DOJ is also entering a deferred prosecution agreement with JPMC.

DOJ & JPMC had a DPA for F/X manipulation, w/a condition that JPMC wouldn& #39;t commit any federal crimes from & #39;15-& #39;18.

Appears they were manipulating markets in violation of the F/X DPA. 3/

. @CFTCberkovitz notes that SEC can disqualify JPMC from certain privileges as a & #39;bad actor.& #39;

Past Dem SEC commissioners objected to permissive waivers, including for JPMC manipulating foreign currency markets. 4/

Last observation: no apparent enforcement action by @federalreserve here.

The Fed also has the ability to modify or rescind its order allowing JPMC to trade physical commodities. "Unfair competition" is one of the considerations.
