Goldman, who JPMorgan named in February as chief risk officer of its London-based Chief Investment Office, was put on leave as part of an internal onverhaul of the division on May 14, after the company announced the trading loss.
Goldman's brother-in-law, Barry Zubrow, is head of JPMorgan's office of corporate and regulatory affairs, and until early this year he was chief risk officer for the entire company.
