Who cooked Joe's goose? This was the question being asked in every City bar and speakeasy following speculation that grizzled Euromarket veteran and bus-pass holder, Joe Cook, is no longer firmly on his perch at JP Morgan Chase. What went wrong for Joe? Why did his long ride on the Euromarket gravy-train hit the buffers? For more than 20 years we have never been able to discover exactly what Joe did, but at Orion Bank (very RIP) and dithering JP Morgan, that was never considered to be a career problem.
