JP Morgan Chase Treasurer, Joseph Bonocore, left the bank in October 2011, and his replacement took office in March 2012. Bonocore had served as chief risk officer of the Chief Investment Office for 11 years and was intimately familiar with its operations. The executive in charge of risk management at the Chief Investment Office had little risk management experience. Mr. Goldman was named chief risk officer in February 2012. His brother in law Barry Zubrow had previously served as chief risk officer of the bank for many years. In January 2012, Zubrow took the position of head of corporate regulatory affairs. Goldman had spent most of his years as a trader starting at Salomon Brothers in 1980's He later worked at Credit Suisse and Cantor Fitzgerald. He left Cantor after his unit incurred trading losses. In February 2012, Goldman, Zubrow and Ms Drew met with officers of the Federal Reserve arguing in favor of less regulation on proprietary trading, including the Volcker Rule, according to Fed documents.

A behind the scenes account of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's discovery and response to large losses

01/15/2010

Dimon's first encounter with the losses at the bank was through an account of Chief Investment Office trader Iksil's trades in the Wall Street Journal on April 6, 2012. The trader was referred to as the "London Whale" and large losses were mentioned. This has raised questions about whether banks of the size of JP Morgan can even be effectively managed by a CEO. The decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Treasury and regulators to encourage the merger of failed financial firms Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual with JP Morgan Chase- ostensibly because no mechanism to wind down such firms existed- not only created a mega bank but also created additional risks from banks too big to manage.
