Last month, the bank paid $1.1 billion in dividends, reducing its ability to absorb future losses on its investments. If policymakers and regulators do not strengthen their reform efforts, taxpayers and shareholders – not bankers like Dimon – will be the ones who suffer the consequences of the next crisis as well.
据报道摩根大通的总裁杰米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）告诉自己的女儿说金融危机“每5到7年就会发生一次”。上个月，摩根银行支付了11亿美元的股息，使其吸收未来投资损失的能力遭到了削弱。如果政策制定者和监管者们不加强他们的改革力度，纳税人和股东——当然不是戴蒙这种大银行家——将依然是下一次危机的受害者。
