Document Summary

This document is a news article, marked as a House Oversight exhibit, detailing an email prank on then-Barclays CEO Jes Staley on May 10, 2017. An imposter posing as Chairman John McFarlane drew effusive praise from Staley, who was under fire for trying to unmask a whistleblower. The prankster revealed the deception with an acrostic poem spelling 'Whistleblower', highlighting Staley's poor judgment, a relevant theme given investigations into his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
