For context VP is not really a senior position in JP Morgan anymore. There is such a thing as a Senior VP too, but even that is usually gained by time served as opposed to suggesting someone with real decision making power.
Obviously the VPs in this case may have sway, but it sounds more likely they overstepped, creating a particularly unsavoury mess.
