Slap on the wrist, pending...
It's what we have to settle for apparently.
The regulator of U.S. power markets appears likely to pursue manipulation charges against JPMorgan Chase & Co , analysts said, after a New York Times report on the agency's document that seemed to lay out its case.
The Times said on Friday it reviewed a confidential, 70-page
government document that the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) sent to JPMorgan in March, which alleged the bank manipulated the
power market in California and Michigan in 2010 and 2011.
FERC investigators found JPMorgan devised "manipulative schemes" that
transformed "money-losing power plants into powerful profit centers,"
the Times reported, citing the document. It said the bank has until
mid-May to respond.

I imagine JPM's response was immediate:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Worst case: they pay a miserable pittance of the money they made off this latest scam. Moral hazard is for little people.
greed is gonna kill crapitalism.
I'm sure Obama will give Jamie Dimon a stern talking-to the next time they play golf together.
