Investors began to learn the truth on Nov. 1, 2021, when Barclays announced Staley’s departure after becoming aware of the FCA’s preliminary conclusions regarding the company’s and Staley’s characterization of the Epstein relationship. Subsequently, the Financial Times reported that Staley and Epstein exchanged 1,200 emails over a four-year period and, just before joining Barclays in 2015, Staley sailed his yacht to Epstein’s island in the Caribbean. Finally, on Oct. 12, 2023, the FCA announced that “Staley recklessly approved a letter sent by Barclays to the FCA, which contained two misleading statements, about the nature of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the point of their last contact.” The FCA fined Staley, barred him from the financial services industry and observed that Staley’s emails described Epstein as one of his “deepest” and “most cherished” friends. Each of these events drove the price of Barclays American Depositary Shares lower. “We’re focused on investors’ losses and are investigating whether Barclays may have intentionally misled investors about the nature of the Staley-Epstein relationship,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
