JPMorgan Learns It’s Hard to Hold a Twitter Q&A If Everyone on Twitter Hates You

The Internet not only doesn't forget, it will slap you around if you pretend it does. JPMorgan Chase, which has racked up more than $30 billion in fines and legal fees, announced a Twitter chat earlier this week—a Q&A with JPMorgan vice chairman Jimmy Lee.

The response was immediate, vast and hysterical.

It's a touch reminiscent of last year's #McDStories debacle. McDonald's had started that hashtag with the hope that its followers would share nostalgic stories about Saturday-afternoon Happy Meals with their grandparents. Yeah, no.

JPMorgan has responded to the #AskJPM backlash with a simple, straightforward tweet that was just short of saying, "That Q&A? LOL, please disregard."
