DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENT. On January 6, 2014, XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the Department of Justice. This agreement came after years of the bank’s denying culpability in the Ponzi scheme. Although there had been talks of criminal liability charges against the bank,[source], prosecutors and the bank have agreed to pursue the somewhat “middle ground” approach between criminal prosecution and a civil penalty. U.S. Attorney Xxxxx Xxxxxxx explained that although certain individuals had been involved, the core problem lay with the bank’s “overall systemic failure” and that the “at this point, the appropriate charge was against the bank” rather than specific individuals.5 Under the terms of the agreement, the bank would pay $1.7 billion to the victims of Xxxxxx’s fraud and, in turn, after 2 years of good behavior and overhauling of its controls against money laundering, the government would dismiss all charges against the bank. During the 2-year period of deferred prosecution, JPMorgan must fully cooperate with the Office of the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York (the “Office”), the FBI, and any other governmental agency designated by the Office relating to the fraud committed at Madoff Securities. Further obligations of the bank include providing quarterly reports regarding JPMorgan’s remedial changes and giving all necessary access to records to the Office.6 Despite the bank’s settlement of $1.7 billion being the largest forfeiture for banks charged with money laundering violations, the deferred prosecution agreement represents a level of leniency that are offered to large banks and corporations. Deferred prosecution agreements allow large banks to continue operating normally and considering the amount of losses causes by Xxxxxx’s Ponzi scheme, many critics of Wall Street are unsatisfied with the deferred prosecution and the fact that no employees of the bank were personally held liable. As Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, head of advocacy group Better Markets, puts it, “banks do not commit crimes; bankers do.” Still, the punishment could have been even harsher. The government reportedly considered demanding a guilty plea from JPMorgan, although such a move could have jeopardized the company’s charter as a national bank.
