| JPMorgan: Former American Airlines Exec's Family Deserves None of Dallas Jury's $8B Award |
 |
JPMorgan Chase & Co. urged a judge to throw out a stunning $8 billion jury verdict over a mismanaged inheritance, saying the family deserves nothing. "The law and evidence do not support any claim against JPMorgan, much less the unprecedented multi-billion-dollar punitive damage award, which the heirs have already admitted is unconstitutionally excessive," the bank said in a filing in Dallas probate court. Two children of Max Hopper, a former American Airlines executive who died in 2010, have already asked that the damages for them and their father's estate be reduced to about $74 million, while his widow has yet to weigh in with any adjustment to the ninth-largest verdict in U.S. history.
