Bruce "Jimbo" Gin

Bruce "Jimbo" Gin is a 55-year-old Korean Wall Street veteran whose career has been as much a product of calculated self-interest as professional acumen. With a receding hairline and a growing paunch that underscore his years in the high-stress world of finance, Jimbo is the head of the risk department at his firm—though few would argue he’s truly qualified for the role. His survival in the competitive environment of Wall Street can be attributed less to expertise and more to his skillful bootlicking and a penchant for political maneuvering. A graduate of an Ivy League institution, Jimbo carries an air of entitlement that he believes sets him apart from his colleagues, particularly immigrants, toward whom he harbors an unmistakable bias. Despite this, his demeanor undergoes a noticeable transformation depending on his audience. In meetings with the powerful global markets division, he is deferential, eager to please, and almost obsequious. In contrast, with his subordinates, he adopts a domineering and dismissive attitude, often masking his insecurity with a façade of authority. One of Jimbo’s more controversial tendencies is his apparent preference for surrounding himself with young, attractive women in their 20s, often those seeking to advance their careers within the division. These women are conspicuously present during late-night meetings, raising eyebrows among colleagues who see the pattern as more than coincidental. While Jimbo presents this as a commitment to mentoring promising talent, the optics suggest a calculated attempt to bolster his image and distract from his own inadequacies.
