Beyond “WOW” there isn’t much more to be said about this image, although, I would like to see it include 5 of the banks that were least affected in this mess.

Shocking… but misleading.
The circles are drawn proportional to diameter, not area. The area is half the diameter squared, so it produces a much larger effect. Classic way to lie with statistics/graphs. It makes other banks look much worse off than JPM.
The numbers alone still tell a grim tale. Shame the graph isn’t honest.
