Greenberg's Bear Stearns, Federal Reserve, and JPMorgan Chase

Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Stearns]: The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. was a New York-based global investment bank, securities trading and brokerage firm that failed in 2008 as part of the global financial crisis and recession, and was subsequently sold to JPMorgan Chase. The company's main business areas before its failure were capital markets, investment banking, wealth management, and global clearing services, and it was heavily involved in the subprime mortgage crisis.

New York Times [https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2008/03/18/jpmorgans-12-billion-bailout/]: Over the weekend, the Federal Reserve bailed out JPMorgan Chase. No, that is not a typo. On Monday, JPMorgan’s stock closed up 10 percent in a down market, increasing the bank’s market capitalization by more than $12 billion.

Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPMorgan_Chase#Bear_Stearns]: On November 19, 2013, the Justice Department announced that JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $13 billion to settle investigations into its business practices pertaining to mortgage-backed securities. Of that amount, $9 billion was penalties and fines and the remaining $4 billion was consumer relief. This was the largest corporate settlement to date. Conduct at Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual prior to their 2008 acquisitions accounted for much of the alleged wrongdoing. The agreement did not settle criminal charges.
