Lesley Stahl of the CBS Investigative News Program, 60 Minutes, Interviews Jamie Dimon on Sunday, November 10, 2019
Jamie Dimon was interviewed by Lesley Stahl this evening on the CBS investigative news program, 60 Minutes. The gist of Dimon’s argument is that candidates for President, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, should stop vilifying him simply because he’s “successful.” Dimon also wants the public to know that it’s “dead wrong” to think he’s not a “patriot.”
Dimon is a bit more than “successful” when it comes to the pile of money he has accumulated. According to Forbes, Dimon is worth $1.6 billion. The bulk of that money has come from stock grants while serving as Chief Executive Officer of the largest bank in the U.S., JPMorgan Chase, since December 31, 2005 as well as Chairman of the Board since December 31, 2006.
Unfortunately, there is a very substantive argument against Dimon being a patriot and a very persuasive argument that he’s a crime boss sitting atop a federally-insured bank backstopped by the U.S. taxpayer that has scooped up $1.6 trillion in deposits from honest folks across America.
