Maybe this was the tempest in a teapot. After weeks of debate over whether Jamie Dimon should, or even could, keep his dual roles as chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan, shareholders have spoken. In the end, only 32 per cent supported a proposal to install an independent chairman, even less than the 40 per cent who voted in favour of a similar proposal last year. The $6bn that the London Whale scandal cost the bank, the questions it raised about risk oversight and the allegations of misleading regulators and investors were not sufficient to sway shareholders’ belief in Mr Dimon’s long-term performance.
或许这只是一场“茶壶里的风暴”。在人们就杰米•戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)是否应当（甚至是否能被允许）继续身兼董事长和首席执行官两职辩论了数周之后，摩根大通(JPMorgan)的股东们举行了投票表决。最终，只有32%的股东赞成一项设立独立董事长的提议，这一数字甚至低于去年的水平——去年在就一项类似提议进行表决时，投赞成票的还占到40%。“伦敦鲸”(London Whale)丑闻造成的60亿美元亏损及其引发的风险管理疑问，再加上有关误导监管机构和投资者的指控，均不足以撼动股东对戴蒙长期表现的信任。
