Quotable: Dimon
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan-Chase, as quoted in a Dec. 22 interview with BloombergBusinessweek: The Republicans are in charge, and they have not been anti-business the way youve seen the Democrats largely be anti-business for years. I think if you are going to be president, you should have the best people sitting around a table. I think its a mistake for the American public to constantly be told that if you work for an oil company or you work for a bank, that automatically makes you bad. I think a lot of these people are very qualified people who are patriots. Theyre going to want to help the country. Theyre not going to try to help their former company. These are people with deep knowledge that will hopefully do a great job.
I think its a reset moment for how businesses are going to be treated: 145 million people work in America; 125 million of them work for private enterprise; 20 million work for governmentfiremen, sanitation, police, teachers. We hold them in very high regard. But you know, if you didnt have the 125 you couldnt pay for the other 20. Business is a huge positive element in society. But for years its been beaten down as if were terrible people. So I think its a good reset.

(15,064 posts)Dimon says the year was marred by significant legal settlements largely related to mortgages. In fact, just 7 days after the 2013 fiscal year ended, JPMorgan paid $2 billion and made history in being the first Wall Street mega bank to be charged with two felony counts and receive a deferred prosecution agreement. The matter had nothing to do with mortgages. The bank was charged with aiding and abetting the Madoff fraud the largest Ponzi scheme in the history of modern finance.
