My cynic alarm is going off. Something about this smells a bit like yesterdays halibut. Not saying its not true, but methinks there is more to this letter than meets the eye.
TBD.....

Well, that's why the footnotes from me.
There's not enough specific information to analyze and it may well be bull****.
But..... it IS fair game for comment, since it was published on a government web site.

If true, this would definitely be an interesting development.
One might even hope, this could be the start of a trend.
Then again, hope has never been a strategy of mine.

Manhattan has more hidden video cameras per square foot than even Tel Aviv or London now. If the IP address didn't emanate from within JPM, they are certainly doing facial recognition matches on all the relevant cameras right now.
If it's a fake, he's now a fugitive who committed fraud on a .gov website and will have JPM security and the Feds going after him. If he has the evidence and it was true, he'll be drinking champagne on a yacht downtown before long.
Required language to get the FCA gross reward, which BTW is 50% of any stolen government money, minus recovery expenses and attorney fees:
"I will be contacting a lawyer shortly about this matter, as I believe no other whistleblower at JPMorgan has come forward yet."

Look, if all of you on this thread write a direct letter to your Senators the ball may really get rolling. The JPM guy will go public once he has an attorney if he is for real. In the meantime write your reps about the GS case and blast them. That puts pressure on the politicians to make public statements and will then encourage further whistle-blowers. As the slime is revealed these criminal banks will see client exodus and likely prosecutions that can take us a long way.
Don't forget to remind your Senator that you know he/she takes money from these criminals. Put them on the spot.

I'm not buying this one. But, FWIW, a long time friend of mine at a major bank / trading company is stepping down. I was floored last night when he told me. He said he can't take it anymore. The money is pretty good and for him to say that, it must be really bad.

Antone,
The FCA reward is per taxpayer ID, so you still have a crack at the reward if you're quick and prove your information was key to the recovery.
First whistleblower per tax id gets it all, including anonymity and even a new identity to spend his/her/their money.
Oh, and let's not forget the Brits will pay 50% as well on the same case if they stole as well from the crown.
I'll check with my contacts to see if there's been activity at the Inland Revenue.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is false and created by Goldman. When it is shown false they will say - "See? Just like our accuser."

This paragraph totally screams fake and leads me to believe it was just written by a gold/silver bug.
"As regulators of the free people of this country, I ask you to uphold the most important job in the world right now. That job is judge and overseer of all that is justice in the most sensitive of commodity markets. There are many middle-income people that invest in the physical assets of silver, gold, as well as mining stocks that are being financially impacted in a negative way b/c of our unscrupulous shorts in the precious metals commodity sector. If you read the COT with intent you will find that commercials (even though we have no business being in the commercial sector, which should be reserved for companies that truly produce the metal) are net short by a long shot in not only silver, but gold."
Probably someone who lost their ass in the last gold/silver downdraft. It is the typical gold/silver bug complaint, that JPM is short and not being a miner, has no business being listed as a commercial.
I see Zero Hedge releases it with considerable skepticism as well, citing that it provides no new info etc.

Medic - a friend of mine left MS a couple of years ago when they reneged on a bonus promise. He said his managing director begged him to stay. Told him he was going home and if they wanted him they needed to make good on his 3 million dollar bonus. His trading account had earned them 61 million that year. He had them beg again. He's now working at a boutique shop a few minutes from his home and earning half what he used to. Gets time to coach his kids baseball team and enjoys life a whole lot more. He confirmed for me the contempt that Wall Street has for their clients and the little people in general.

Yes, this didn't pass the sniff test with me either. My BS-meter is pretty accurate and pegged-out immediately.
That being said, (to borrow a tired, old cliche) I think that Mr. Smith is the first rat to scamper off of one of many burning ships.
Remember, there is no honor among theives, and they were eventually able to infiltrate and bring down the mafia as well.

Can you imagine what the pressure must be, going to a client to sell him something on the idea it is supposed to benefit him, knowing that you were sent there to **** him out of every dime you can get out of him? Yves wrote about this in her book a couple years ago. The MSM is merely years late on this item. She pointed out what had come out of Morgan Stanley. She also brought up comments about ****ing the Mexican banks to the point the US had to bail them out in 1994. We bailed the Mexican banks out so Wall Street could get their money! I knew at the time that the money in Mexico didn't disappear for the reasons stated, all a lie told to and by the media. Clinton brought in Rubin, who made unilateral loans to bail them out. I knew from that day forward, we were looking at a crooked deal.
Supreme Court Justice, Louis brandeis wrote a book around 1910 about how Wall Street sucked money out of customers. It has probably never stopped. There is an article on Yahoo right now about who is buying the stock market. In low volume, I believe they can move the market with little buying or selling, merely by manipulating the bid/asks. As Karl has said, there are flash quotes in the lineup of orders. This has been going for years, as I know a guy who traded for years and back in the late 1990's he told me he would try to front run an order in the system by Goldman and suddenly the order wasn't there and the trap door was opened. I got to watch this process in the overnight oil market, where the orders at times march like an army and the big orders at the end of the line always vanish when approached. All they have to do is weaken their overhanging orders and the market goes up easier than it goes down, thus generating moves into which they can sell.

When both he and Mr. Smith give the money they've "earned" (whatever is left of it) to charity or back to their clients, then I'll listen.
Until then, they are self-righteous money-grabbers like those in the industry from which they came.

Mannfm, the guys that are actually selling the products have no clue what they're selling. None, zip. These guys could not trade their way out of a paper bag if they had to. They're salespeople that sell what there told has value.
