"bold"Barclays boss Jes Staley 'deeply regrets' sex offender link
Barclays boss Jes Staley said he "deeply regrets" his connection with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
His comments come after Barclays revealed that UK regulators are investigating the chief executive's links with the disgraced financier.
Mr Staley admitted he maintained contact with Epstein, who died in New York prison cell last year, for seven years after his conviction.
Barclays said Mr Staley has the "full confidence" of the board.
"It has been very well known I had a professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein," Mr Staley told reporters on Thursday. "It goes back to 2000 when I was asked to run the JP Morgan private bank and he was already a client when I joined the private bank.
"The relationship was maintained during my time at JP Morgan but as I left JP Morgan the relationship tapered off quite significantly. Obviously I thought I knew him well and I didn't. For sure, with hindsight with what we know now, I deeply regret having any relationship with Jeffrey."
Epstein died in his prison last August after being charged with sex trafficking underage girls. It came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.
The probe by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority will focus on Mr Staley's "characterisation to the company of his relationship" with Epstein.
The Financial Conduct Authority oversees bad behaviour in the City, while the Prudential Regulation Authority looks into financial stability.
Fresh blow
In a statement to the stock market, Barclays said: "As has been widely reported, earlier in his career Mr Staley developed a professional relationship with Mr Epstein. In the summer of 2019, in light of the renewed media interest in the relationship, Mr Staley volunteered and gave to certain executives, and the chairman, an explanation of his relationship with Mr Epstein."
Barclays added that Mr Staley said he had had no contact with Epstein since joining his current employer in December 2015. The bank added: "The relationship between Mr Staley and Mr Epstein was the subject of an inquiry from the Financial Conduct Authority, to which the company responded.
"The FCA and the Prudential Regulation Authority subsequently commenced an investigation, which is ongoing, into Mr Staley's characterisation to the company of his relationship with Mr Epstein and the subsequent description of that relationship in the company's response to the FCA."
Separately, in an interview on Bloomberg Television on Thursday, Mr Staley said that he feels he has been transparent with how he characterised his relationship with Epstein.
"The board has done its own review, and they've looked back at my transparency and they concluded indeed that I have been transparent and open with the bank and with the board all along this process," he said. "But there is a regulatory process that is ongoing, and we'll let that run it's course."
The news will be a fresh blow to Mr Staley who is trying to rebuild his image after being sanctioned for attempting to unmask the identity of a whistleblower at Barclays.

Epstein was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges when he was found dead in his cell on 10 August
The bank was fined $15m (£11.6m) in the US and Mr Staley was fined £642,430 in the UK for breaching rules by attempting to find whoever raised concerns over an executive Mr Staley hired.
The bank received two letters in 2016 criticising the decision and raising concerns about the executive's experience. Instead of being handed to the bank's investigations team, one of the letters was distributed among senior managers, including Mr Staley.
Barclays also cut his bonus by £500,000.
In another embarrassing episode in 2017, Mr Staley fell for an email prank when a disgruntled customer pretended to be his boss at the time, former chairman John McFarlane.
Mr Staley exchanged several emails with the imposter, who used a Gmail email address, the Financial Times reported. Under his stewardship, the bank's shares have lost about 25% of their value.
The shares were down more than 3% in early trading on Thursday as the bank reported that pre-tax profits for the year jumped 25% to £4.4bn.
Higher revenue and lower costs helped profits advance, the bank said, particularly at its international business.
What's notable about this article is it doesn't say the [JE] killed himself.. "died in his prison" "was found dead in his cell" but no "killed himself" or "committed suicide"..

Barclays picks Rothschild veteran Nigel Higgins as next chairman
Barclays Plc (BARC.L) said on Thursday that Nigel Higgins, the deputy chairman of Rothschild & Co (ROTH.PA), would succeed John McFarlane as chairman on May 2 next year when he retires after serving his four-year term. Higgins will join the Barclays Board as a Non-Executive Director on March 1, 2019 and take over as chairman in May after the AGM, the bank said in a statement. "In Nigel Higgins we have found an ideal candidate. He is a hugely respected banker, a strategic thinker, someone with extensive international experience, and he has a strong positive leadership style," said Crawford Gillies, who led the process to appoint a successor to McFarlane.
Barclays, one of Britain's biggest banks, has been subject to radical transformation in recent years and has faced uncertainty over its leadership, mainly due to regulatory scrutiny of chief executive Jes Staley's treatment of a whistleblower. Since taking over as CEO in December 2015, Staley has pushed an investment banking-led strategy that has drawn criticism from some shareholders and been the target of a campaign by activist investor Edward Bramson. Bramson's Sherborne Investors (SIGC.L) holds a 5.4 percent stake in the bank and was in talks with Barclays earlier this year about replacing McFarlane as part of an overhaul.
Sherborne told 2018's AGM in May "you are not getting rid of me yet." When he retires next year he will have served his full four-year term. "Succeeding John McFarlane, who has done such a sterling job during a period of great change at Barclays, is a huge honor…. I am totally committed to helping Barclays and its people continue to develop and progress," Higgins said. Barclays said in its statement Higgins has extensive experience of banking and financial services, gained through a 36-year career at Rothschild. It added he had a strong track record as a strategic adviser to multiple major corporations and governments, a wealth of experience in building teams and culture on an international scale, and in growing businesses. Sherborne is a specialist "turnaround" fund that wants Barclays to improve its financial strength and competitive position.
The bank last week reported third quarter profit before tax of 1.6 billion pounds ($2.07 billion), excluding litigation and conduct costs, above the 1.33 billion pounds expected by analysts polled by the bank. The profit excluded costs from litigation and fines for misconduct, which have blighted Barclays in recent years as it paid out for misdeeds during and after the financial crisis.

Q Research AUSTRALIA #9 - Welcome to the Digital Battlefield Edition
Senior Westpac contingent pushes for bank to settle Austrac legal case
Internal momentum is building for Westpac to settle explosive legal action brought by Austrac, with a contingent of senior bank staff pushing for it to bite the bullet.
The reputation damage that continues to flow from the legal action, brought by the financial crimes regulator, and its ever-bulging case against Westpac is prompting a rethink of the view it shouldn't agree to a bumper $1.5bn penalty.
The parties have been at loggerheads over the size of a penalty for the bank's growing list of transgressions, with Westpac putting aside $900m for a settlement and Austrac said to be pushing for about $1.5bn.
But against the backdrop of Australia's first recession in almost three decades and a renewed spike in COVID-19 cases clouding the outlook for credit losses, some senior parties in the Westpac corner believe accepting the higher settlement is the best way forward.
The damning claims, including that Westpac helped facilitate payments that funded child exploitation and pedophilia, continue to haunt the bank. The situation is exacerbated by Westpac last week disclosing it had not reported a further 175,000 transactions to Austrac and that about 360,000 reports that were made may have included "incomplete or inaccurate information".
While Westpac admitted to the bulk of the initial 23 million breaches of the law - alleged by Austrac late last year - the parties continued to bicker over outstanding issues. Westpac, now led by chief executive Peter King and chairman John McFarlane, has previously expressed appetite for a financial settlement but the amount in question and issues over whether the bank had a compliance system in place have proven to be stumbling blocks.
This column understands mediation is yet to restart between Austrac and the bank. But if Westpac doesn't settle, the court battle will be a protracted and costly one.
Just this week, the Federal Court granted Austrac an extension to lodge a revised statement of claim with Westpac by September 25, which would include a long list of further potential breaches of the law.
Initially the amended statement of claim was due to be filed with the court on August 14, and the next case management hearing had been scheduled for September. The next hearing is now slated for October 21.
Westpac has until mid-October to decide if it "consents or objects" to the amended statement of claim.
A Westpac board meeting is being held on Friday, where the Austrac battle and the outstanding issues will be part of a broader discussion. That comes ahead of the bank providing investors with a third-quarter earnings update in mid-August. It will include Westpac's expectations around loan losses and the prospect of paying out a lower dividend under the banking regulator's revised guidance for payments not to exceed 50 per cent of earnings.
After Westpac received a roasting last week from Attorney-General Christian Porter over its approach to the Austrac matter, settling the legal case in the current climate makes a lot of sense.
"Any assertion that only Westpac has all the facts relating to this matter demonstrates the sort of arrogance and lack of understanding that led to the alleged breaches arising," Porter said.
A decision by the bank to agree to a record $1.5bn penalty would also, though, have to be carefully explained to irate shareholders.
Commonwealth Bank agreed to pay a $700m fine to Austrac in 2018 after it faced court proceedings for 53,750 breaches of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act.
