Mega Edition: How Barclays Was Dragged Into The Epstein Storm (5/14/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Recently,
0:05
we've been talking a lot about Jess Staley and the
0:08
new revelations concerning his emails. Well, something that hasn't been
0:13
talked about nowhere near enough is the fact that Barclays
0:17
was aware of all of this, and not only did
0:20
they give him the job at Barclay's anyway, but they
0:23
let him keep that job even after they launched their
0:26
own internal report, and even after that internal report was
0:31
out and they were aware of what Jess Staley was
0:35
up to with Jeffrey Epstein, Well what did they do?
0:39
They hitched their cart to his horse anyway and let
0:43
him lead Barclays for another what year or so? And
0:47
do you think we're ever going to really see what
0:49
that internal investigation found out? Of course we're not. Barclays
0:53
is going to play that close to the vest and
0:55
continue to be the scumbags they've always been. Today's article
1:00
is from the Financial Times headline Jeffrey Epstein's long shadow
1:05
falls on JP Morgan and Barclay's once more. The author
1:10
of this article is brook Masters. When does giving someone
1:15
the benefit of the doubt cross the line into sticking
1:18
your head in the sand. The leaders of JP, Morgan
1:22
Chase and Barclays need to answer that question in light
1:25
of newly public allegations about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
1:30
And they're former colleague Jess Stay and not for nothing.
1:35
But when all of these other yahoos were out here
1:37
hooton and hollering about this list or that list or
1:41
whatever list, I've been laser focused on the financial sector
1:45
and all of these scumbags that enabled all of this
1:48
to happen. And now all of a sudden, the focus
1:51
is turning towards these scumbags, and people are shocked that
1:55
Jess Staley was involved as deeply as he was. So
1:59
while this whose is shocking to some people, it's certainly
2:02
not shocking to me. Jess Staley by far is one
2:07
of the most powerful people in the financial world, or
2:10
at least he used to be, and the fact that
2:13
he was palling around with Jeffrey Epstein as much as
2:15
he was it told you everything you needed to know
2:19
about what the two of them were up to. Now,
2:22
I didn't have access to those emails until they were
2:24
just released, but I knew that the contents of those
2:27
emails were a lot more than them talking about who
2:30
won the ballgame last night. Epstein, a JP Morgan client
2:36
for more than a decade, died in twenty nineteen while
2:40
awaiting trial on additional charges of abusing young women and girls,
2:45
but connections to him still cast a long shadow over
2:48
individuals ranging from tech giants to royalty. Staley, who served
2:53
at times as the US banks point person with Epstein,
2:57
lost his job as Barclay's chief exis executive in twenty
3:01
twenty one when he opted to fight a preliminary finding
3:04
from the UK regulator that he had been misleading about
3:08
their relationship, meaning Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship. He tried
3:14
to fight the regulators in the UK who brought his
3:17
nonsense to light, and then Barclays, well, they were willing
3:22
to go along and have him control the ship until
3:25
it literally wrecked on the reef. And they did all
3:28
of that for one simple reason, and that reason is greed.
3:33
They knew that if they had a change at the
3:35
top during the time when all of this was breaking
3:38
the pandemic and otherwise, that it would have been terrible
3:41
for Barclays and their shareholders. So instead they decided to
3:45
ride with Jess Daily keep him in the position he
3:48
was in, even though they knew because of their own
3:51
internal reports, that this dude was a scumbag. But I
3:55
guess that Jess Day isn't sallatious enough for all of
3:59
the blue check mark cornballs who all of a sudden
4:02
are interested in Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, both banks were
4:05
dragged further into the scandal when US Virgin Island authorities
4:09
made public some of Staley and Epstein's emails as part
4:13
of a lawsuit alleging that JP Morgan facilitated sex trafficking
4:18
at Epstein's Island compound. The US Bank calls the lawsuit merrilis,
4:23
and Staley, who is not a defendant, has repeatedly denied
4:27
that he was aware of Epstein's misbehavior. Barclay's declined the comment.
4:32
And that's another reason why I always said that the
4:35
US Virgin Island suit is straight up garbage and trash.
4:38
If they really cared about justice, folks, they would have
4:41
made sure that somebody like Jess Staley and his name
4:44
would have been attached to it. But it was all
4:46
about the cash grab down in the US Virgin Islands. Unfortunately,
4:51
the lawsuit alleges that Staley used as work email to
4:55
exchange twelve hundred emails with Epstein and received what the
4:59
lawsuit describes as photos of young women in seductive poses
5:03
from the pedophile. It also alleges Epstein use JP Morgan
5:08
accounts to pay more than one million dollars to at
5:11
least twenty survivors of sexual crimes. In two thousand and nine,
5:16
Staley wrote to Epstein of their profound friendship and heartfelt hug.
5:21
A year later, he emailed say hi to snow White.
5:24
When Epstein responded, what character would you like next, Staley replied,
5:29
Beauty and the Beast, So you do your own deduction.
5:33
They're okay, you don't need me to tell you what
5:35
they're talking about. You know exactly what they're talking about.
5:38
And so did everybody else who looked at these emails,
5:41
who were supposed to be regulators or who were supposed
5:44
to be doing some kind of internal investigation, and they
5:48
didn't care because at the end of the day, all
5:51
that matters is secure in that bag. In the lawsuit,
5:55
JP morgan alleged reaction to mounting evidence of Epstein's misdeeds
6:00
comes across as almost blase. A after his guilty plea.
6:04
In two thousand and eight, an employee speculated that his
6:07
one hundred and twenty million dollars in assets would leave
6:10
the bank pending Jamie Diamond review. Yet the disgraced financier
6:15
Pedophile state a client. So did Jamie Diamond take a
6:19
look at it? And did Jamie Diamond okay it as well?
6:22
These are all of the questions that our shitty ass
6:25
legacy media should be asking, but instead it's left to
6:28
content creators and independent journalists to try and figure it
6:32
all out. Meanwhile, the legacy media is out here running
6:36
all kinds of cover and acting like what's going on
6:39
in Ohio is no big deal. JP Morgan said last week,
6:44
we have not seen any evidence of such a review.
6:47
If Diamond didn't review it, who did did anyone? The
6:51
lawsuit says that when the bank later decided to ask
6:55
Epstein directly about human trafficking claims, they sent Daily, Well,
6:59
of course you're gonna send your guy, right, the guy
7:02
that has a relationship with Epstein. Hell, the guy that
7:04
brought Epstein on board. In twenty ten, Another email asked
7:09
see below new allegations. Are you still comfortable with this
7:13
client who is now a registered sex offender. The response
7:18
these stories pop up. When the head of Anti money
7:20
laundering requested formal reapproval of Epstein as a client in
7:25
twenty and eleven, some one else wrote back, I thought
7:28
we did that in approving a fifty million dollar new
7:31
line of credit last month. So they didn't even know
7:34
what they were doing behind the scenes here. And obviously
7:37
the only people who can make moves like that are
7:39
power players like Jess Daily or someone like Jamie Diamond.
7:45
JP Morgan can certainly argue that convicted felons are entitled
7:49
to bank accounts, and the bank cannot be expected to
7:52
pay close attention to every email and transaction involving a
7:56
free spending mogul. The bank also closed Epstein's againunt in
8:00
twenty thirteen, shortly after Staley departed and before Epstein became
8:05
a target of worldwide outrage. Well, if you cornballs in
8:10
the media would have done your job correctly, he would
8:12
have been a target of worldwide outrage a lot longer
8:15
than that. And the fact that the bank will act like, well,
8:19
we had no idea what was going on. It was
8:22
just Staley who was doing it. Well, he was representing you, right,
8:25
He was the representative of your bank. He was entitled
8:29
to make decisions and sign off on money. So I
8:32
don't want to hear that the bank had no idea.
8:35
It's my opinion that the bank knew and they just
8:38
didn't care. Barclays never banked Epstein, but it's board faces
8:43
tough questions about their choices in twenty twenty after he
8:46
was rearrested. At that time and now public JP Morgan
8:50
emails landed in the lap of UK regulators, who launched
8:54
a probe into whether Staley had misled them about the
8:57
nature of the Epstein relationship. Yet Barclay's board insisted that
9:02
Staley had their full confidence and stuck by him for
9:06
nearly another year. Not everybody, Edward Bramson went absolutely ballistic
9:11
over this. People familiar with the process say the board
9:15
based the decision on their own investigation. It included the emails,
9:19
but not the attachments with the allegedly seductive pictures. They
9:23
also took Staley's history of dogged loyalty and repeated denials
9:27
that he knew anything about sexual misbehavior. Into account. Well, yeah,
9:32
just ask me and I'll tell you I'm not guilty.
9:35
Do they really think that anyone is going to have
9:37
confidence in anything they tell us, Like why would anyone
9:41
trust Barclay's Bank in the best of times, never mind
9:45
now knowing what we know and about how they were
9:48
protecting Jess Staley from getting the acts. People are innocent
9:53
until proven guilty, and felons who have served their time
9:56
deserve second chances, But demands for incontrovert verdible proof can
10:01
be cover for willful blindness. When those involved are wealthy
10:05
and connected to a network of powerful individuals, the pressure
10:09
goes only one way. And that's how it's always been,
10:12
and that's how it's always going to be until everybody
10:14
out there, the pitchforks and the torches, figure out that
10:18
they are in each other's enemy, and the real enemy
10:21
are these bankers and these scumbags who have us all
10:24
in modern day slavery of a financial variety. JP Morgan
10:29
has form on ignoring inconvenient facts. In twenty fourteen, it
10:34
paid two point six billion to end a criminal probe
10:37
into allegations that it turned a blind eye to Bernard
10:41
Madoff's enormous Ponzi scheme. Barclay's had a history of going
10:45
easy on Stay when he pushed legal and ethical boundaries.
10:49
The board previously stood by him when he tried twice
10:52
to uncover the identity of an anonymous whistleblower and was
10:56
fined six hundred and forty two thousand, four hundred and
10:59
thirty pounds over it. Hindsight is always twenty twenty, but
11:04
it's fair to ask whether JP Morgan's interest in keeping
11:07
Epstein's business and the Barclays Board's faith in Staley have
11:11
ended up damaging both institutions and may continue to do so.
11:16
And that's just a little look behind the scenes. Can
11:19
you imagine the other scumbags these banks are in bed
11:21
with that we have no idea about. My guess is
11:25
it's an astronomical number. And we're not just talking about oligarchs, right,
11:31
We're talking about drug traffickers, human traffickers, and all kinds
11:35
of other undesirable pieces as shit. And for some reason,
11:39
nobody in this sector is ever held accountable for anything
11:43
that they do. But I guess when you're paying the bills,
11:46
you also make the rules, all right, folks, that's gonna
11:49
do it for this one. All of the information that
11:52
goes with this episode can be found in the description
11:55
box Elly and Barclay, shall we there's a report out
12:00
saying that Jess Staley will not have to worry about
12:04
Sherborn and Bramson during this upcoming vote, and the reason
12:10
is the Wuhan SARS outbreak and the pandemic that it
12:15
has caused. Now we know the reports that were coming
12:18
out of Barclays before all of this was Staley was
12:21
on his way out by twenty twenty one. I told
12:25
you that that timeline was going to be accelerated, and
12:29
I still believe that timeline is going to be accelerated now.
12:32
I think that what they're doing here, and I said
12:35
it from the beginning of this pandemic, is they're going
12:37
to set Staley up to take the fall. They're going
12:40
to keep him in now and then when it's time
12:42
for heads to roll, after this all passes and they
12:45
see the carnage from the Wuhan SARS outbreak, it's going
12:51
to be an easy decision for the board to jump
12:54
on board with Sherborne and Bramson and Jettison. Jess Staley
13:00
before all of this started that I didn't think he'd
13:02
make it through the summer, and I still don't think
13:04
he's going to make it through the summer. I look
13:07
for Jess Staley to be voted out the second. The
13:10
second things stabilized in the market, or at least appear
13:14
to be stabilized in the market, and there is a
13:17
concise plan going forward to deal with COVID nineteen financially
13:23
as as an industry, with the bankers. Once they get
13:27
to that point and they feel like there's a bit
13:29
of stability, he's gone. Jess Day is finished. There's no
13:33
way Brampton is not going to keep up the jihad.
13:35
He wants nothing to do with Jess Staley being part
13:39
of this board. And from the conversations I've had in
13:42
the last couple of days with some of my people
13:44
in the financial sector, they all said the same thing.
13:47
This man is being set up to be the scapegoat.
13:50
He's definitely going to get the acts. He was going
13:52
to get it before the COVID nineteen outbreak, and now
13:55
it's just a matter of when not if. So we're
13:59
going to jump into this article and see what The
14:01
Guardian has to say about Jess Staley and the upcoming
14:05
vote at Barclay's. The Guardian is the publication, The author
14:13
is Kalina mccortof headline, Barclay CEO avoids vote against reelection
14:20
over Epstein ties. Sounds ominous, right, And they love to
14:24
do that with the headlines. With the headline, you would think,
14:26
oh man, they're just giving up. They're not going to
14:28
vote against Jess Staley to get them out of here.
14:29
They don't care. But in reality, this is all just
14:32
a smoke screen. Remember what I tell you folks all
14:34
the time, We've got to read between the lines when
14:37
we're reading these articles. We have to read between the lines.
14:40
What are they trying to say without saying it? And
14:43
that's the most important part when you're reading articles and
14:46
you're going through the news, because it's not the actual
14:50
message that they're putting out, it's the message that they're
14:52
giving you in between the lines. Barclay's chief executive Jess
14:57
Staley will avoid a potentially embarrassing vote against his reelection
15:01
over his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after activist
15:05
investor Ed Bramson eased up on demands for his removal
15:09
in light of the COVID nineteen outbreak. And again that
15:13
is the whole motivation behind this. They know getting rid
15:16
of their CEO right now in a market that is
15:19
so unstable, will have disastrous results for them. And at
15:23
the end of the day, let's remember Barclays, all they're
15:26
worried about is that bottom line. They're not good guys here, right,
15:29
They're not trying to get rid of Bramps, get rid
15:31
of Staley because he's an evil guy and they don't
15:35
agree with his behavior. No, it's all about optics, right.
15:37
It's not because Barclays is this group of people who
15:41
has this moral standard and Staley, you know, didn't pass it. No,
15:46
it's just because he was outed and the public knows.
15:49
And it's about optics. So don't take this as if
15:51
Barclays is some great group. They're not. But the fact
15:54
of the matter is sometimes an enemy of an enemy
15:57
is my friend. And if Barclays is going to work
16:00
towards getting rid of Staley, I'll support that decision, and
16:03
then I'll go back to criticizing Barclays as a group
16:07
directly after they make that decision. But as of now,
16:10
all I want to see is Staley get the boot.
16:13
Brampton called for Staley's removal last month, but on Thursday
16:17
admitted the bank would need more time to replace the
16:20
chief executive as it tried to deal with the more
16:22
pressing challenge posed by the pandemic. And that's just that's
16:25
basic stuff in the financial sector, right. You want as
16:28
much stability as you possibly can, even if that means
16:31
that the person who is at the Helm might be
16:34
facing an investigation or two. What you want to do
16:37
is make sure that the stability of the organization going
16:41
forward is the most important part of what you have
16:46
going on, and for that they need to have some
16:49
stability through this whole entire thing. Right. But once this
16:53
pandemic passes, wait and see, folks, Staley is so finished
16:57
it's not even funny. Bramson is. His whole entire motivation
17:02
here is to get rid of Staley. He understands that
17:04
with Staley at the Helm, Barclays is never going to
17:07
be as profitable as they would like, and with Sherborne
17:10
holding so much of the stock, it is important obviously
17:15
for them that this company, this bank is turning a profit.
17:19
They have investors they have to answer to as well.
17:22
And if you were an investor in Sherborn and you
17:26
see this meeting coming up, and you know that Bramson
17:29
hates Staley and wants to get rid of them. As
17:32
an investor in Sherborne, you're on board with that, right.
17:35
You want Staley gone too. You don't want the stink
17:37
of Jeffrey Epstein anywhere around your money. So it makes
17:40
sense to get rid of Staley. But if you understand
17:43
the financial markets and you understand how these things work,
17:47
they never want to create more instability in a situation
17:51
that is already unstable. So what you see here is
17:54
Staley being propped up and being put out as the
17:57
fall guy. Rampson, who Sherborne Investors Vehicle owns a stake
18:02
of more than five percent in Barclays, said he was
18:05
calling on Barclay's shareholders to abstain from the vote, which
18:08
is due before the bank's annual general meeting on May seventh.
18:12
It is expected to take place via webcast due to
18:15
physical distancing rules. Well, I wouldn't mind that if I
18:20
was part of the of the group, because I wouldn't
18:23
want to be in a room with any of these people.
18:25
Let's not cut corners here. We all know the financial
18:27
sector is filled with snakes and degenerates, right, and I'm
18:31
sure the Barclays boardroom is no different. A letter sent
18:36
by Bramson, the Barclays shareholders, said, we continue to believe
18:39
that mister Staley has not demonstrated the level of judgment
18:42
befitting a director or senior executive of the company. Now
18:46
remember that's important, because he's letting you know right off
18:50
the bat that they still don't have confidence in Staley. Again,
18:54
let's read between the lines for them. Who better to
18:57
take the fall than Jess Staley when this is all
18:59
said and done. However, as a result of engagement with Barclays,
19:05
and in recognition of the complexity of the management situation
19:08
presented during the COVID nineteen pandemic, we will now, with
19:12
great reluctance only withhold our vote for mister Staley's reappointment
19:16
at the twenty twenty AGM, rather than vote against him. Again, folks,
19:21
I know this sounds bad and you want to be like,
19:24
oh God, damn, Staley's not don't don't fall into that trap.
19:29
This is all posturing. Just like when I told you
19:31
the board acted as if they had faith in him,
19:34
and then we started seeing the reports from sources that
19:37
the board does not have faith in him. It's the
19:39
same situation here. They're putting him up as the fall guy,
19:43
hey Ken, Brampton said fellow shareholders should push the Barclays
19:49
board for a succession timetable. He added that Staley's eventual
19:52
departure would bring an end to what has now degenerated
19:55
into a series of public spectacles. And you see from
19:58
the language here Brampton is not letting up. But again,
20:02
the most important thing to Bramson, and I'm not gonna
20:05
say that, I'm not gonna slam him for this. It's
20:08
his job to make sure that his shareholders are making money.
20:11
I agree with how that works or don't agree with it,
20:14
that's not the point here. The point is his job
20:16
is to make sure that his people who have bought
20:19
into his Sherborne vehicle, that they're making a profit. And
20:24
in Bramson's mind, and in the mind of just about
20:27
every speculator I've spoken to with Jess Staley at the helm,
20:31
especially after this all calms down and the spotlight goes
20:34
back on to the Jeffrey Epstein case, there's zero chance
20:37
that Staley is going to be able to lead Barclays
20:40
going forward in a profitable manner, especially trying to climb
20:43
out of this COVID nineteen hole. UK regulators are investigating
20:48
whether Staley was sufficiently transparent about his relationship with Epstein,
20:52
who died in prison in August twenty nineteen while awaiting
20:56
trial on charges of trafficking underage girls. Staley, who joined
21:01
Barclays in twenty and fifteen, has said he developed a
21:04
relationship with Epstein in two thousand, when he became the
21:06
boss of JP Morgan's private bank, which counted Epstein among
21:10
its wealthy customers. Again, I want a complete audit of
21:15
JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, all of these banks that were
21:18
involved with Epstein need to be audited under RICO statutes.
21:22
Pretty simple, and that goes for Jess Staley as well.
21:25
We need to know exactly what Staley and Epstein were
21:28
up to, if there were any deals being made on
21:30
the side, how many bags of cash were being dropped
21:33
off all of it. If it was up to me
21:36
and I was in charge of this, I would have
21:37
a team of fifty to one hundred forensic accountants going
21:41
crazy on this case. The Barclays boss said his relationship
21:47
with Epstein tapered off after he left JP Morgan in
21:50
twenty and thirteen. What year was Jeffrey Epstein convicted again?
21:53
How can you still hang out with Jeffrey Epstein after
21:56
a conviction and then get the job as Barclay's boss.
21:59
I'll tell you how, because they really don't care in
22:01
the financial sector. That's how he made a final visit
22:07
to Epstein's private Caribbean island with his wife in the
22:10
final months of twenty and fifteen. Again, what sort of
22:13
scumbag brings their wife to go hang out with a
22:16
sex offender. I would be mortified to introduce my wife
22:20
or my girlfriend or my fiance to a sex offender
22:24
and go hang out on his island. You have all
22:26
the money in the world. I mean literally, Jess Staley
22:29
is so god dang rich that it's not even funny.
22:32
But yet he's still cavorting with Epstein. He still has
22:35
to go to Epstein's island to hang out and have
22:37
a vacation. Bro buy your own island, go rent one out.
22:41
Why are you hanging out with a pedophile? The Epstein
22:46
investigation comes less than two years after Staley was fined
22:49
almost six hundred and fifty thousand pounds for attempting to
22:52
unmask a whistleblower at Barclays in twenty and sixteen. Yeah,
22:56
of course, that's how he rolls. He's just like his
22:58
boy Epstein. All of these folks deal in intimidation, they
23:02
all deal in tampering, they all deal in paying off witnesses.
23:08
It's just their moo. That's how all these these sons
23:11
of bitches operate. And it's disgusting to see. Barclays is
23:16
backing its chief executive officer and said Staley retains the
23:20
full confidence of the board and is being unanimously recommended
23:24
for reelection At the AGM. It conducted its own review
23:28
of Staley's relationship with Epstein and had concluded the chief
23:31
executive had been sufficiently transparent with the company as regards
23:36
the nature and extent of his relationship with mister Epstein.
23:40
Talk about lip service, Wow, that is nothing more than
23:44
to prop up the market. That comment. There is nothing
23:46
more than to prop up the market and to make
23:48
sure that people have some confidence that the leadership isn't
23:52
going to be rocked at Barclays. And in reality, I
23:56
think that it's bad for Barclays to even go this route.
24:00
When all is said and done, I am not going
24:03
to forget the way Barclays has conducted themselves. How some
24:06
members of the board still have full confidence in Staley.
24:09
But now remember the rumblings and the scuttle butt around
24:14
the table in the financial sector is the opposite. So
24:19
I still stick to the belief that by the end
24:21
of the summer and maybe into the early fall before
24:28
we see Staley go, there's no way he makes it
24:30
to twenty twenty one. Zero chance. The second this pandemic
24:33
starts to slow down, and the second the banking market
24:37
starts to stabilize even just a little bit, expect for
24:40
Bramson to renew his calls and look to get rid
24:43
of Jess Staley in a hostile takeover. I'd like to
24:48
contact me. You could do that at Bobby Capucci at
24:50
Protonmeil dot com. That's Bobby c ap u Cci. What's up,
24:56
every one, and welcome to the Jeffrey Epstein Show. I'm
24:59
your Bobby Capucci and this is a morning update. What's
25:05
up everyone in Greetings from Sin City. Hope you're all
25:10
having a great week so far, and hopefully your Halloween
25:13
weekend was marvelous. Waking up today was like waking up
25:20
to a fantastic Christmas present after you've been waiting all
25:23
year to unwrap it. What might that be, you ask, Well,
25:28
Jess Staley is stepping down from his position over at Barclay's. Now,
25:34
if to remember, right before the pandemic cracked off, Jess
25:39
Staley was under immense amount of fire and pressure for
25:43
his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now Edward Bramson, who was
25:49
an investor at Barclays and a big time investor over there,
25:52
was putting the screws to Barclay's management and Jess Staley
25:58
to get him out of dodge, and he was pressuring
26:01
them for quite some time to make it happen. Now,
26:05
if the pandemic never cracked off, Jess Staley would have
26:08
been out of this position a very, very, very long
26:11
time ago. But with the pandemic and the fact that
26:15
Barclay's somehow, huh somehow was making a ton of money, well,
26:20
it offered Jess Staley the protection that he needed to
26:25
stay in that role for as long as he did. Well,
26:28
that's over. After an internal investigation into his relationship with
26:34
Jeffrey Epstein, Barclays and Jess Staley are parting ways and
26:40
I couldn't be happier. Jess Staley is one of the
26:43
people that I'm always talking about on the podcast when
26:46
we're talking about people in the world of finance, the
26:50
scumbags who were funneling the dark money, making the transactions
26:55
happen for Jeffrey Epstein in his criminal Conspiracy, Jess Staley's
26:59
right at the time of that list, Folks, this is
27:02
a man who has been doing this forever. This is
27:05
one of the most powerful bankers in the world. You
27:09
need to tell me he had no idea what Jeffrey
27:11
Epstein was, who Jeffrey Epstein was, or what Jeffrey Epstein
27:15
was up to. He knew, he didn't care. It's all
27:19
about the money, right, all about the mighty dollar and
27:22
secure in a bag, no matter the results, as long
27:26
as the means justifies the ends. That's how our overlords
27:30
and dictators think, folks, And that's what these bankers are.
27:33
There are overlords, there are dictators. What do you think
27:37
George Carlin was messing around when he said the politicians
27:41
don't mean shit. It's the bankers and the bagmen who
27:44
send him there. I think for some required homework, everybody
27:48
should go and listen to some George Carlin because everything
27:52
that he had to say resonates even more today as
27:56
we look at the current society that we live in,
28:00
and this guy, Jess Staley, is at the top of
28:03
the list for scumbag enablers in my opinion, when it
28:07
comes to money and helping Jeffrey Epstein facilitate his crimes
28:12
for this long. It could have never been done. And
28:15
listen to me, clearly, folks, it could have never been
28:17
done without the assistance of these bankers. And can you
28:23
tell me how many of them are in jail, how
28:25
many of them have been indicted? Oh, that's right, none
28:28
of them. That's because all of your favorite politicians that
28:31
you're cheering for, your blue wave politicians or your MAGA friends,
28:39
they don't care about you. None of these politicians do.
28:42
They care about secure in a bag, and they care
28:44
about getting re elected. And once they accept the money
28:48
from these people like Staley, well now they're on the hook, right.
28:52
And guess who owns people like Staley? Well, people like Epstein.
28:57
Fantastic circle we find ourselves in. Huh you wonder why
29:00
I say I have no interest in just stopping the wheel.
29:04
I want to break the wheel because enough is enough.
29:11
And the men of always have gotten along and gotten
29:14
away with destroying the lives and dreams of the children
29:17
of never for for much too long, and somebody like
29:21
Jess Staley being held accountable and being held responsible is
29:26
certainly a step in the right direction. So let's check
29:30
out this article from Reuter's and let's see what author
29:35
Rachel Armstrong and Lawrence White have to say. Headline Barclay's
29:41
CEO Staley resigns after Epstein probe. Barclay's chief executive Jess
29:51
Staley is leaving the bank after a dispute with British
29:55
financial regulators over how he described his ties with convicted
29:59
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now we know that this internal
30:03
report has been going on for a minute, and my
30:05
guess is that Barclays dragged it out a bit, kicked
30:10
it down the road a little bit till after the
30:13
pandemic was a bit stabilized so that they wouldn't be
30:15
affected financially. Now, obviously I don't have any evidence of that,
30:20
but again, no matter where you go in the universe,
30:23
two plus two equals four, right, so you know pretty
30:27
obvious what they were doing here, and it's laughable for
30:32
them to say any different. This was all about the
30:34
bottom line. This was all about the investors not panicking
30:38
and leaving in droves, and this was all about mitigating
30:43
the dirty shit pie that they find on their face.
30:52
Staley will be replaced as CEO by Barclay's head of
30:55
Global Market CS Ventac, Crashing Nannin. They call on Im Vencat,
31:02
who on Monday pledged to continue his predecessor's strategy, So
31:07
all systems go. We'll just continue doing everything that Jess
31:12
was doing here because we were making so much money.
31:14
And I get that right. You know, my beef with
31:17
Jess Staley is not how he's running Barclays. I don't
31:21
know enough about what these stupid ass bankers do to
31:24
have that kind of opinion. My problem is the dude
31:28
is morally bankrupt. A scumbag. Was facilitating the financial aspects
31:34
of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise and was a very close
31:38
confidant of Jeffrey Epstein, and he lied about it. So
31:42
when all of those things come into play, it doesn't
31:44
matter how much money you're bringing in if you're gonna
31:47
make everybody look the fool. And that's where they found
31:51
themselves at. While Staley was good at securing that bag,
31:54
the fallout, that's gonna radiate over. This was just too
31:58
much for them to deal with. So see you later, pal,
32:01
hope they still got some unemployment over in England for
32:03
you to get. Then again, he's an American, so he
32:05
better come back here. Mister Staley, the six hundred has done,
32:08
my friend. I hear Walmart's hiring though. Staley's shock departure
32:14
comes after Barclays was informed on Friday of the unpublished
32:18
findings of a report by Britain's Financial Conduct Authority and
32:22
the Prudential Regulatory Authority into Staley's characterization of his relationship
32:27
with Epstein, who killed himself allegedly in jail in August
32:32
twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on federal charges related related
32:38
to sex trafficking. So this definitely caught me by surprise
32:41
this morning, one hundred percent. I wasn't expecting to wake
32:45
up and have this gift drop in my lap. Figured
32:48
we'd still be plugging along talking about Glenn Maxwell's ridiculous
32:53
request in court or something like that. But here we
32:56
are with some pretty big news. This is a big
32:58
time casualty, folks. This dude is a very very powerful man,
33:04
right up there with the Leon Blacks of the world
33:07
and the Glenn Dubins, and I'd say even more powerful
33:10
than someone like Glenn Duben being in charge of Barclays.
33:13
Oh yeah, that's a big deal, high prestige job. But
33:17
guess what. You can't be buddies with child molesters, my friend.
33:21
You can't go and hang out at their beach house,
33:24
my friend, Not if you don't want to have people
33:27
get some slap back come in your way, not if
33:30
you want to keep your cushy ass bazillion dollar a
33:32
year job. In view of those conclusions and mister Staley's
33:37
intention to contest them, the board and mister Staley have
33:41
agreed that he will step down from his role as
33:43
group chief executive and as director of Barclays. The bank said, Oh,
33:48
he's gonna fight them iss he Well that's good. I'm always,
33:51
you know, bruin for a good scrap. So I'll be
33:54
here every day to challenge his nonsense, right along, punch
34:00
a piece by piece, because you know it's going to
34:04
be nonsense. How are you going to defend your relationship
34:07
with Jeffrey Epstein. What he's going to do is try
34:10
and downplay it, right, That's what they all do. Oh,
34:12
we weren't really friends. Oh I was only there one time. Oh,
34:16
this was just a business arrangement, when in reality it
34:20
was much more than that. And obviously this report is
34:24
going to show that as well. They saw something in
34:28
this report that they didn't like enough, so that Staley
34:31
is gone. Now comes the cover your ass part. It
34:37
should be noted that the investigation makes no findings that
34:40
mister Staley saw or was aware of any of mister
34:43
Epstein's alleged crimes, which was the central question underpinning Barclay's
34:48
support for mister Staley following the arrest of mister Epstein
34:51
in the summer of twenty nineteen. Barclay shares fell two
34:56
percent following the announcement. So basically, what they're saying, well,
35:00
we're firing him, the head of our bank, who was
35:03
making great money because of what He didn't see anything,
35:06
he knew nothing, So what are you firing him for?
35:09
They're just trying to put a little dressing on this, right,
35:13
a little garnish, make it look a little bit better
35:16
for mister Staley, when in reality we all know this
35:19
is bad news. He has this stigma attached to him now,
35:24
and while nobody's sitting here saying mister Staley was involved
35:26
in abusing anybody. I certainly have never said that. He
35:30
has enabled and helped Jeffrey Epstein financially every step of
35:34
the way. And again, this is another reason why there's
35:38
not a RICO charge. If there was, all of these
35:41
people would be caught up in it, and the government
35:43
would really, really, really be in trouble because all of
35:48
their bagmen would be caught up. Then who's gonna pay
35:50
the bills? We all know that all of these politicians
35:53
are beholden to these corporations and bankers. That's right, all
35:57
of your favorite politicians in the bag for bankers, including
36:02
Bernie Sanders and the rest of them. I thought I
36:08
knew him well. Stelly dealt with Epstein during his long
36:11
career at JP Morgan, where Epstein was a major private
36:15
banking client until twenty thirteen. Now, JP Morgan was one
36:20
of the key financial institutions to facilitate Jeffrey Epstein's dark money.
36:25
I have several episodes about all of these banks that
36:29
were involved, and nobody got hemmed up, nobody went to prison,
36:33
nobody kicked in any doors, nobody dragged anybody out of
36:36
their house. While they were in their underwear. They're undergarments
36:39
and sleeping. We only save that for, you know, our
36:41
political opponents in this country child molesters. Well, they're allowed
36:44
to do whatever they want. There's not even a media
36:47
team waiting for them when they land. So there's that
36:52
this whole entire thing. As far as the dark money
36:55
goes with Jeffrey Epstein, all of these people, all of
36:58
these big time banking executives, all of these people that
37:02
are in charge of the divisions where Jeffrey Epstein was
37:05
parking his money, they all knew. Come on a college
37:10
dropout who styled himself as a brilliant financier. Epstein socialized
37:15
in elite circles, including former and future US presidents. In
37:19
two thousand and eight, he was a registered he was
37:22
registered as a sex offender, but continue to maintain ties
37:25
with powerful players and business and finance. So all of
37:29
those people that he's associated with or was associating with
37:33
after two thousand and eight when he was convicted, have
37:37
literally no ground to defend. I don't want to hear
37:41
it now. If it was before two thousand and eight,
37:44
you can at least pitch the story of I didn't
37:46
know he wasn't arrested then, now am I supposed to know?
37:49
But after that, how dare anybody try and fake the
37:52
funk and act like they have no idea what Jeffrey
37:55
Epstein was? Please, man, you can miss me with all
37:59
of that bullshit. The New York Times reported in twenty
38:04
and nineteen that Epstein had referred dozens of wealthy clients
38:08
to Staley. It also reported that Staley visited Epstein in
38:12
prison when he was serving a sentence between two thousand
38:15
and eight and two thousand and nine for soliciting prostitution
38:18
from a minor. No such thing. Hate that I have
38:21
to keep saying this, but a prostitute and child, No
38:24
such thing. Children, Well they can't consent, so how can
38:28
they be a prostitute? While Bloomberg reported he visited Epstein's
38:33
private island in two thousand and fifteen. So how can
38:36
anyone say that these dudes weren't homies? How can Jes
38:39
Staley say, oh, I thought I knew him well, who
38:42
was arrested for sex act with a child solicitation? We
38:48
all know it really was though. And for these people
38:52
who think and say how smart they are on a
38:54
regular basis, you would think that they'd be a bit smarter,
38:57
wouldn't you. Staley told the reporters last February that his
39:03
relationship with Epstein had tapered off significantly after he left
39:07
JP Morgan in twenty and thirteen, and that he had
39:10
not seen the disgraced financier pedophile since taking over Barclays
39:15
in twenty fifteen. Oh well, that's fine, because your relationship
39:19
tapered off in twenty and thirteen after you left JP Morgan.
39:22
Oh I wonder why was it? Because your symbiotic, disgusting,
39:28
parasitic relationship was no longer beneficial to you at Barclays. No,
39:33
I guess that has nothing to do with it, right.
39:36
I thought I knew him well and I didn't. I'm sure,
39:39
with hindsight of what we all know now, I deeply
39:42
regret having had any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He said
39:45
at the time. Oh, please, do they all go to
39:48
the same well to get that water? Because it all
39:51
tastes the same when they're pouring it down our throats,
39:53
doesn't it. I thought I knew him well and I didn't. Bitch,
39:57
you don't have Google, You're duck duck, does you don't
40:01
have any assistance in your office. Mister mega rich billionaire guy.
40:05
Fuck out of here. Man. Epstein's links with prominent men
40:10
have come back to haunt some of them. Leon Black,
40:12
the billionaire investors, stepped down from Apollo Global Management, the
40:16
private equity firm he co founded earlier this year after
40:19
an outside review found he had paid Epstein one hundred
40:23
and fifty eight million dollars for tax and estate planning. Boy,
40:27
that's a pretty high bill. Huh tax and estate planning,
40:30
my right ass cheek. More like, here's some money for
40:33
whatever the hell sort of nonsense you're up to, or
40:37
here's some money you wash it for me. Britain's Prince
40:42
Andrew aka the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, has
40:46
quit royal duties over his associations with Epstein, and Microsoft
40:50
co founder at Bill Gates has said it was a
40:53
huge mistake to spend time with him. We'll hold on.
40:55
Let's back up. So Prince Andrew only quit his royal
40:58
duties because of his associates with Epstein, Huh, not because
41:02
of Virginia's accusations. You notice how the legacy media is
41:06
getting real clammy about stuff. Now, the real worried now
41:09
that Bretler and Singer showed up, and it just shows
41:12
you how cowardly the legacy media really is. Oh, they
41:17
like to punch down, They like to go after wherever
41:20
the political winds are blowing. But they don't go after
41:22
the real powerful anymore, do they. The FCA and PRA
41:28
said in a statement they could not comment further on
41:30
the Epstein investigation, which was launched after JP Morgan provided
41:34
the regulators with emails between Epstein and Staley from Staley's
41:39
time as head of JP Morgan's private bank. The Financial
41:42
Times reported last year Staley told staff in an internal
41:47
memo seen by Reuters that he did not want his
41:50
personal response to the investigation to be in to be
41:53
a distraction. Although I will not be with you for
41:56
the next chapter of Barclay's story, know that I will
41:59
be hearing your success from the sidelines, he said. Hopefully
42:03
it's sidelines of never working again in banking. You should
42:07
have lost that right. And this isn't cancel culture. This
42:10
is somebody who looks like they were facilitating hundreds of
42:13
millions of dollars for a child sex trafficking ring. Go
42:16
put that in your pipe and smoke on it for
42:18
a minute and tell me it's not disgusting, and tell
42:21
me it doesn't make your head spin. Staley has twenty
42:27
eight days to formally notify the FCA the FCA that
42:31
he is contesting its findings, after which an independent committee
42:34
inside the watchdog will uphold or reject its conclusions, a
42:38
source familiar with the process told Reuters. If upheld, the
42:42
probe passes to an independent upper tribunal, which again can
42:47
back or reject the findings. The source said, a process
42:50
that could take months. So we're just getting ready here, folks.
42:54
We're just settling in because this is going to be
42:57
a story that evolves, and you know, Jess Stale, he
43:00
isn't just going to take it sitting down. He's going
43:02
to appeal this and he's going to try and fight it. Vencat,
43:10
who followed Staley to Barclays from JP Morgan, told staff
43:13
on Monday the strategy put in place by his predecessor
43:16
was the right one, according to separate memos also seen
43:20
by Reuters. Vencat added that he would announce changes to
43:23
the organization of the investment Bank in the coming days,
43:26
likely to mean filling his previous role, and any other
43:30
resulting vacancies. Sources at the banks said Barclay's share price
43:34
has fallen nine percent since Staley's tenure began six years ago,
43:38
a period not without controversy. So again, the juice isn't
43:43
worth the squeeze anymore for Barclays. And now that the
43:46
heat is turned up, now that Staley has been put
43:50
directly in the crosshairs, the party is over. They're wiping
43:55
their hands clean and moving on to Vencat And they'll
43:59
also say, well, we were off nine percent since he started,
44:02
So meanwhile, we all know the scoop. His great success,
44:08
insiders an analysts said was to fight off a campaign
44:11
launched by activist investor Edward Bramson in twenty and eighteen
44:15
to have Staley removed on the grounds that Barclay's investment
44:18
bank was underperforming and should be cut back. Bramson sold
44:23
his stake earlier this year, and the bank's recent results
44:27
have seen the investment bank perform strongly. Also in twenty eighteen,
44:33
Britain's financial regulators in Barclays find Stalia combined one point
44:37
one million pounds after he tried to identify a whistleblower
44:41
who sent letters criticizing a Barclays employer, Hella employee, hell
44:46
of a guy. Huh. Jeff Staley, Jeffrey Epstein's confidant, trying
44:50
to out a whistle blower and you know, just moving
44:53
around hundreds and hundreds probably billions of dollars of dark money.
44:56
But yeah, he should run Barclays. There should be no
45:00
penalties for him. Well guess what those days are over?
45:04
