They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree -- but that's for the judge to decide, now that JP Morgan Chase is being sued for Bear Stearns' bad behavior. We chat with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for a breakdown on the lawsuit the state's filed against Chase. Meanwhile, Nissan is revving up its Datsun brand in emerging countries like Indonesia and India. The cars are $3,000 a pop and among the cheapest in the world -- but is it true that you get what you pay for? Plus, we go wild with the founders of Banana Republic and ask what it really means to be energy independent.
