The $9 Billion Witness: Meet JPMorgan Chase's Worst Nightmare

Meet the woman JPMorgan Chase paid one of the largest fines in American history to keep from talking

She tried to stay quiet, she really did. But after eight years of keeping a heavy secret, the day came when Alayne Fleischmann couldn't take it anymore.

"It was like watching an old lady get mugged on the street," she says. "I thought, 'I can't sit by any longer.'"

Fleischmann is the central witness in one of the biggest cases of white-collar crime in American history, possessing secrets that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon late last year paid $9 billion (not $13 billion as regularly reported – more on that later) to keep the public from hearing.

Back in 2006, as a deal manager at the gigantic bank, Fleischmann first witnessed, then tried to stop, what she describes as "massive criminal securities fraud" in the bank's mortgage operations.

Thanks to a confidentiality agreement, she's kept her mouth shut since then. "My closest family and friends don't know what I've been living with," she says. "Even my brother will only find out for the first time when he sees this interview."

:Jesus against th:

9 billion is loose change

I don't get why this was allowed to be printed.

Rolling Stine should have folded and people suffering from involuntary suicides A.K.A murders

bizarre isn't it, normally such witness will meet a timely accident or suicide themselves. banksters silenced people for much smaller amount

in the interview she states that the gubment spent almost 3 yrs investigating the claims,why is it that these wealthy crooks can continue to commit these frauds and crimes over years of investigation but if they suspect a normal citizen of committing a crime that citizen is locked up in a matter of days if not hours

Rolling Stone is a libtard TPTB-worshipping birdcage liner.

It's probably all bullshit.

I bet the $9 billion fine was tax deducted so now you know they don't pay a thing : pure distraction.
They are just too big to jail.

During the peak the mortgage backed securities scam was turning 250 billion a quarter profit or there abouts.

They were making money from nothing more than bankrupting the American public and it was allowed to happen by Congress and the SEC.
