Test II. Case Analysis. Analyze the case and situations given below.

Answer it
briefly.

On June 17, 2019, the United States Customs and Border Protection seized 20
tons of cocaine which were enclosed within the shipping containers aboard the
MSC Gayane in Philadelphia, OA as it travelled from Chile to Europe. This makes it one
of the largest seizures of cocaine in the history of the United States. The Gayane is a
shipping vessel that is owned by JP Morgan and leased out to the Mediterranean
Shipping Company. The 20 tons of cocaine were hidden inside of shipping containers
whose seals were taken off and replaced with near identical ones.

The situation and JP Morgan's subsequent silence on the incident has brought
up questions on whether the organization was involved with any of the drug trafficking.
Because JP Morgan is just the owner, we might want to look at whether the
Mediterranean Shipping Company could be at fault here.

The case is currently being investigated by the United States Government.

Stakeholders

The stakeholders in this case would be: JP Morgan, the Mediterranean Shipping
Company, drug dealers, and cocaine users. Since the Gayane is a vessel owned by JP
Morgan, any wrong doings will be connected back to them. JP Morgan needs to make
sure it has control over the types of operations occurring on board to prevent scandals
that can cost a fortune.
