Epstein links catch up with Barclays chief Staley
For nearly six years running British bank Barclays, American Jes Staley built a reputation as a corporate survivor but the former JPMorgan dealmaker could not escape his past. During a tumultuous tenure, Staley, 64, fought off a corporate raider’s attempts to break up the bank, survived a probe into his mistreatment of a whistleblower, and navigated Britain’s third-biggest lender through the coronavirus pandemic. But it was Staley’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein starting from his time at JPMorgan that finally forced him out.
