HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030355.jpg

This document is an email chain from May 10, 2017, showing Barclays CEO Jes Staley being deceived by an email prankster impersonating Barclays Chairman John McFarlane. The prankster sends bizarre supportive messages and a poem, referencing the professional pressures ('fires/thorns') Staley was under, to which Staley replies, seemingly believing the messages are genuine. The footer 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030355' indicates this was likely an exhibit in a congressional investigation related to Staley's conduct, which included his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

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.
