EX-JPMORGAN
TRADER ARRESTED
Javier Martin-Artajo, a former trader at
JPMorgan Chase in London, was arrested in
Madrid Tuesday for allegedly hiding $6 billion
in losses by fudging bank records. The United
States had filed criminal charges against him
earlier this month. Martin-Artajo denied the
charges and said he will fight any request for
extradition, the AP reports.
‘WHALE OF A FIGHT’
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said this week he
wants spending cuts that exceed the increase in the debt
ceiling needed when the Treasury Department hits its
borrowing limit in mid-October. He promised a “whale of
a fight” over the issue. “The president doesn’t think this
is fair, thinks I’m being difficult to deal with,” he said. “It
may be unfair, but what I’m trying to do here is to leverage
the political process to produce more change than what it
would produce if left to its own devices.”
ZIMMERMAN WANTS
FLORIDA TO PAY
George Zimmerman, who was found not
guilty this summer in the killing of Florida
teenager Trayvon Martin, wants to recoup
some of his legal fees. Zimmerman’s lawyer
told the Orlando Sentinel that he will ask
the state to pay up to $300,000 in legal
bills. State law allows defendants who win
a trial to get back money for costs related
to the case, such as expenses for expert
witnesses, the paper reported.
