JPMorgan Turns To Twitter, And It Backfires Badly

Have some Saturday schadenfreude! Some genius at JPMorgan Chase thought it would be a brilliant idea to hold a Twitter Q&A. You guessed it – #HilarityEnsued:

Chase execs probably thought they were going to be inundated with questions, like, “What steps can I take to try to become as totally awesome as all of you?” This one can infer from the self-satisfied language of their announcing Tweet, which read:

What career advice would you ask a leading exec at a global firm? Tweet a Q using #AskJPM. On 11/14 a $JPM leader takes over @JPMorgan

…”Downtown Josh Brown” at @ReformedBroker [tweeted]:

I have Mortgage Fraud, Market Manipulation, Credit Card Abuse, Libor Rigging and Predatory Lending AM I DIVERSIFIED? #AskJPM

Adam Coleman @AdamColeman had a more blunt question:

Can I have my house back?

But my favorite of all came from Kevin Roose @kevinroose:

Would you rather negotiate with 1 horse-sized Eric Holder, or 100 duck-sized Eric Holders? #AskJPM
