Mientras estamos en juicio en JP Morgan se reparten el dinero
This will be great stuff to present to the jurors during the upcoming trial(s). Soaring revenues and profits in a difficult economic environment.
"JP Morgan Chase is set to defy calls for constraint over bankers' bonuses this week when it delivers an expected $29bn (£18bn) compensation pot for its executives."
"A report by Andrew Cuomo, New York Attorney General, found that 1,626 JP Morgan bankers received bonuses of more than $1m in 2008 – more than any other Wall Street bank."
"Banking analysts forecast that JP Morgan will produce earnings per share (EPS) of 62 cent in the fourth quarter of 2009 – approximately equivalent to profits of $2.7bn – on revenue close to $27bn, up from a profit of $702m on revenue of $17.23bn in the same period a year ago."
Profits increasing more than 300 percent and revenues increasing more than 60 percent from the prior year during a worldwide recession and just 1 year after JPM being gifted by the FDIC with WaMu for $1.88 billion. A compensation pot of $29 billion. This will be great stuff for the trials.
