JP Morgan has cancelled a Twitter Q&A session after its #AskJPM hashtag was swamped by trolls.
The bank on Wednesday tweeted that vice chairman Jimmy Lee would host a live Q&A on November 14.
It canned the idea seven hours later, after a barrage of irreverent – and hilarious – tweets were directed at its designated hashtag.
Tomorrow's Q&A is cancelled. Bad Idea. Back to the drawing board.
