Jes Staley Loses Bid to Overturn Ban Over Epstein Friendship (2)

Former Barclays Plc boss Jes Staley lost a legal battle to overturn his ban from UK finance over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, all but ending his attempt to rehabilitate himself in the British financial services industry.

A London judge sided with the Financial Conduct Authority, ruling that the executive misled officials about the nature of the banker’s relationship with the late pedophile financier.

“He has shown no remorse for his conduct which has led to the authority’s investigation,” Judge Timothy Herrington said in his ruling on Thursday.
