&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.imjoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/anchorman2wi.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; width=&quot;132&quot; height=&quot;138&quot;&gt;Actor and comedian Will Ferrell, in an arbitration claim also involving fellow comedian Larry David, recently sought damages against JPMorgan Chase for what Ferrell&#39;s legal camp dubbed &quot;unauthorized and unsuitable purchases&quot; made with $18 million in preferred securities.  The claim, presented before a three-person FINRA arbitration panel earlier this year, pitted Ferrell&#39;s California legal team against the bank&#39;s Greenberg Traurig counsel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With David adding his famous name to the claimant cause as a &quot;trustee&quot;, JPMorgan never stood much of a chance in terms of wry wit.  Luckily for the finance giant, FINRA members don&#39;t seem to care much for comedy; Ferrell&#39;s decision to file the claim was, they argued, much like drinking whole milk amidst a SoCal heat wave&amp;mdash;a bad choice.  Not only was the longtime SNL funnyman denied the $18 million in damages, FINRA also saw fit to bill Ferrell, not JPMorgan, with $600,000 the latter had racked up in legal fees owed to Greenberg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a slew of comedy smashes under his belt&amp;mdash;worth over $1 billion in box office revenues&amp;mdash;it&#39;s a pretty safe bet that Ferrell will brush off this $600k wrist-slap with ease.  If not, he can always fall back on a mean impression of  celebrated mustache ambassador Robert Goulet to generate a little cash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;- sam reynolds&lt;/p&gt;
