       June 24 (Reuters) - Moelis & Co  MC.N  Managing Director
Jonathan Kaye has resigned from the bank, weeks after a video
that showed him striking a woman in Brooklyn was widely shared
online. 
    In a statement shared with Reuters, a Moelis spokesperson
said he was no longer with the firm. 
    Kaye, who joined the bank from Citigroup  C.N  in 2013, ran
the global business services banking unit at Moelis before his
exit. 
    Earlier in June, Moelis put him on leave and said it was
investigating the Brooklyn incident.
    Kaye, whose profile has been removed from the Moelis
website, could not immediately be reached for comment.
    Bloomberg News first reported Kaye's exit from Moelis
earlier on Monday.
