Sen. Warren: 'About damn time. Tim Sloan should have been fired a long time ago.'
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Tim Sloan, who took over as chief executive of the bank in October 2016, is resigning as CEO immediately, the bank said Thursday in a release. The bank's general counsel, Allen Parker, will take over as interim CEO, and the bank is searching externally for a permanent successor.
Problems at the fourth biggest U.S. bank came to light in 2016 with the news that employees had created millions of fake accounts to meet sales quotas. Since then, more issues tied to sales practices have emerged across the bank's business lines, including mortgage, auto lending and wealth management operations. Last year, the Federal Reserve took the extremely rare step of capping the bank's asset growth after the bank found more problems with customer dealings.
Shares of the bank have struggled amid the fallout from the sales practices scandal and scrutiny from political leaders. Over the last five years, the stock is flat, compared to a near 70 percent jump in J.P. Morgan Chase shares and a 40 percent move higher for the whole S&P financial sector. Late last year, after announcing that he was cutting up to 10 percent of the bank's workforce, Sloan told Bloomberg that he was prepared to remain CEO until he reached the age of 65.
