Jamie Dimon is now in trouble for his bitcoin comments:
http://www.cityam.com/272451/jamie-dimon-faces-market-abuse-report-after-his-commentsBlockswater, an algorithmic liquidity provider, has filed a market abuse report against Jamie Dimon for "spreading false and misleading information" about bitcoin.
The firm filed the report with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority against JP Morgan Chase and Dimon, the company's chief executive.
Blockswater said Dimon violated Article 12 of the European Union's Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) by declaring that cryptocurrency bitcoin was "a fraud".
The influential executive last week slammed cryptocurrencies, pushing the digital currency to a three-week low.
Dimon said he would fire an employee who traded in cryptocurrencies for being "stupid".
The complaint said Dimon's statement negatively impacted "the cryptocurrency's price and reputation". It also said Dimon "knew, or ought to have known, that the information he disseminated was false and misleading".
"Jamie Dimon's public assertions did not only affect the reputation of bitcoin, they harmed the interests of some of his own clients and many young businesses that are working hard to create a better financial system,” said Florian Schweitzer, managing partner at Blockswater.
Blockswater said JP Morgan traded bitcoin derivatives for their clients on Stockholm-based exchange Nasdaq Nordic before and after Dimon's statements, which Schweitzer said "smells like market manipulation".
No he's not
Remember how Dimon and his ilk launder money for their fellow criminals, and never get prosecuted?
Remember how Dimon and his fellow cartel members created dangerous financial instruments that crashed the financial markets in 2008? Remember how they faced no consequences whatsoever?
Remember how Dimon and his protection racket circle have been profiting from inflating asset prices (with an inflated money supply), the effects of which are yet to be felt in the wider economy, as the market price of the inflated assets hasn't yet corrected? (which won't happen before the money supply has stopped being inflated)
Do you actually remember (or did you ever know)
any of the various reasons for Bitcoin being created in the first place?
