Zero Hedge – by Tyler DurdenHe may be “richer than you“, but when it comes to cancer everyone is equal. Moments ago, Dow Jones and Bloomberg broke news that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been diagnosed with throat cancer.
- J.P. Morgan JPM Chairman, CEO Jamie Dimon Tells Employees, Shareholders He Has Been Diagnosed With Throat Cancer, Condition Curable
- Dimon Says Prognosis “Excellent,” Cancer “Caught Quickly”
- Dimon Says Cancer Confined, No Evidence Elsewhere
- Dimon to start Radiation and Chemotherapy Treatment at Sloan Kettering, treatment to last 8 weeks
- Dimon advised able to continue to be actively involved in the business
And now the best healthcare that money can buy will be promptly put to use. We wish him a speedy recovery as it would be far more equitable for the JPM CEO to answer for his actions in full health before a jury of his peers, where guilt can not be “admitted or denied” away.

Message from Jamie Dimon to all colleagues and shareholders
Subject line: Sharing some personal news
Dear Colleagues and Shareholders –
I wanted to let you know that I have just been diagnosed with throat cancer. The good news is that the prognosis from my doctors is excellent, the cancer was caught quickly, and my condition is curable. Following thorough tests that included a CAT scan, PET scan and a biopsy, the cancer is confined to the original site and the adjacent lymph nodes on the right side of my neck. Importantly, there is no evidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.
My evaluation and treatment plan are still being finalized, but at this time it appears I will begin radiation and chemotherapy treatment shortly at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, which should take approximately eight weeks. While the treatment will curtail my travel during this period, I have been advised that I will be able to continue to be actively involved in our business, and we will continue to run the company as normal. Our Board has been fully briefed and is totally supportive.
As you all know, we have outstanding leaders across our businesses and functions – the best team I’ve ever had the privilege of working with – so our company will move forward together with confidence as we continue to deliver first-class results for our customers, communities and shareholders.
I feel very good now and will let all of you know if my health situation changes.
I appreciate your support and want to thank our employees for the amazing work they do day-in and day-out. I’m very proud to be part of this company and honored to be working with such an exceptional group of people.
Jamie
Ya know . . . karma’s a bitch!!!
. . .
don’t tell him about apricot kernels or hemp oil.
And now karma has come around to greet the JP Morgan crook. It’s wonderful that he has elected to proceed with chemo and radiation. May he meet his maker and be toasted to a crisp much more quickly than he can imagine.
Dear James Diamond,
You low life two bit scum-bag,…
Lets see if there are any Gods in the universe that demand justice every now and then,.. and have you suffer a S-L-O-W,.. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E,….. DEATH from your cancer.
I don’t know what is more vile,.. James Diamond,.. or his cancer,.. or are they one and the same?
JD – US Marines – One can only hope that his doctor lost money from scumbags like Diamond,…. and it effects his judgement when suggesting a,… “cure”.
Holy cow! There IS a God! lol
That’s what I said NC. He should go on Obama care and suffer a slow Painful death for the lives he destroyed. I know that is not very Christian of me but this parasite is pure Evil!
Kiss my ass you pr#@k….. I’ll out live you and piss down your throat….
What, he’s not dead yet? He steals our families money, and he’s still breathing?
they should play it safe,
remove his head where it meets with his shoulders to make sure the tumor cant spread or return!
Dimon is going to fake his death, or use the excuse of cancer to take an early retirement. Rats, like Jamie Demon, will always have their head above the water surface because he is standing on the backs of JP Morgan subordinates and vested stockholders whom will ultimately drown under his leadership.
I suspect you are correct. -Dot
Jim Willie backs this up. His source says the whole claim is a lie, so JD can gracefully leave JPM. Will Dimon quit or take the high dive cure, for which JPM is famous ?
Dimon has too much documented dirt on everyone who would have reason to kill him (and make it appear to be suicide). This is his insurance policy.
Jamie will disappear into privileged obscurity and live off his illegally stolen, bloody $billions.
Throat cancer huh? Couldn’t happen to a “nicer” guy. Yes, take that chemo and radiation bitch! Hopefully, a slow, excruciatingly painful death awaits you. Have they tried flesh eating bacteria on tumors, just a thought.
“flesh eating bacteria” ??
you mean like Ebola? 😀
Ebola is a virus. I’m talking “Flesh eating bacteria” (I believe it is a staph infection from a particularly nasty strain).
pay back’s a bitch!!!!

I’d even consider watching that, if it were televised.
Otherwise, I agree with Inretrospect. Likely bogus.
