| pThe bank where Bernard Madoff kept his clients' money is defending itself against allegations that it should have done more to stop his massive fraud./ppJPMorgan Chase said in a court filing late Tuesday that it violated no federal rules and had no obligation to probe Madoff's investment scheme./ppA court-appointed trustee sued the bank this month for $6.4 billion, claiming it suspected Madoff was a fraud but did almost nothing./ppJPMorgan's court filing says that if the trustee were to get his way, it would impose broad investigative duties on banks that don't currently exist./ppThe bank also wants the case moved from bankruptcy court to district court. It says the suit is akin to a huge class action, more properly heard by a jury./p |
