<li>According to the <a href="https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1652979462345048065?s=20">Kobessi letter</a>, JP Morgan said its acquisition of First Republic would generate a one-time gain of $2.6 billion.</li>
<li>Not only that, JP Morgan also expects over $500 million in profit per year from the acquisition.</li>
<li>First Republic Bank is the second largest bank to have failed in the U.S. It is now behind Washington Mutual.</li>

<li>However, JP Morgan should be ineligible to acquire FRB under U.S. regulation as they have already amassed more than 10% of its nationwide deposits. Authorities have made an exemption.</li>
