Moelis has put a senior investment banker, Jonathan Kaye, on leave following a video that emerged of him punching a person in New York during a Pride parade in Brooklyn.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still emerging. The Daily Mail reported that it started after pro-Palestine supporters taunted Kaye, who is Jewish, and he responded by saying they were “on the wrong side”.
