Viral Knicks Parade Trash Can Incident Ends JPMorgan Role

Angie Baez, 40, the JPMorgan Chase executive identified by the New York Post as the woman seen dumping out and taking a Knicks-themed blue-and-orange trash can during Manhattan’s Knicks championship parade, is no longer with the bank, a JPMorgan spokesperson said. The New York Post reported her identity; the department that issued the special-edition cans—the NYC Department of Sanitation—acknowledged the can was returned to the city. The agency condemned dumping public property and illegal behavior, and Baez’s own Instagram poster expressed remorse after the incident, which began on TikTok.
