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'.
