The Woman Who Took the Fall for JPMorgan Chase

The $6 billion blunder has turned out to be no more than a minor ding on JPMorgan Chase's mighty balance sheet.

In 30 years in the banking industry, she ascended to a level of power and wealth that few women have known. Her rise tells an unlikely story of what it takes to succeed as an interloper in the Wall Street boys' club. Her fall is a murkier tale about how executives are coping with the growing public scrutiny and skepticism about what exactly banks are doing with all our money.
