Everyone calls him “Jamie.”
And until a couple of days ago the nickname seemed to fit the altar-boy-like CEO of JPMorgan Chase, officially known as James S. Dimon, aka the last untainted executive on Wall Street.
But just like Bear Stearns’ “Jimmy” Cayne and Alan “Ace” Greenberg before him, guys with one-of-the-boys nicknames seem to fall hard and quickly.
Jamie, aged 56, was supposed to get his spanking from shareholders at yesterday’s annual meeting here — and protesters — who are not very pleased about a $2.3 billion loss on a trade linked to Bruno Iksil, known as the “London whale.”
