Holy Shit - Barclays boss Jes Staley in shock exit over Epstein inquiry
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59117084The City watchdog and Bank of England have been investigating if Mr Staley's relationship to the dead financier was closer than first thought.
Barclays said it had been made aware of the conclusions of the probe and "Mr Staley's intention to contest them".
Regulators began investigating after getting a cache of emails between the men from Mr Staley's former employer.
Before joining Barclays the married father-of-two was an executive at US bank JP Morgan, where Epstein, who took his own life in 2019 while in prison, was already a client.
Over many years, Epstein, who was convicted of trafficking a minor for prostitution in 2008 and served 13 months in custody, cultivated contact with the rich and powerful, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

Yah think? I never bought that story 
... in one way or another.
He befriended scientists and researchers by giving them money. He befriended politicians and legislators by giving them money. He got special treatment from police, judges and prosecutors by giving them money. How did he get all his money? Mostly through blackmailing very rich men, but also by cheating the government out of taxes. Not everyone received the "sexual favors" but they all got something. Epstein had everyone's number and he was very good at playing the game.
What a sick puppy that man was. Good riddance!
but yes he was an evil fuck
