, and subsequently disclosed by the New York-based bank. What wasn’t known was prosecutors’ interest in Masters.
We also learn that in addition to Mercuria, two other bidders for the JPM unit were Blackstone and Macquarie:
Blackstone appeared to have an inside track on Mercuria and Macquarie in the final round of bidding, according to three people involved in the process. The buyout firm had a significant banking relationship with JPMorgan through its history of acquisitions.
Its limited presence in commodities and energy trading also made it the most likely candidate to buy JPMorgan’s business in its entirety and bring Masters and her team on board to run it, the people said.
it is here that Masters' legal liabilities reared their, or technically her, ugly head:
As the January deadline for bids approached, the question of Masters’s legal exposure to the federal investigation remained, according to the people involved in the process.
JPMorgan didn’t provide a level of detail about the investigation that was satisfactory to some of the bidders, according to the people familiar with the process. Masters dismissed any concerns about the inquiry, one person said.
“We didn’t receive any complaints during the process,” said Marchiony, the bank spokesman, about information on the lingering investigation.
Blackstone executives wondered whether there could be more to it than the bank was letting on, said one of the people. Given that Masters might end up as the public face of Blackstone’s commodities business, they were wary, this person said.
Macquarie also was wary about potential legal issues, said one of the people. The bank didn’t want any unforeseen developments to harm its reputation in the U.S. energy markets.
Mercuria’s executives were less concerned about the legal exposure, according to a person familiar with its bid. The firm, started in 2004 by two former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. traders, had a minimal presence in U.S. power and gas markets, and it could run JPMorgan’s business without Masters.
Could it perhaps be because Swiss regulators are even more clueless and coopted than their US peers? Considering the amount of Libor manipulators that ended up in Swiss asset managers the answer is a resounding yes. That said, even Mercuria appears to have nixed the idea of Blythe coming on board as part of the commodities group package.
This is not surprising. What is however, is just how concerned Blythe was about her own security.
During a due diligence period from mid-December through mid-January, a handful of bidders emerged. The most serious were Mercuria, New York-based buyout firm Blackstone Group LP (BX) and Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG), an Australian bank. A fourth contender, Grupo BTG Pactual of Brazil, dropped out in part because of the extra capital Brazilian regulators would require it to hold, a person said at the time.
Masters met with senior executives from the three final bidders in New York and elsewhere, according to people involved in the process. Her arrival at some of the meetings, with an escort of bodyguards, left an impression on her unit’s suitors, said two of the people.
Now why would one go to a diligence meeting with bodyguards - it is almost as if she was convinced someone meant her harm regardless of the circumstances. Whyever could that be? Certainly not due to the way her group conducted itself full of "integrity" and abidance by the rules. Just recall from her CNBC interview in April 2012, in which she made the following on the record disclosures:
- JPM's commodities business is not about betting on commodity prices but about assisting clients"... "it's about assisting clients in executing, managing, their risks and ensuring access to capital so they can make the kind of large long-term investments that are needed in the long run to expand the supply of commodities"...
- "There's been a tremendous amount of speculation particularly in the blogosphere on this topic. I think the challenge is it represents a misunderstanding as the nature of our business. As i mentioned earlier, our business is a client-driven business where we execute on behalf of clients to achieve their financial and risk management objectives. The challenge is that commentators don't see that. So to give you a specific example, we store significant amount of commodities, for example, silver, on behalf of customers we operate vaults in New York City, Singapore and in London. And often when customers have that metal stored in our facilities, they hedge it on a forward basis through JPMorgan who in turn hedges itself in the commodity markets. If you see only the hedges and our activity in the futures market, but you aren't aware of the underlying client position that we're hedging, that would suggest inaccurately that we're running a large directional position. In fact that's not the case at all.
- "We have offsetting positions. We have no stake in whether prices rise or decline. Rather we're running a flat or relatively flat matched book.
- "What is commonly out there is that JPMorgan is manipulating the metals market. It's not part of our business model. it would be wrong and we don't do it."
Of course, if some or all of the above bullet points were flat our lies, one can understand why Blythe could be concerned about her personal security. Which in the aftermath of the London Whale fiasco in which we learned that JPM mostly exceled in lying about everything, appears to have been precisely the case.
In retrospect we can understand why the inventor of the Credit Default Swap would only dare go out in public with a couple of armed gorillas covering her back.

Woohoo!!

I just love Blythe Masters!!!! She is creative, goal oriented, rich and beautiful. What is not to love?
Zackly. She can hide out in my bedroom for a week or so.
You'd be better off fucking a real squid. Same marks when you're done, but the money will still be in your wallet.
Like Ted Cruz.
(bring on the red!)
Poor Blythe.
Last one standing without a chair when the music stopped.
looking for number 14 since jan. 26....could she be it?.....
tip for sec regulators, they are all guilty.
the more profit the more underhanded manipulation.
Under-the-bus-Blthye. Dare to dream. ''Ding dong the witch is dead...''
Blythe received a gold plated nail gun kit when she left JPM.
Unfortunately it didn't come with instructions.
Bodyguards huh?
When you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
I want first dibs as her prison guard
If this is accurate ... " the inventor of the Credit Default Swap would only dare go out in public with a couple of armed gorillas covering her back" ... why would you want her in your bed?
On the other hand, if you can't snap your fingers and have YOUR lackeys roll out a literal TON of physical gold ... why would she want to be within a mile of you?
IAC ... there are undoubtedly enough oligarchs she's pissed off or on to insure someday the pretty lady will d i s a p p e a r
What's the difference between Blythe (JPM) and my bookie who recently got popped? They are both making bets on both sides with other peoples money and taking the vig. Half win half lose, they don't give a shit but they get 10% of the book...if it were legal we would all be doing it.
WELL,
I'll educate you.
Blythe Masters is a girl. She has a pretty smile and a nice set of titties. She is also one of the 'priveledged class', in that she has supposedly 'broken through' the so- called 'glass ceiling' of so-called 'gender bias' (AND, she has a nice fuckable ass, as well).
Tell me about your bookie.
A nasty, ugly, short, nervous MALE by the name of, perhaps, 'Guido', or 'Vinnie', HE isn't skinny, and has a small cock and NO titties. His ass has pimples on it, and his ass is not desirable by either sex (as he still hasn't learned how to wipe the shit off correctly, and never heard of soap)...

Why in the name of all that is righteous do you use Bing?
How old are you guys that think Blythe is hot?
Over 50
"Masters is under investigation by federal prosecutors...'
Pffft! Mere window-dressing for the masses.
Banksteress "suicide" red alert!
bean her with a shoe.
Is is wrong that I want to fuck Blythe Masters doggie style?
Hope she likes it ruff.
"We've found a WITCH; May we burn her....?!?!"
She may end up as rotten as Hitlery on the inside but at least she won't be as ugly on the outside.
She's English, so I'm guessing probably her teeth and a Royal fetish.
Bush or hardwood?
Define "beautiful" dawg. In my book, Blythe Masters is beautiful like Lloyd Blankstein is handsome.
Three things: 1) Wrong species; 2) Tribal member; 3) Banksta
she'll probably get a "hard" spanking and then a "fine" ... after her book she should get Treasury Sec or SEC chief.
I bet you're already in line to give her that spanking.
yup....... and she can call me daddy
She'll end up teaching Control Fraud 101 at university, like her buddy Fabulous Fab.
FUBM.
Whose still paying for these "Fire Kathleen Sebelius" pop-ups?
She will probably be burried with a tonne of silver like some god foresaken princess pharaoh.
I'm hoping her bodyguards are packing nail guns.
With a name like Blythe, you just know her parents were the completely anal-retentive, elite-effete types, who harbored deep & twisted hatred towards each other, and engaged in all manner of moral & sexual depravity-bordering-on-brutality.
Dear, have you heard that the porno industry is infested with this AIDS problem.
Yes, honey, I have. Pittty.
Wanna go fuck a goat?
Honey, goat night is tomorrow.
Or it just tells you she's British. Which, come to think of it, suggests the rest. Never mind.
She's the next Corzine.
You mean, she won't get jail time?
What synoynm of "vaporized" will she use?
Sebelius bailing, shoe-hurling at Hillary, Blythe under investigation--I must be dreaming.
It's one of those nice dreams that turns into a nightmare. You know, like that movie Very Bad Things. A bunch of guys go to Vegas to gamble, snort a lot of coke and fuck hookers, then BAM! You've got a dead hooker on your hands and a security guard who needs a corkscrew in the chest.
Blythe is like that the control freak corporate attorney, Karen Crowder, who orders hits on both George Clooney's character & his fellow attorney, Arthur Edens, in 'Michael Clayton.'
Film reflecting reality.

Great film. Great performances. Great directing.
Wow Tilda Swinton is a dead ringer for Blythe in that role.
Yep. In the upoming movie about the rise & fall of Blythe "The Big Fixer" Masters, Tilda Swinton is a shoe-in to play her.
See this for what it is. These people are going to "admit" to crimes or mistakes. These mistakes will be fixed or reversed.
How would you fix PM manipulations?
By trying and executing every last one of 'em.
Obama impeached, Pelosi in an asylum and Reid captured by aliens -- a dream in the making! :-)
If she realizes that she was sold out by her former employer, it would be sweet if she released a statement, with supporting documents, on what is really going on at JPM. I'm sure her suicide clock is ticking, so time is of the essence.
Stay off tall buildings.
Let them eat squid.
I hope she has a parachute back there that works off of tall buildings or she drives an old pickup with no chips in it like a new Mercedes.
I got a little something she can investigate.
Market starting to tank - Sebelius resigns - Someone throws a shoe at Hitlery - Blythe Masters investigated
If Corzine turns himself in next, I'm having Christmas dinner early this year.
Government has to pretend to clean up its act before the elections.
Cull the obvious liabilities and threats to the status quo.
I know a patent lawyer who says if they grant all your patent claims then you didn't ask for enough. For a bankster if you aren't being investigated then you're not pushing the limits hard enough. Investigation is not conviction and it's a badge of honor. All the reptilians love to tell stories about being investigated when they're at their clan fests.
Stories they can tell when they're sitting around a block of ice in hell.
'Government has to pretend to clean up its act before the elections.'
'Elections', 'Selections'; whatever, dude.
Terminology and correct dictum are key quantifiers.
In the CONUS, it's a foregone conclusion that it will be 'BILLARY' (HITLERY CLIT-TON) vs. 'JEB CLAMPETT' (BUSH THE THIRD), in '16. WATCH the RNC/DNC false left/right paradigm programming controllers and the FUNDING, for further eludication. DUH!
SERIOUSLY...
'Elections', 'Selections'; whatever, dude.
Put her in a 6x6 foot cell with Corzine and tell them only one will be out alive.
Bingo, it's one big side show
rut roh!
If Corzine turns himself in next, I'm having Christmas dinner early this year.
Yep if he turns himself into fish food or fertilizer I'll do the same.
I woldn't say her head is ugly.
She's ugly ob the inside, where it really counts (no, not that part)
She would have been a better person if she had sold her body instead of her brain.
or soul for that matter.
Then put her head on a pike and hang for all to see her pretty head.
she has all the trappings of an attractive woman without actually being one
Jamie Dimon recently said JPM had a tin ear for regulators. Is it that or just that the place is littered with psychopaths like Blythe Masters?
At what point do grown men ditch their boy names?
Billy, Jamie, Kenny, Ronnie, Willy, Johnny...Barackie....Benny......Sue?
If your last name is Idol, Joel, Hawkins, Nelson, Rogers, Cash, Mardones or Reagan, fine.
James Dimon! There is a man! A man with a man's name for fuck sake. A pathetic piece of shit...but he is no boy.

Okay, she invented it. But really? Throw the chick under the bus? While these other pricks walk? Cause that's all you got?
Fuck you all.
perhaps, but really, check out that lizard skin before gettin sucked in by the gender benders:

don't sleep, HillBilly's comin...with a high heel shoe.
So much theater. It will hurt to watch it. I know it does not matter which puppet is there, but I guess if/when she gets in there I will know how Black folk with good consciences feel now. There are good people out there who could make a difference in office. We will never know of them (except maybe Ron).
"Okay, she invented it. But really? Throw the chick under the bus? While these other pricks walk? Cause that's all you got?"
You got to admit she fucked a lot of shit up...
I admit it.
Women are so rare in this arena, I do have to laugh. She's the problem. It's just funny. If she hangs with lots of others, cool, I'll shut the fuck up. That is not what is being staged here.
Was talking to friend recently....all these women in positions of power all of a sudden, the Kirchners etc. included, Lagarde....here in India, half the big banks are ruled by recently appointed women...
thailand with Sinawarta, Mynmar's MI6, Aang Sang... plant doing really well for them.... on and on...Sonia Gandhi in India....
Were they the set-uppers or the overseers of the flames?
hmmmm.....

Absomothafuckin'lutely
I suspect Blythe is being offered up as an aperitif .. like you said tho .. plowed under as part of a field expedient fire break in an all too familiar way. That fire break has no chance of holding with enumerable Paris sized portions enroute to dine upon as this supper theater of the absurd continues to unfold.
Love you babe. Glad to see you out there. Oldest skool. Love the Avatar, out on the edges, in the hinterlands, paradise beyond.
"Throw the chick under the bus?"
Sometimes management isn't very creative, and they have to recycle ideas from other venues. I wonder how many of her peers and superiors watched Margin Call and decided that she would make a good patsy - since it worked so well in the movie? Maybe Blythe Masters is playing the part of Sarah Robertson?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBLNYuKLYD0
looks like Daddy Dimon sold you down the river, Lady B.
time to cum back to Papa...
(btw, i know u know i know u're reading this)
i hope she makes a youtube burning an obama t-shirt and rattling off all the shit she knows about pm manipulation before she hits the bricks.
Smells like nailgun spirit.
Seriously, she knows a lot of shit about the manipulations, including collaborators.
With a liability like her walking about and talking to regulators (if they're sincere), I can see why she'd have security.
(Good thing the regulators aren't sincere.)
perfect!
You Didn't Google That.
Time for her to head to Home Depot to pick up a pneumatic nailgun. High capacity, assault-style, 30-nail clip.
Make sure it has a black handle or it won't work.
I am having a new roof put on the house. Those guys have these little "slap hammers." They look a little a short handled fly swatter, but the end is very heavy. They snack it against the tar paper. Tap. Tap. Tap. Every time it discharges a staple.
Being suicided with a nail gun exceeds cerdulity. Now a slap hammer, just might fool the experts.
Nothing in life scares me more than exceeded "cerdulity"!
Pneumatic? Please...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDpvkwBBu6U
If you gonna tool up, do it properly.
Both of you should read "Brave New World" - to get a clue what "pneumatic" means!" (as in: "She is very pneumatic.")
"In retrospect we can understand why the inventor of the Credit Default Swap would only dare go out in public with a couple of armed gorillas covering her back."
Turd Ferguson in a trench coat in the parlor with a silver monkey wrench.
LOLOLOLOL!! . . with the hat. thank's for the visual!
Rest easy now stackers. Blythe is being crucified. It's the end of PM manipulation. lol
Exactly. Kabuki theater.
I wouldn't mind seeing Blythe in a Bukakke theater right about now.
Mess with silver at your peril. It truly is a disinfectant...slayer of demonic spirits...shiny...precious
Somebody announce the time and the place for the party when she is tried, convicted and given 2 life sentences for the crimes she's committed in the PM market(s)... If that happens it means Obama's been impeached and AG Holder is serving 4 life sentences for the crimes he's committed while serving in office along with Hitlery, and probably more than 2/3 of Congress and the Senate for similar terms in prison (hopefully death)...
I'll believe it when I see it.
You don't want to go there buddy...
Oh wait. You do. Nvm.
You must be on LSD to imagine such fairy tales
Our brother there is making the same righteous point you did above. Ain't real, ain't nothin.
Agreed.
But we still have time and choices. Too bad we won't be the ones fixing it ,because if Washington starts the next one on our behalf which is more than likely the outcome you're going to need that LSD or morphine to get you through the days ahead if you survive it.
Me personally?
I'd much rather live with the worst Depression and have a picnic in downtown D.C. watching the Executive, Judicial and Legisilative swinging from the end of ropes than attempt to live through a worldwide holocaust that our government will create for us and the rest of the World simply because they didn't get there way with the only holdout countries left who don't have Western controlled banks in them and who desire a new beginning with stable currencies and markets outside of the Anglo-American sphere of destruction!
Decisions... Decisions...
"Now why would one go to a diligence meeting with bodyguards"
Because she's executed her "indiscretions" with full awareness.
Now a stupid, sacrificial lamb; prosecutors owned by bigger rats, all being exposed, slowly but surely... still all for show, 'til it can't be.
Hope you die in a cage, cunt.
Hmmmmmm.
Max Keiser hasn't covered this yet. Until he does, I am reserving comment. But then again, it is about 5AM in the UK.
Wanna bet he introduces a new Blythe silver sheckle in her memory. Maybe a Blythe crypto coin. Or would that be a klepto coin?
We need Brooksley Born silver dollars. That would be good. Those Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea were so Jimmy Carter and Bubba Clinton political correctness based concepts. Better yet, let's have the Brooksley platinum or paladium $1 coin. Somebody is making a big deal about how Putin controls all of the paladium. David Morgan? Marc Faber maybe?
Hey, I'd buy Blythe Masters Silver Commemoratives! Blythe, Baby, get busy and start minting some rounds for us.
u didn't
Blythe Masters isn't the problem...she's just a symptom of the disease of fiat money... as long as credit can be created out of thin air, there will always be huge amounts of market manipulation.
I agree, like the puss that leaks from a boil.
Lol i remember previou blog posts about blythy and everyone sayin she was an ugly shrew
I was the only one who consistently volunteered to fuck her, even before it was cool to claim a desire to have sexual relations with that woman
At least you all are being a bit more honest lol. Hell I woudnt even need beer goggles
Her looks helped with her power. Silly not to acknowledge that. Smart. Deadly. At a great distance she is a hell of a character for a novel or dumb assed movie (The Vixen of Wall Street?). But not the only thief on Wall Street. Not the biggest.
no coincidence? the master of Blythe is a regional electricity distribution hub. Name change? Insdurz joke?
Blythe needs to wash her face. It's got BITCH written all over it.
Goo-bye, Yotch. See ya in hell.
The criminality of Wall Street is there for all to see now. Armed bodyguards at a fucking board meeting? Bankers belly flopping off of asphalt? WTF!
Fascist Queen Ant pumping her mucus covered eggs. Soldier ants wait ready to clip off heads: all they need is a whiff of stress hormones from her spirocettes.
Sign here,
and here,
and here.
Eerie.
"Fascist Queen Ant pumping her mucus covered eggs."
She mostly comes out at night. Mostly.
like Slurm! Now with electrolytes!
I heard Blythe Masters was stealing cattle at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada through a BLM play on agenda 21. lol
Oh wow, she is sooo fucked, just like Jon Corzine./sarc
She can have her nails done at Zero Hedge Nails
Boris couldn't possibly fit her in 'till next week.....

Am I dreaming? First Catlean Shitbelis resigns and now this! Man I wish I bought more booze to celebrate with tonight.
Jamie will throw Blythe baby under the bus at the first appropriate moment and then hold a press conference claiming the neither he nor any of the rest of the board had any idea what she and her team were up to. She will then skate on some technicality. All clearing the way for her to retire to the Hamptons next door to Jon Corzine.
Damn straight.
I do admit, the bitch is an attractive woman.
So, you did not see Banzai7's cute little screen saver recently of this drunken slag? Get her a Hartz Mountain Flea Collar - the woman's a dog.
Said all of the men who hired her for a Fuck.
Funny thing, like at SAC, and as expected, she is not a 'tribe' member,
She should count herself lucky the are using an "investigation" instead of a nail-gun or 5th. floor "jump."
"The wife loves my guillotines adeptness with watermelons."
Dumb broad thought she was part of the club.
If I were her, I would stay away from nail guns and penthouses.
...and shitgums.
She is just a fascist so will be protected. Holder is a sAd joke of a human.
Long lizard food.
Would be nice if she could be arrested but the banksters have more on Holder than conspiracy theorists could even dream about. He may require something in return for considering the matter in a more judicial way.
I might be for a world oder if someone would let me in on it. I mean it would have to have a Swiss style of constitution and be run by referendum and open source software. And no politicians or supreme leaders could be a part of it.Banks and the militaries would be outlawed and bankers imprisoned. Twelve pyramids would have to be built to sacrifice, each month, anyone caught with over 10,000,000 dollars and so on. But I'd give it a look over and let them know if they were in line. I don't know why they won't tell me what they are doing.
I have been on other projects for a while now, but as I understand it, this person keep silver prices low for physical stackers, as a fient for the central banks who printed money from nothing? kinda sarc.
Too bad she did not duck like this hag did.:
http://rt.com/usa/hillary-shoe-thrown-speech-764/
All right Blythe, on your knees and spread 'em!!!
Dirty bitch!!!
Whatever else she did wrong... she did +1 doable her body right. That is one hot biatch. I'd buy her a drink.
Oh and hey ALANIS,
"This is somewhat ironic because it was none other than Zero Hedge which asked nearly a year ago if "JPMorgan's "Enron" Will Be The End Of Blythe Masters?" Suddenly, the answer appears to be yes."
....there's nothing ironic about it. Please for fuck's sake differentiate irony from coincidence so we can all stop cringing.
