JP Morgan’s $2 Billion Loss Renews Calls for Bank Reform

Jamie Dimon CEO of JP Morgan has been fighting a pitched battle against bank reforms for the better part of his career. With the recent $2 billion JP Morgan betting loss, he's having a hard time trying to spin an excuse that will appease a fed up public.

[AP] JPMorgan Chase faced intense criticism Friday for claiming that a surprise $2 billion loss by one of its trading groups was the result of a sloppy but well-intentioned strategy to manage financial risk.

[AP] But Dimon's contention that the $2 billion loss came from a hedging strategy that backfired, not an opportunistic bet with the bank's own money, faced doubt on Friday, if not outright ridicule.

Do you beleive that Jamie Dimon has good intentions?
