Ex-Barclays boss Jes Staley was trustee of Jeffrey Epstein's estate until 2015, files say
"Staley's signature appears on a copy of the Jeffrey E Epstein 2014 Trust, dated November 2014, where he is named as one of three trustees. The 23-page agreement, first reported by the Financial Times, details tens of millions of dollars in bequests and loan waivers that would take effect upon the convicted sex offender's death. It also shows that the trustees were entitled to an annual salary of $250,000 (183,000), although there is no evidence to show whether any such payment took place."
"Earlier this month the Guardian revealed that US prosecutors had reviewed allegations of rape and bodily harm against Staley, who denies any wrongdoing. He has never been charged with a crime related to the allegations. On Thursday, documents emerged that raised questions over whether Staley gave inaccurate evidence in court last year about the nature of his ties to Epstein, the late convicted sex offender."
Documents name Jes Staley as a trustee on the Jeffrey E Epstein 2014 Trust, dated November 2014, and show his signature on the agreement. The 23‑page trust details tens of millions of dollars in bequests and loan waivers on Epstein's death and records trustees' entitlement to an annual $250,000 salary, though no evidence of payments exists. U.S. prosecutors reviewed allegations of rape and bodily harm against Staley, who denies wrongdoing and has not been charged. Staley joined Barclays as chief executive in October 2015, stepped down in 2021 after City regulators investigated his ties to Epstein, and faces questions about possibly inaccurate court evidence.
