A former JPMorgan Chase employee has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct by a female executive. The suit claims the bank enabled the alleged behavior.
JPMorgan Chase reportedly offered $1 million to settle the complaint before it became public. The bank stated this offer was to avoid litigation costs and support an employee facing reputational harm.
JPMorgan and the accused executive deny the allegations. The bank indicates an internal investigation found no supporting evidence, and the complainant reportedly declined to participate or provide facts.
