On the recent book, "Spanish Holocaust," by the British historian, Paul Preston, you can read on page 377:
.."Among the more famous prisoners were the Falangist leader, Raimundo Fernández Cuesta, the founder of the Assault Guards, Colonel Agustín Muñoz Grandes, the secretary of the CEDA, Javier Martín Artajo, and the radio personality Bobby Deglané. .."
CEDA stands for Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas, (Spanish Confederation of Autonomous Right-Wing Groups).
Interesting how names pop out in History. Do the Javier of JPMorgan, and this Javier share some killer instincts? Remember that stock brokers have a sui-generis vocabulary to describe their trade. The current Javier lost seven thousand million dollars for JPMorgan. There is talk of a clawback, as Barney Frank pointedly asked Jamie Dimon.
"Democrat Barney Frank pressed Dimon on his statements that top bank officials will have to give back some of their pay.
REP. BARNEY FRANK, D-Mass.: You did say finally that there would be some clawbacks for compensation. You have also taken some responsibility here. Will the clawbacks for compensation -- is your compensation on the table for consideration of clawbacks?
JAMIE DIMON, chairman, JP. Morgan Chase: Yes, all of these -- this whole axis if being reviewed by the board.
REP. BARNEY FRANK: Yours specifically. Just a specific question.
JAMIE DIMON: My compensation is 100 percent up to my board.
REP. BARNEY FRANK: Is it -- Mr. Dimon, you said that there are going to be clawbacks for people responsible. Is your compensation in the pot that's going to be considered for that?
JAMIE DIMON: They will do what they see is appropriate. I can't tell my board what to do."
