(Newser) – It’s not a trial, but JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon will testify before Congress with regard to the bank’s $3 billion trading loss. "As always, we will continue to be open and transparent with our regulators and Congress," says a spokesman who confirms Dimon will appear before the US Senate Banking Committee following an invitation from the panel. No word yet on the exact date, but it will be some time after June 6, Reuters reports. (A Wall Street Journal report yesterday revealed that Dimon "couldn’t breathe" when he saw JPMorgan’s losses.)

No depositor has or will lose a dime on this debacle.  So why don't we spend a little more time on Jon Corzine who apparently stole $1.6 billion from customers to cover his firms losses?   Isn't that a little more relevant?  Lot's of those customers were little guys like farmers.  But wait, could it be that Corzine is closely connected to the highest powers in Washington? JPM does something stupid that did not affect customers and you all go nuts. Jon Corzine's firm does something illegal that probably devastated customers, and you could not care less. Hypocrites.

This criminal deserves life behind bars.
