Jamie Dimon's Got Reputation Problems

Jamie Dimon is glad it’s Facebook Friday. After a week where JPMorgan Chase revealed a $2 billion trading loss, saw questions about the reputation of the bank and its CEO mount, experienced a drop in financial value and heightened attacks from the pro-regulation camp, was sued by shareholders, and became the subject of an FBI investigation, the man is probably longing for a day off and a stiff drink. With the IPO happening, he can take a breather.

“For a bank viewed as a strong risk manager that never reported a loss throughout the financial crisis, the errors are embarrassing, especially in light of Dimon’s public criticism of the so-called Volcker rule to ban proprietary trading by big banks, and could lead to more heat from Washington on the sector,” wrote CNBC.
