John Casey, the compliance department’s chief operating officer, is expected to replace Kessler interim basis.
The resignation follows the departure of chief operating officer Sol Kumin, who departed at the end of January.
The hedge fund firm has been under investigation for nearly a decade but an indictment in July 2013 resulted in a series of legal setbacks. It agreed to pay US$1.8 billion to federal prosecutors to settle the charges.
