Well, well, well! How surprising indeed. A man who tries to punish a platform where women can speak in defence of safeguarding children and defending women’s rights is revealed to have been a user of Jeffrey Epstein's supply of what effectively amounted to exploited women. Epstein effectively groomed and pimped young women and underage girls to be exploited by rich and influential men.
I wouldn’t believe a word this Jes Staley says as he appears to have been caught out on a bare faced lie in court and also had an attack of a ‘lack of recollection’ which Mulcahy said seemed to be surprising. Yeah, I bet.
Is there no end to these creepy misogynistic men who have been trying to shut women up about safeguarding and the onslaught against women’s rights? And now we see why, for some at least. Dodgy feckers, in my humble opinion. Who turned their support to ‘causes’ which may have damaged more than a few youngsters for life.
Excerpts below from: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/14/jes-staley-case-evidence-barclays-fca
‘The case centred on the contents of a 2019 letter from Barclays to the FCA, which stated that he and Epstein “did not have a close relationship” and were last in contact “well before” Staley became its CEO in 2015.’
‘But the FCA said the two men had a close relationship that “went beyond one that was professional in nature”, and presented Staley with evidence drawn from Epstein’s estate and a cache of 1,200 emails provided by his former employer, JP Morgan.’
’Staley, who took the witness box from Monday, was asked to explain messages where the pair declared their “deep” and “profound” friendship and called each other “family”.’
and
’The former banker struggled to recall details surrounding the more notorious exchanges in which the pair discussed lovers and sex, corresponded from a debutante ball, or cryptically referred to their preferred Disney princesses.
Staley’s lack of explanation surrounding that exchange left Mulcahy to declare that his “lack of recollection seems surprising”.’
