JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Says He Would Shut Down Crypto If He Had Power
Dimon, who agreed that crypto firms should face the same AML scrutiny as traditional firms, said he would shut down crypto if he could.
Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
James Dimon is an American billionaire businessman. Since 2005 he has been the chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase, the largest of the big four American banks. Dimon was previously on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Dimon was included in Time magazine’s 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2011 lists of the world’s 100 most influential people. Dimon’s net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion.
Dimon is one of the few bank chief executives to become a billionaire, thanks in part to a US$485 million stake in JPMorgan Chase. He received a $23 million pay package for fiscal year 2011, more than any other bank CEO in the US. However, his compensation was reduced to $11.5 million in 2012 by JPMorgan Chase following a series of controversial trading losses amounting to $6 billion. Dimon received $29.5 million in fiscal year 2017.
