Chase Manhattan / Vichy Collaboration
mechanismMoney & Finance
A major American bank kept making money in Nazi-occupied Paris and froze Jewish customers' accounts to please the occupiers.
Who they are
Chase Manhattan's Paris branch under the Nazi-collaborationist Vichy government.
What they do
The engine treats it as a case where profit came before national loyalty or human rights.
How it works
The Paris branch kept operating profitably under Vichy. Treasury investigations found it showed 'uncalled-for responsiveness to German desires' and systematically froze and seized Jewish accounts to curry favor with the occupation. JP Morgan's Paris office collaborated similarly.
Why it matters
It matters as documented evidence that extracting capital took absolute priority over both national allegiance and human rights.
