FBI's Mueller confirms JPMorgan preliminary probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI Director Robert Mueller on Wednesday confirmed that the agency has opened a "preliminary investigation" into JPMorgan Chase & Co
JPMorgan disclosed last week that it had suffered a multibillion-dollar trading loss due to a failed hedging strategy.
A person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday that the FBI's New York office has opened a preliminary probe into the loss, which has been estimated at more than $2 billion.
Mueller was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
When pressed by lawmakers about what legal violations JPMorgan may have committed, Mueller said: "All I can say is we've opened a preliminary investigation."
Mueller also said the timing of the investigation "depends on a number of factors." He did not elaborate.

Merck ordered to pay $321 million in criminal Vioxx probe
(Reuters) - A Boston federal judge on Thursday sentenced Merck & Co to pay a $321 million criminal fine for improperly marketing its Vioxx painkiller a decade ago.
The U.S. drugmaker pleaded guilty in recent months to having illegally promoted Vioxx for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis before it was approved for that use in 2002. The pill, approved in 1999 as a painkiller, was withdrawn from the market in 2004 after it was linked to risk of heart attack and stroke.
Federal prosecutors in Boston said Merck illegally promoted Vioxx for rheumatoid arthritis for three years, continuing to do so after being reprimanded in September 2001 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In a related settlement reached in November, Merck agreed to pay more than $600 million to the federal government, 43 states and the District of Columbia for a wider range of alleged improprieties. But it did not acknowledge any wrongdoing in the civil settlement.
The Department of Justice on Thursday said the settlement involved allegations that Merck made misleading statements about Vioxx's heart safety to boost sales of the medicine, and that it prematurely promoted the drug for rheumatoid arthritis.

Dun & Bradstreet halts China unit operations amid probe
(Reuters) - Dun & Bradstreet
Dun & Bradstreet, formed from a 1933 merger of two rival credit reporting agencies, said it is investigating allegations that data collection practices at Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services Co, which it formed in 2009, may violate Chinese consumer data privacy laws.
In a statement, Dun & Bradstreet said the Shanghai Roadway unit had 2011 revenue of around $23 million and operating income of $2 million. Total group revenue last year was $1.76 billion.
In addition to the data collection practices, D&B said it was reviewing complaints that local employees may have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other laws at its China operations.
The company gave no specific details of the allegations, but said it was cooperating with a Chinese investigation and has voluntarily reported the matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Calls to the Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services unit went unanswered on Monday and attempts to access the company's website generated an error message.
A report in the Shanghai Daily newspaper cited Shanghai police as saying they had confiscated four computer servers at the unit's headquarters and questioned three senior executives.
State television said the company had private information, including income levels, jobs and addresses, for some 150 million Chinese residents and had sold individuals' details for 1.5 yuan (23 cents) each to companies involved in marketing or phone sales, the newspaper reported.
The report said the company had collected personal information from banks, insurance companies and real estate agents as well as from cold-call companies.
Wendy Wysong, a foreign legal consultant at Clifford Chance in Hong Kong, said U.S.-based businesses operating in China are regularly scrutinized by U.S. anti-corruption officials, adding that cases of alleged bribery are increasing faster in China than in other countries.
"Very often, as appears here, as a result of internal investigations of other types of non-compliant conduct, possible corrupt conduct is also discovered," she said.
Other U.S. firms operating in China have been accused of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including IBM, which agreed last March to pay $10 million to settle a complaint, without admitting guilt, that its employees bribed South Korean and Chinese officials.
Law enforcement officials are currently investigating whether Avon Products
Dun & Bradstreet filings with the SEC describe the firm as "the world's leading source of commercial information and insight on businesses."
It said its global database and proprietary analytical functions create reliable information that "is the foundation of our global solutions that customers rely on to make critical business decisions."
Dun & Bradstreet operates several other majority-owned joint ventures in China.
In 2007 it took a majority stake in a venture with Huaxia International Credit Consulting Co Ltd called D&B Huaxia; in 2008 it bought a majority stake in a joint venture with Huicong International Co Ltd; and last year it acquired nearly ...

Shares in Dun & Bradstreet, valued at around $4.1 billion, have gained 48 percent in the past 6 months and last week hit a 13-month high.

No arrest warrant yet in Chris Brown probe
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Miami officials said on Friday reports of an arrest warrant issued for R&B singer Chris Brown are inaccurate, although the singer is still a suspect in the alleged theft of a mobile phone earlier this week.
Brown, 22, who won a Grammy award earlier this month, is midway through a five-year probation after pleading guilty to criminal assault for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. If arrested again, Brown risks being jailed for probation violation.
In a report filed with Miami Beach Police Department on Sunday, 24-year-old Christal Spann, a resident of Miami, named Brown as a suspect in a "robbery by sudden snatching."
The report cites Spann's claim that Brown, who was in a black Bentley automobile, reached through an open window and snatched Spann's iPhone out of her hand as she tried to snap a picture of him, saying "you ain't going to put that on no website," before driving off with the phone.
The incident is still under investigation by the Miami Beach police, and a spokeswoman at the Miami-Dade County state attorney's office said on Friday that reports of an arrest warrant issued for Brown were inaccurate at this time.
Representatives for Brown did not immediately return calls for comment.

J&J to pay more than $1 billion to settle probe: report
(Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson is set to pay more than $1 billion to resolve a U.S. civil investigation into the marketing of its Risperdal antipsychotic drug, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing anonymous sources.
The company reached a deal last week with the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia. The deal does not resolve negotiations over a possible criminal plea, the report said.
Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman Teresa Mueller said the company does not comment on rumors or speculation.
In August, J&J said it reached an agreement related to a misdemeanor charge stemming from the Risperdal investigation, although some issues remained unresolved.

E&Y sets up external panel to probe Olympus audit
TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese arm of Ernst & Young is setting up an external panel to probe its audit of Olympus Corp amid questions over whether it and prior auditor KPMG could have been tougher in checking the scandal-hit firm's accounts.
The move comes after an independent panel commissioned by Olympus to investigate its $1.7 billion accounting scandal raised some issues with the work of Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC, which took over as auditor in 2009, and prior auditor KPMG AZSA LLC.
While Ernst & Young ShinNihon says it conducted an internal review of its Olympus audit and found no problems, it decided to solicit an external probe given the public attention on the scandal.
"The impact of this incident on society has been large. It is a problem we are taking very seriously," Kaoru Kashima, an executive board member at Japan's largest auditing firm, told reporters on Thursday.
Olympus has admitted to paying over the odds for three Japanese companies and to inflating an advisory fee for a 2008 overseas acquisition, as part of an elaborate scheme to cover up investment losses dating back to the 1990s.
In its report, the independent panel raised questions about whether Ernst & Young and KPMG could have done a better job in monitoring the firm's accounting.
The panel took issue with whether the handover of auditing duties from KPMG to Ernst & Young in 2009 was thorough, and the booking of the advisory fee as goodwill.
"Even when we account for the fact that they have just assumed their position as the auditor, and they lacked knowledge of past events, we cannot conclude this was appropriate," the panel said in its report on December 6.
Ernst & Young named three of the panel members -- Takashi Oizumi, Nobuo Gohara and Toshifumi Takada -- and said it was still searching for one or two more. The panel will aim to issue its findings as early as this month, Kashima said.
Oizumi, a lawyer who once headed the Osaka High Public Prosecutors Office, will chair the panel.
Gohara is a lawyer who led a third-party investigation into a scandal at Kyushu Electric Power related to the promotion of nuclear energy, while Takada is a professor of auditing at Tohoku University.
