Morgan acted inappropriately in hiring children of well-connected Chinese officials<\/strong><\/a> in order to secure business deals. From the New York Times Dealbook blog:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In one instance, the bank hired the son of a former Chinese banking regulator who is now the chairman of the China Everbright Group, a state-controlled financial conglomerate, according to the document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, as well as public records. After the chairman\u2019s son came on board, JPMorgan secured multiple coveted assignments from the Chinese conglomerate, including advising a subsidiary of the company on a stock offering, records show.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] The government document and public records do not definitively link JPMorgan\u2019s hiring practices to its ability to win business, nor do they suggest that the employees were unqualified. Furthermore, the records do not indicate that the employees helped JPMorgan secure business. The bank has not been accused of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the S.E.C.\u2019s request outlined in the confidential document hints at a broader hiring strategy at JPMorgan\u2019s Chinese offices. Authorities suspect that JPMorgan routinely hired young associates who hailed from well-connected Chinese families that ultimately offered the bank business. Beyond the daughter of the railway official, the S.E.C. document inquired about \u201call JPMorgan employees who performed work for or on behalf of the Ministry of Railways\u201d over the last six-plus years.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for JPMorgan said, \u201cWe publicly disclosed this matter in our 10-Q filing last week, and are fully cooperating with regulators.\u201d [<a href=\"http:\/\/dealbook.nytimes.com\/2013\/08\/17\/hiring-in-china-by-jpmorgan-under-scrutiny\/?emc=edit_na_20130817&#038;_r=0\"><strong>Source<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. investigators are looking into whether J.P.
