The FCA and the PRA are saying that Jes Staley, they're looking into his personal, individual conduct, and senior management responsibilities relating to a Barclays whistleblowing program. An attempt by Mr. Staley to identify the author of a letter that was treated by Barclays as a whistleblower. The board says that Jes Staley explained his mistake here, they believe it was an honest mistake, that Staley thought he was able to look into the identity of the letter author and try to find out who it was. The board is saying that they are going to reprimand, or have reprimanded, Jes Staley formally with a written reprimand and also that they are going to very significantly adjust his compensation. But the board is saying now that Barclays is fully cooperating with the FCA and PRA investigations, which are ongoing. And that they-that Jes Staley has the full support of the board after that written reprimand and very significant pay adjustment. So we'll continue to follow this developing story, but very interesting stuff coming across from Barclays on an investigation that is now open and ongoing into their search for the writer of a whistleblower letter.>> Yeah Matt, just looking through that statement as well. John McFarlane, who is the chairman over at Barclays saying that he's personally very disappointed and apologetic that this situation has occurred. Referring of course to-well Matt, you were just saying that, is that Jes Staley went-it's alleged that he tried to identify who the whistleblower was. In a situation, McFarlane saying, "I'm personally very disappointed and apologetic that this situation has occurred, particularly as we strive to operate to the highest possible ethical standards." The board takes at Barclay's culture and integrity of its controls extremely seriously. "We've investigated the matter fully at using external law firm, and we will be commissioning an independent review of Barclays processes and controls to determine what improvements can be made." So of course, the reprimand being made, it might work, some would say it hurts immediately, and that is in your pay packet. Matt.>> For sure, and I think it's interesting, you know, Staley at the end of the statement, he's quoted as well saying, "our whistleblowing process is one of the most important means by which we protect our culture and values at Barclays, and I certainly want to ensure that all colleagues and others who may utilize it understand the criticality," I didn't even know that was a word, criticality, "which I attached to it." So basically saying, he shouldn't have looked for the author of that letter and going forward, they won't try and identify whistleblowers who wish to remain anonymous.1.
