This document is a news report detailing an incident on May 10, 2017, where Barclays CEO Jes Staley was duped by an email prankster impersonating Barclays' chairman, John McFarlane. Staley sent effusive praise in response, believing he was communicating with his chairman, shortly after Staley had been criticized for trying to unmask a whistleblower. The exchange, which was verified by the Financial Times, ended with the prankster sending a poem that spelled out the word 'Whistleblower'.
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.
The prankster sent a poem that was an acrostic for the word 'Whistleblower'. It began "Worry not of tomorrow's end" and ended "Revel in their bloodied eyes".
Staley's final reply was: "Thanks for sharing the foxhole."
The prankster contacted the FT to reveal the prank, stating it was part of his "battle with Barclays" and he wanted to see how Jes Staley was relaxing after the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
