Morgan will pay about US$920 Million to the US and UK to settle allegations of “unsafe and unsound practices” that led to the US$6.2 Billion “London Whale” losses last year.  J.P.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is dead.  The Japanese businessman became chairman of his great-grandfather’s playing card company “Nintendo” (“Leave Luck to Heaven”) in Kyoto during the aftermath of World War II at the tender age of 22.  He steered the company into toys and games and seized on the videogame craze in the 1980s with Donkey Kong and the Mario Brothers to rule that world.  Now there’s Wii and Nintendo DS and the hits keep coming.
