Suicides of Bank Executives, Fraud, Financial Manipulation: JPMorgan Chase Advisor Tony Blair Is Not Involved

CAPITALISM, 17 Feb 2014

Prof Michel Chossudovsky - Global Research

JPMorgan Chase is the unspoken architect of fraud, corruption, not to mention the establishment of the largest Ponzi scheme in World history. The agenda is to steal and appropriate wealth through market manipulation:

“Just last month, JPMorgan Chase acknowledged that it facilitated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, looking the other way as Bernie Madoff brazenly turned his business bank account at JPMorgan Chase into an unprecedented money laundering operation that would have set off bells, whistles and sirens at any other bank.

The U.S. Justice Department allowed JPMorgan to pay $1.7 billion and sign a deferred prosecution agreement, meaning no one goes to jail at JPMorgan — again. The largest question that no one can or will answer is how the compliance, legal and anti-money laundering personnel at JPMorgan ignored for years hundreds of transfers and billions of dollars in round trip maneuvers between Madoff and the account of Norman Levy. Even one such maneuver should set off an investigation. (Levy is now deceased and the Trustee for Madoff’s victims has settled with his estate.)” Pam Martens, Russ Martens, JPMorgan Vice President’s Death Shines Light on Bank’s Close Ties to the CIA, WallStreetParade.com, February 12, 2014

To successfully implement its various financial operations, JP Morgan Chase not only controls politicians in high office, it also uses retired politicians to undertake advisory functions.

Upon his retirement from the position of Prime Minister, Tony Blair was  appointed to a senior advisory position at  JPMorgan Chase, His initial fee for this part-time consultancy was a modest retainer of £500,000 a year, ($750.000). It was subsequently increased to £2 million.

Tony Blair was slated to use his network of crony political relations in Britain and the Middle East to serve the interests of JPMorgan Chase. He worked closely with CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon, who has recently been the object of controversy.

“We operate our business all over the world”, said Jamie Dimon:

“and Tony Blair will bring our leaders and clients a unique and invaluable global perspective that is especially critical in turbulent times like these. Our firm will benefit greatly from his knowledge and experience” (JPMorgan January 2008 Press Release)

It is worth noting that in 2003 after the invasion of Iraq, during Tony Blair’s mandate as Prime Minister JP Morgan Chase was designated to run the Trade Bank of Iraq.

Tony Blair is a war criminal who has links to a fraudulent banking network.

Mysterious Deaths of Four Senior Wall  Street Bank Executives

In recent developments on January, a JP Morgan Chase Vice President in the U.K., Gabriel Magee, “was found dead on a 9th level rooftop of the bank’s 33-story European headquarters building in the Canary Wharf section of London.”

On February 10, Ryan Henry Crane, 37, another senior  JPMorgan Chase executive died under mysterious circumstances, Crane was responsible for JPMorgan’s global program trading.

Crane’s death comes after “a rash of suicides” over a period of 6 days involving three prominent bankers including JPM’s Gabriel Magee,  former Federal Reserve economist Mike Dueker and William Broeksmit, a former senior manager for Deutsche Bank, who was found “hanging in his home, also an apparent suicide”.  Broeksmit was, according to reports, connected to the process of rigging of foreign exchange markets.
