http://hereisthecity.com/2012/05/14/jpmorgan-may-dismiss-all-unit-london-staff-as-trading-loss-probe/ Bloomberg reports that, according to its sources, the entire London staff of JPMorgan’s Chief Investment Office is at risk of dismissal after that huge trading loss was announced last week. The unit employs a few dozen people.
The firm is examining whether anyone in the unit sought to hide or understate the losses, although there's said to be no evidence that this is the case at present.
In the meantime, The Wall Street Journal reports that the loss, which various reports are now putting at between $2bn - $2.3bn, increased by $150m on Friday (the positions remain open). JPMorgan estimates that it could eventually hit $4bn, although this could be substantially lower if the trades move in its favour.
