From Name: From Email: To Name: To Email: Optional Message: Criminal action is expected for JPMorgan in Madoff case from The New York Times JPMorgan Chase and federal authorities are nearing settlements over the bank’s ties to Bernard L. Madoff, striking tentative deals that would involve roughly $2 billion in penalties and a rare criminal action. The government will use a sizable portion of the money to compensate Mr. Madoff’s victims. The settlements, which are coming together on the anniversary of Mr. Madoff’s arrest at his Manhattan penthouse five years ago on Dec. 11 would fault the bank for turning a blind eye to his huge Ponzi scheme, according to people briefed on the case who were not authorized to speak publicly. more 7701 Las Colinas Blvd., Ste. 800, Irving, TX 75063
