JPMorgan Unplugged (Sorta): As punishment for allegedly submitting false information to an investigation, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission banned JPMorgan Chase from trading electricity at market rates for six months. The suspension doesn't begin until April of next year to give the bank and the system operator time to prepare. And during the six-month penalty period, JPM will still be allowed to trade electricity at prices set by counterparties. "In essence, the order limits the bank's profits while allowing it to continue operating in power markets," according to the FT ; the Journal says FERC wants "to make sure there was enough electricity on the grid to meet demand ." This situation gives a whole new meaning to the phrase " Too Interconnected to Fail ."
