A jury could conclude allegations made by a former JPMorgan Chase compliance executive who said she was fired for blowing the whistle have merit, a federal judge ruled.
Shaquala Williams sued JPMorgan in November, alleging she was fired for pointing out flaws in the bank’s compliance program and misrepresentations it made to regulators regarding a 2016 settlement of bribery allegations in the Asia Pacific region.
Williams was hired in July 2018 as a vice president in the bank’s global anti-corruption compliance department. She alleged the bank fired her in October 2019 in retaliation for her attempts to escalate internally her concerns about the bank’s anti-money laundering (AML) compliance program.

Regulators like the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are being thrown into disarray by layoffs and restructuring. Still, whistleblowers will likely continue coming forward.
