(Bloomberg) — A former JPMorgan Chase & Co. employee was arrested by the FBI on charges of stealing customer data and trying to sell it to an undercover informant for tens of thousands of dollars.

Peter Persaud got unauthorized access to customer accounts and later sold data, including PINs, Social Security numbers and birth dates, as well as debit and bank account security codes, to an informant, said Peter Donald, a Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York.

Even after being suspended by JPMorgan Chase in February, Persaud complained about not having access to the confidential banking data he was trying to sell, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn, N.Y.
