The United States $5,263,171 On October 5, 2018, JPMC agreed to remit $5.26 million to the United States Treasury to settle its potential liability for settling transactions that may have related to sanctions-targeted parties. Specifically, it was determined that JPMC appeared to have violated one or more of the following sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control: the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations, and the Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators Sanctions Regulations.

The Financial Markets $65,000,000 On June 18, 2019, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission issued an order settling charges against JPMC for attempted manipulation of the ISDAFIX benchmark. JPMC was ordered to pay a $65 million penalty.

The Financial Markets $135,000,000 On December 26, 2018, the SEC announced that JPMC would pay more than $135 million to settle charges of improper handling of “pre-released” American Depositary Receipts. ADRs – U.S. securities that represent foreign shares of a foreign company – require a corresponding number of foreign shares to be held in custody at a depositary bank. The practice of “pre-release” allows ADRs to be issued without the deposit of foreign shares, provided brokers receiving them have an agreement with a depositary bank and the broker or its customer owns the number of foreign shares that corresponds to the number of shares the ADR represents. The SEC’s order found that JPMorgan improperly provided ADRs to brokers in thousands of pre-release transactions when neither the broker nor its customers had the foreign shares needed to support those new ADRs. Such practices resulted in inflating the total number of a foreign issuer’s tradeable securities, which resulted in abusive practices like inappropriate short selling and dividend arbitrage that should not have been occurring.

The Financial Markets $183,000,000 On November 23, 2018, JPMC reached a preliminary settlement of claims alleging that JPMC and other banks conspired to rig the Euribor, a European Interest-rate benchmark.

Participants in 401k plans $75,000,000 On September 23, 2019, JPMC agreed to pay $75 million to settle a class action, which was filed in 2012, alleging that it mismanaged the class members’ 401k plan investments that were allocated to certain JPMC “Stable Value Funds.” Although JPMC advertised its Stable Value Funds as conservative, with the stated goal of capital preservation, the funds were allegedly heavily invested in highly leveraged illiquid assets. JPMC’s alleged goal in investing the funds in leveraged assets was to increase its assets under management and thereby increase its management fees. When the financial crisis hit, the funds sustained catastrophic losses allegedly directly correlated to JPMC’s inappropriate high risk, leveraged strategy.

JPMC employees and their families $5,000,000 On December 2, 2019, JPMC reached a final settlement to resolve claims alleging that it discriminated against fathers with respect to paid parental leave.
