JPMorgan Chase is the marvel of the age. Commit crime of infinite magnitude and skip on down the road. Willie Sutton, this nation's most notorious bank robber between the late 1920s-1952 — 100 banks, was asked, "Why do you rob banks, Willie?" And Sutton replied: "Because that's where the money is." Now, Willie Sutton has been reborn in Jamie Dimon and the Merry Men of JPMorgan Chase. What a combination: $2.509B in total assets and the morals of Willie Sutton. If this is (fair & balanced) unpunished larceny, so be it.

JPMorgan Nears Deal in Case Tied to Madoff
—The New York Times
They’ve got endless money. If that’s all it takes,
They must be relieved at this point:
They’ve spent many billions in settlements now,
But nary a day in the joint. Ω
