You'll remember that Dimon made a similar complaint to Bernanke last year during a public Q&A from the Fed Chairman.
Listen up, Dimon. The Fed is your one and only best friend, secretly passing you trillions, and you decide to complain publicly about stronger capital requirements and regulators who might actually be doing the job, of well, regulating. If it's a free market he's after, then let's be clear: there's no Federal Reserve, no discount window borrowing, and no bailouts.
Guess what that means, Jamie? There's no JP Morgan.
Goodbye and good riddance.

BREAKING - Tim Geithner Tells Bloomberg He Will Not Serve In An Obama Second Term
Speculation has long been that Geithner will join one of the big banks on Wall Street. If it's any other than Goldman Sachs, for whom he negotiated the AIG bailout at 100 cents on the dollar, we will be shocked.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Wednesday that he does not plan to serve if President Barack Obama wins a second term in November. Geithner said he was confident that Obama would be re-elected but added that he was also "confident that he is going to have the privilege of having another secretary of the Treasury." The comments came in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
