JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest U.S. bank, agreed to pay $100 million to resolve Commodity Futures Trading Commission claims that the company’s London traders last year deployed a reckless strategy in derivatives.
The accord, which stems from the bank’s chief investment office’s conduct on Feb. 29, 2012, brings JPMorgan’s settlements from the London Whale trades to more than $1 billion, the CFTC said today in a statement.
