So imagine that JPM had made these kinds of bets during the financial crisis in 2008, realized that they were mistakes, and found that it could not reverse them easily. JPM then announces a $2 billion loss, and CEO Jamie Dimon calls the problem “a tempest in a teapot” (as he did in 2012).
因此，可以想象JMP如果在2008年金融危机期间做出这类交易、发现它们出了错并且很难关闭会是怎样。事后JMP将宣布损失为20亿美元，CEO戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）称问题不过是“煮沸的茶壶顶了盖”（一如他在2012年做的那样）。
