JP Morgan loses appeal against WorldCom settlements

JP Morgan, the largest remaining defendant in the WorldCom bankruptcy case, has lost an attempt to block $1.4bn (€1.1bn) in settlements agreed last week between other banks and the telecoms company.

The ruling against JP Morgan came as Bernie Ebbers, former chief executive of WorldCom, was found guilty of an $11bn fraud. The charges carry a maximum term of 85 years in prison.
