Quote:Barclays freezes ex-boss's bonus amid Epstein links

'Barclays has suspended millions of pounds in bonus share awards to former boss Jes Staley amid an investigation by
regulators into his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Mr Staley left the bank last November after watchdogs began a probe
into his links to the dead sex trafficker.
Mr Staley is contesting the City regulators' findings.


Jes Staley wondering if the cameras will be working when they come for him.

But Barclays has announced that in the meantime it is freezing long-term bonus and share payments for Mr Staley.
The bank said in a statement: "In line with its normal procedures, the committee exercised its discretion to suspend the vesting
of all of Mr Staley's unvested awards, pending further developments in respect of the regulatory and legal proceedings related
to the ongoing Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulatory Authority investigation regarding Mr Staley."

Regulators are investigating whether Mr Staley's relationship with Epstein was closer than he described to the board.

According to Barclays latest annual report, Mr Staley holds 9 million unvested shares - stock that has been promised but not yet
paid out - which are subject to performance targets, and an additional 2.1 million shares not subject to targets. Based on Barclays'
latest share price, Mr Staley's package is worth £21.1m.

He also holds an additional 6.7 million shares that he owns outright. These are worth £12.7m.
Barclays revealed the move as it published its full-year results which showed a sharp rise in pre-tax profits to £8.4bn for 2021
compared to £3.1bn the previous year.

Profits were lifted by the release of £700m that Barclays had set aside to cover anticipated losses on Covid loans.
That compares to £4.8bn the bank set aside in 2020 for Covid loan losses...'

Quote:HORROR ISLAND Epstein victim reveals horrors inside paedo’s ‘sex abuse factory’
and twisted painting of girl ‘being raped’ by a WALRUS



'One of the victims of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his sick sidekick Ghislaine Maxwell has revealed 
he “sex abuse factory” that was his Caribbean home. In new BBC show House of Maxwell Juliette Bryant
speaks for the first time about how she was tricked onto his island retreat and sexually assaulted by the
tycoon.

In the three-part documentary, which starts on Monday, she explains how she felt trapped by the late Epstein
and Ghislaine on Little St James Island, near Puerto Rico. They were both close friends of Prince Andrew,
who this month settled out of court with Virginia Giuffre, after she accused the royal of sexually assaulting her,
when she was just 17, after being introduced through Ghislaine and Epstein.

South African Juliette is seen in the doc saying: “I was being ordered to his bedroom at least three times a day.
By that point there were even more girls. In that time I saw at least 60 girls coming and going, at least.

“I was 20 when I was taken there, so I was lucky, I wasn’t as young as some of the other girls. It was just like a
factory, he was running a machine and Ghislaine Maxwell was the one operating it. “People ask why I went back.
No one disobeyed Epstein. Before I was sent home he took me to his office and he told me a woman had accused
him of rape and he planted drugs in her apartment and had her sent to prison.


Is that a lizard on the top of the frame?!

“Then he said he had my family’s name on a list, so I just did as I was told because I was petrified of him, of who he was.
“I knew that crossing him would be a very, very bad idea.” Ghislaine is now facing up to 40 years behind bars for sex
trafficking for Epstein, whom she initially started dating in the Nineties...'
