Document Summary
This document, labeled as an exhibit for a House Oversight committee, describes a prank email sent to Barclays CEO Jes Staley. The email, sent on a Wednesday evening from a fake Gmail account, impersonated Barclays' chairman John McFarlane and had the subject line "The fool doth think he is wise." The message mocked a shareholder who had called for Staley's resignation earlier that day and falsely reassured Staley his position was secure.
