Turns out JPMorgan Chase (JPM) owned an interest in a commercial lot in Atlanta--or so the city thought. Unfortunately, the lot had turned into something of a dump, where old tires and debris were piled high, prompting the city to act. Authorities issued a citation for dumping violations, which named the bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon (Jamie Dimon news).

According to the New York Post, a municipal court hearing was scheduled for earlier this month, a chance for Dimon to answer the messy site, but no one showed up. The court then issued a failure-to-appear warrant. For whatever reason, they left Dimon's name off the warrant, though a name usually does appear.

Atlanta officials stress that they never intended to have Dimon arrested. Which could prove to be really embarrassing. The bank soon retained a law firm to resolve the matter. In doing so, it argued that the bank was not the owner. City officials may not necessarily agree but they are continuing to investigate what they say is a serious health matter.
