JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are considered GSIB's, Global Systemically Important Banks.
Meaning if any one of them fails it could create global financial instability.
Thank you @McSqueezyTheCow for creating this chart that details the risks that these big banks have taken and that too few are talking about.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Agrees To Pay $920 Million in Connection with Schemes to Defraud Precious Metals and U.S. Treasuries Markets
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMorgan), a New York, New York-based global banking and financial services firm, has entered into a resolution with the Department of Justice to resolve criminal charges related to two distinct schemes to defraud: the first involving tens of thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for precious metals futures contracts, and the second involving thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for U.S. Treasury futures contracts and in the secondary (cash) market for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.
JPMorgan entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in connection with a criminal information filed today in the District of Connecticut charging the company with two counts of wire fraud. Under the terms of the DPA, JPMorgan will pay over $920 million in a criminal monetary penalty, criminal disgorgement, and victim compensation, with the criminal monetary penalty credited against payments made to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under a separate agreement with the CFTC being announced today and with part of the criminal disgorgement credited against payments made to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) under a separate agreement with the SEC being announced today.
“For over eight years, traders on JP Morgan’s precious metals and U.S. Treasuries desks engaged in separate schemes to defraud other market participants that involved thousands of instances of unlawful trading meant to enhance profits and avoid losses,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Today’s resolution — which includes a significant criminal monetary penalty, compensation for victims, and requires JP Morgan to disgorge its unlawful gains — reflects the nature and seriousness of the bank’s offenses and represents a milestone in the department’s ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of public markets critical to our financial system.”
“JPMorgan engaged in two separate years-long market manipulation schemes,” said U.S. Attorney John H. Durham of the District of Connecticut. “Not only will the company pay a substantial financial penalty and return money to victims, but this agreement requires JPMorgan to self-report violations of the federal anti-fraud laws and cooperate in any future criminal investigations. I thank the FBI for its dedication in investigating these deceptive trading practices and other sophisticated financial crimes.”
“For nearly a decade, a significant number of JP Morgan traders and sales personnel openly disregarded U.S. laws that serve to protect against illegal activity in the marketplace,” said Assistant Director in Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. of the FBI’s New York Field Office. “Today's deferred prosecution agreement, in which JP Morgan Chase and Co. agreed to pay nearly one billion dollars in penalties and victim compensation, is a stark reminder to others that allegations of this nature will be aggressively investigated and pursued.”

LMFAO! JPM reported very strong earnings yesterday: $41.9 Billion in revenue for Q1, up 9% over the year ago quarter, and topping analysts' estimates of $41.67 Billion. Net income of $13.4 Billion, a 6% increase over the comparable year ago quarter, and earnings per share of $4.44 vs. analysts' projection of $4.17 per share.
All stocks were down hard yesterday due to concern over Geopolitical events, specifically Iran's statement that it would launch attacks on Israel today or tomorrow. JPM up strongly over the past 6 months and year, and YTD.

LOL! Yes, as Jamie Dimon announced way back in October 2023, he would be selling around 1 Million shares of his JPM stock for purposes of diversifying his holdings in the best interests of his family. He has now sold approximately 1 Million shares when his sale in February and the most recent smaller sale are combined, consistent with the earlier filing. He has not been selling shares right and left, and still owns literally millions of JPM shares, have sold just 1 Million shares which represented a small portion of his total holdings. Stop misleading everyone.
