Jamie Dimon
Jamie Dimon (b. 1956) is an American banker serving as chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest bank in the United States by assets with $3.2 trillion under management.
In 2023, JPMorgan settled lawsuits related to pedophile and child rapist Jeffrey Epstein for $290 million with victims and $75 million with the U.S. Virgin Islands, addressing claims that the bank facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's activities by overlooking red flags in his accounts from 1998 to 2013; the bank maintained it had no knowledge of his crimes and severed ties upon emerging concerns, with settlements resolving civil claims without admitting wrongdoing or resulting in charges against Dimon, who denied awareness of internal Epstein reviews. Across these cases, no criminal charges were brought against Dimon personally, positioning the fines—part of JPMorgan's cumulative post-crisis payouts—as compliance costs in an era of expansive Dodd-Frank regulations.
