Following hours of ridicule, the bank chose to cancel its Q&A rather than attempt to answer the questions (‘What’s your favourite kind of whale?)
‘@jpmorgan could you cancel your criminal trading operations next?’

This pre-scheduled tweet (complete with the decidedly equine ‘hit the hay’) was posted in the midst of the furore
‘Not sure Tesco should make horse jokes’
