A JPMorgan Chase employee has filed a lawsuit against the bank claiming he was discriminated against when he tried to blow the whistle on a hedge fund firm.

In a complaint filed in Connecticut state court this week, Kevin Dillion claims he tried to alert his supervisors to problems with the accounting and management practices of Highland Capital Management. According to the complaint, supervisors responded to Dillon’s complaints by giving him poor performance reviews and withholding bonuses.

The lawsuit also alleges that a JPMorgan supervisor regularly described his gun collection to Dillon and explained what he would do if anyone ever crossed him.
