Podcasts about Staley

Jes Staley has repeatedly argued that he was unfairly railroaded by his association with Jeffrey Epstein, portraying himself as collateral damage in a scandal he claims was exaggerated and mischaracterized. In public statements and court filings, Jes Staley has insisted that his relationship with Epstein was overstated, that he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal conduct, and that the fallout cost him his career and reputation unjustly. Staley has framed the allegations as a narrative pile-on—suggesting that regulators, banks, and the media needed a single, convenient figure to absorb blame once Epstein's crimes became impossible to ignore.Those denials, however, collapse under the weight of the documented facts. Emails, travel records, and testimony show that Staley maintained a far closer and longer relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than he publicly acknowledged, including repeated personal contact well after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Evidence revealed during regulatory investigations and litigation contradicts Staley's claims of distance and ignorance, exposing a pattern of sustained engagement that undercuts his credibility. When set against the paper trail, Staley's insistence that he was merely an unlucky bystander rings hollow—less a case of being railroaded, and more an example of how implausible denials unravel once they're tested against emails, calendars, and sworn findings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The downfall of Jes Staley traces back to his long-running professional and personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which resurfaced publicly years after Epstein's crimes became widely known. While serving as CEO of Barclays, regulators began scrutinizing the extent to which Staley had been transparent about the relationship, including email contact that continued after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Staley initially characterized Epstein as a limited professional acquaintance, but subsequent disclosures—particularly emails referring to Epstein as a “trusted friend”—undermined that account and raised concerns about candor and judgment at the highest levels of the bank.In 2021, UK regulators concluded that Staley had mischaracterized the nature of his ties to Epstein, leading to his forced resignation from Barclays and a formal investigation into whether he had misled the board and regulators. The episode effectively ended Staley's career at the top tier of global banking and later followed him into litigation, including a lawsuit by JPMorgan Chase, where he had previously worked and overseen the Epstein relationship. Staley has argued that institutions used him as a scapegoat for broader failures, but the reputational damage proved decisive: his association with Epstein became inseparable from questions of credibility, oversight, and accountability—turning a once-powerful banking executive into one of the most prominent professional casualties of the Epstein scandal.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In court filings responding to JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit, Jes Staley went on the offensive, arguing that the bank was attempting to shift institutional responsibility for its long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein onto him personally. JPMorgan has alleged that Staley, a former senior executive, misled the bank about Epstein and failed to flag risks, seeking to claw back compensation and damages tied to Epstein-related settlements. Staley countered that the bank's claims were legally and factually flawed, emphasizing that Epstein remained a JPMorgan client through decisions made by multiple committees and compliance systems, not at his unilateral direction.Staley's filings portrayed JPMorgan's case as a reputational maneuver rather than a good-faith effort to establish accountability, asserting that the bank approved, monitored, and renewed Epstein's accounts long after concerns were known internally. He argued that the lawsuit was designed to make him a public scapegoat for broader institutional failures in risk management and governance, while minimizing the role of the bank itself. Although a judge allowed JPMorgan's case to proceed, Staley's aggressive defense reframed the dispute as a contest over who bears responsibility for keeping Epstein as a client—an issue that continues to shadow both the bank and the executive as the litigation moves forward.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In filings in 2023, former Jes Staley asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit against him related to the bank's handling of its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan sued Staley seeking to recover compensation and losses tied to two lawsuits the bank faces over its work with Epstein, alleging Staley misled the bank about Epstein's character and conduct and failed to address internal concerns about keeping Epstein as a client. In response, Staley argued that the bank's claims lacked both legal and factual basis, and he urged the judge to throw out the case because the bank was unfairly trying to pin blame on him for broader institutional decisions made by JPMorgan. Staley specifically accused the bank of using him as a “public relations shield” to deflect criticism and responsibility for its own alleged failures in managing its relationship with Epstein rather than focusing on substantive legal issues.A federal judge later denied Staley's motion to dismiss, saying the case would proceed and that explanations would follow in written orders. Staley's defense centered on the idea that JPMorgan could not plausibly hold him solely responsible for decisions made by the bank years earlier, especially when there were no clear allegations that he directly facilitated Epstein's criminal activities or knew of them firsthand. His contention was that JPMorgan was attempting to deflect scrutiny from its own policies and practices by placing him at the center of high-profile litigation, turning him into a scapegoat for reputational purposes. The legal dispute was part of broader litigation tied to Epstein's network and the bank's role in enabling his financial activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In September 2023, a federal judge in Manhattan granted former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley permission to depose one of the unnamed Jeffrey Epstein accusers who had sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. alleging the bank benefited from Epstein's crimes. The ruling allowed Staley's legal team to question the woman—identified in filings only as Jane Doe—in person in the city where she lives, despite her previously expressed concerns about facing what her attorneys described as potentially intrusive questioning. This order came in the context of a broader settlement between JPMorgan and Epstein's victims, and situated within the ongoing pretrial litigation over the bank's liability and Staley's role in the bank's relationship with Epstein.The judge's decision followed arguments from Staley's lawyers that questioning the accuser was necessary to challenge key factual assertions about what she knew and when, which bear on claims against Staley personally in JPMorgan's third-party complaint. Staley's request was distinct from and in addition to his own scheduled deposition in the broader litigation involving the U.S. Virgin Islands and other plaintiffs, and the judge's order set logistical parameters for how that deposition of the accuser would be conducted before fact discovery closed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Recently unsealed Department of Justice records show that **Jeffrey Epstein named Jes Staley and Larry Summers as potential executors in earlier draft versions of his estate planning documents from the 2010s, though neither appeared in the final will he signed in 2019. According to the newly released materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Staley first appeared in a 2012 draft as a “successor executor” and was later listed as a full executor in versions from 2013 and 2014, while Summers was named a successor executor in a 2014 revision. These designations would have given both men significant authority over Epstein's vast estate if the primary executors were unable or unwilling to serve — a striking inclusion given their high public profiles. However, in the final will drafted shortly before Epstein's death, both men were removed and are absent from the 2019 document that ultimately governs the estate.Oh these are the guys we're supposed to tiptoe around for? These are the delicate reputations the system keeps clearing its throat to protect? A Wall Street lifer who can't explain his Epstein emails without tripping over himself, and an academic power broker who spent years pretending his association with Epstein was some innocent clerical error? These are the men whose good names require sealed files, careful wording, and institutional panic? Give me a break. If the truth about a dead sex trafficker's will is enough to embarrass you, then maybe the embarrassment isn't the problem — maybe it's the résumé. The idea that the public must be shielded from learning that Jeffrey Epstein trusted these guys with his estate isn't discretion, it's comedy. And not even good comedy — it's the kind that only plays in boardrooms where accountability has been dead longer than Epstein himself.to conact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein named Larry Summers, Jes Staley as estate executors in draft wills | New York Post

On April 5, 2002, Layne Staley — the hauntingly gifted frontman of Alice in Chains whose voice carried the ache, rage, and beauty of an entire generation — died alone in his Seattle apartment at the age of 34, closing the final chapter on one of rock music's most tortured and transcendent lives. From the moment Alice in Chains emerged out of the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s, Staley's raw, wounded harmonies and unflinching vulnerability helped define the darker emotional core of the grunge movement.  His death, arriving years after he stepped back from the public eye yet still painfully soon for the millions who felt connected to his music, transformed an already enigmatic figure into something larger — a symbol of artistic brilliance shadowed by addiction, isolation, and a pain too great to outrun.

Sean Fazende and Andre Johnson Jr break down #Saints head coach Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, as both are showing why the Saints hired them

Rhyen Staley, father, longtime coach and educator, and Director of Research at Defending Education, joins The Steve Gruber Show to expose what he calls the radical pipeline turning America's teachers into activists. Staley breaks down how educational programs, curriculum choices, and professional development are increasingly encouraging political advocacy in schools, often at the expense of core teaching and student learning. He also discusses the broader cultural and societal impact of this trend, why parents should be vigilant, and what educators, policymakers, and communities can do to reclaim education for its intended purpose, preparing students, not promoting ideology.

In this episode, David J. Staley reads his latest University Design essay, “Underemployment,” a timely and compelling examination of the rising underemployment of college graduates in the United States.Drawing on Peter Turchin's framework of “eliteoverproduction,” national labor market data, and comparative insights from global economies, Staley explores the widening disconnect between higher education and the jobs available in the current workforce. He highlights striking statistics—from the underemployment rates by major to the top U.S. occupations that do not require a college degree—and argues that the problem lies not with college-going students, but with an economy unable to generate enough high-skill jobs.The episode challenges listeners to consider:·      Is underemployment a temporary labor marketfluctuation or a chronic structural issue?·      What happens to college enrollment and socialstability if the trend continues?·      Should workforce development simply respond tothe current labor market—or design a better one?·      And what new mission might colleges anduniversities embrace to combat underemployment?Staley ultimately proposes a bold idea: Universities should not only educate future workers but actively catalyze the creation of high-skill economic opportunity, shaping a labor market aligned with the talent they cultivate.

Reports indicate that newly unsealed court records reveal Jeffrey Epstein's estate discovered a previously unknown cache of videos and photographs that may contain highly sensitive or potentially illegal material. According to the filings, the estate alerted federal authorities and legal representatives for survivors once the cache was located, and the material is now being reviewed under restricted access. The revelation has raised immediate questions about how such evidence remained undiscovered during prior raids and investigations, and why it is only surfacing years after Epstein's death, despite the public insistence that all relevant materials were already collected by law enforcement.These reports also note that the discovery aligns with long-standing claims from survivors and insiders that Epstein systematically recorded activities inside his properties, allegedly capturing compromising encounters involving high-profile individuals. Advocates have argued for years that Epstein used surveillance as leverage and protection, and the existence of a hidden archive intensifies speculation about who may be depicted on the recovered media. The finding further fuels concerns about transparency, chain of custody, and the possibility that critical evidence was concealed, misplaced, or withheld, leaving the public once again questioning whether the full truth surrounding Epstein's network has ever genuinely been revealed.Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley and his legal team forcefully rejected allegations made by JPMorgan Chase, describing them as “slanderous” and “baseless but serious.” The dispute emerged during litigation in Manhattan, where lawsuits filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands and a survivor identified as Jane Doe 1 accused Staley of having closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network, including claims that he exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein containing disturbing content. Staley's lawyers argued that the accelerated trial schedule was unnecessary and unfair, insisting that he had been given insufficient time to prepare an adequate defense. JPMorgan, in turn, pursued legal action against Staley, seeking to recover compensation and asserting that he was central to decisions that allowed Epstein to operate as a client for years. The bank maintained that Staley was “inextricably linked” to the case, pointing to his long relationship with Epstein dating back to his tenure at JPMorgan in the early 2000s. Staley ultimately resigned as CEO of Barclays in 2021 amid scrutiny from UK regulators over his Epstein ties, and the legal confrontation highlighted the reputational fallout and lingering uncertainty surrounding the financial institutions and executives connected to Epstein's network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Staley reads his latest University Design blog article for the Center for Higher Education Leadership and Innovative Practice (CHELIP).What does it really mean to attend a particular university? During the pandemic, one of Staley's students captured something essential: "I don't feel like I attend the Ohio State University." His frustration reveals a deeper truth about higher education that most metrics and rankings completely miss.In this article, Staley explores a provocative thesis: universities are in the reputation business, operating on intangible capital rather than tangible assets. Drawing on economic theory from Haskel and Westlake's "Capitalism Without Capital," he argues that the real value of a university lies not in its buildings, publication counts, or job placement statistics, but in something far more elusive—its phenomenology, brand, and ineffable experience.KEY TOPICS EXPLORED:The pandemic's revelation about what students truly value in university attendanceWhy traditional metrics fail to capture institutional valueHow intangible capital defines the modern economy—and universitiesThe gap between reputation and current reality at many institutionsArizona State's transformation from punchline to innovation leaderVanderbilt's satellite campus strategy and the question of whether reputation can transcend placeWhat university leaders must understand about phenomenology and brandABOUT UNIVERSITY DESIGN:University Design is a blog column by David J.

Jeffrey Epstein's financial relationship with JPMorgan Chase ran deep — and lasted far longer than it ever should have. From the late 1990s until 2013, JPMorgan acted as Epstein's primary bank, managing his wealth, routing payments, and processing more than $1 billion in transactions even after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Internal compliance teams repeatedly flagged Epstein's suspicious activity — massive monthly cash withdrawals, wire transfers to foreign accounts, and payments to women listed as “assistants.” Yet those warnings were ignored or overridden by senior executives, including Jes Staley, who maintained close personal contact with Epstein and allegedly visited him multiple times at his Manhattan townhouse and private island. The bank only cut ties in 2013, years after regulators had already raised red flags and long after Epstein's name had become synonymous with criminality.Subsequent lawsuits exposed just how intertwined the relationship was. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein's victims both accused JPMorgan of enabling his trafficking operation by providing unrestricted financial access, arguing the bank “knowingly facilitated” his crimes to retain a lucrative client. The bank settled for $290 million with Epstein's victims and $75 million with the USVI, while internal communications revealed that top leadership — including Mary Erdoes and Jes Staley — had authority to drop Epstein but didn't. Emails showed Staley referring to Epstein with familiar tone and discussing visits to his properties. Even after his conviction, Epstein remained a valued client, reflecting how profit and personal connections outweighed compliance or morality. The scandal didn't just tarnish JPMorgan's reputation — it exposed how the world's most powerful financial institutions became complicit in shielding a predator for the sake of money and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In Washington, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially urged the nation's top banking regulators — the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) — to launch public and private investigations into Staley's conduct while he was at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and later Barclays PLC. Warren's letter alleges that Staley helped shield Epstein's access to the banking system by intervening when internal red flags about Epstein's transactions were raised and that despite the banks settling for large sums in sister cases, Staley has so far avoided U.S. accountabilityAt the same time, U.S. lawsuits are advancing against Barclays and Staley over alleged investor mis-representation. A judge in Los Angeles denied Staley's request to dismiss a class-action claim that the bank and Staley misled investors about the true nature of his ties to Epstein after his arrest in 2019. The U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) earlier found that Staley misled regulators by approving a letter stating his relationship with Epstein was not “close,” whereas email evidence showed they were in contact well beyond what the letter claimed.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Joel doesn't hold back when talking about how his physical condition was limiting his energy, sex drive, self-respect, and ultimately his connection at home.

Antwan V. Staley of the Daily News joins Keith to give his thoughts on the Jets 0-6 start.

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, has seen his reputation and career unravel after revelations of a deeper-than-declared relationship with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced. Regulators found that Staley had misled both Barclays' board and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) by characterizing his bond with Epstein as merely professional, when a trove of emails and correspondence suggested otherwise. The FCA banned Staley from holding senior roles in the UK financial sector and fined him—punishments he challenged in court but largely failed to overturn.Beyond regulatory action, Staley and Barclays now face class-action lawsuits in the U.S. alleging investor deception: shareholders claim the bank and Staley downplayed Epstein links to protect stock prices. A judge recently rejected efforts to dismiss the case, allowing it to proceed. Meanwhile, Staley has publicly accused the FCA of trying to “destroy” him, insisting he mostly had a professional relationship with Epstein and that he was transparent with regulatorsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that former Barclays CEO Jes Staley misled regulators about the depth of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The FCA determined that Staley “recklessly approved” misleading statements in a 2019 letter sent by Barclays, which downplayed his contact with Epstein and suggested their relationship had ended long before his tenure at the bank. In reality, correspondence revealed an ongoing relationship that continued for years after Epstein's first conviction. The FCA ruled that Staley's conduct demonstrated a lack of integrity and transparency expected of senior banking officials and issued a penalty totaling £1.8 million alongside a ban preventing him from holding any senior management or key function roles in the UK financial sector.After a lengthy appeal process, the UK Upper Tribunal upheld the FCA's decision in mid-2025, describing Staley's behavior as a “serious failure of judgment” and noting his lack of contrition throughout proceedings. While the tribunal slightly reduced the fine to £1.1 million, it agreed that Staley's conduct warranted a permanent ban from leadership positions within financial services. The ruling effectively ends Staley's career in banking and cements his downfall from one of the UK's most prominent financial figures to a cautionary tale of hubris, poor judgment, and the enduring fallout from his ties to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan Chase executive and later CEO of Barclays, has been deeply entangled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal due to his long personal and professional relationship with the disgraced financier. Court filings and released communications show Staley exchanged more than a thousand emails with Epstein between 2008 and 2012—many sent after Epstein's conviction for sex crimes. These emails included references to young women, cryptic language, and even visits to Epstein's residences, fueling suspicion about Staley's awareness of and proximity to Epstein's trafficking activities. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein's survivors have both pointed to Staley as a key JPMorgan figure who allegedly enabled Epstein to maintain banking access, despite his notoriety.The fallout for Staley has been significant. In 2021, he abruptly resigned as Barclays' CEO amid ongoing regulatory probes into the extent of his ties to Epstein. JPMorgan itself has faced billion-dollar lawsuits over its Epstein connections, with Staley frequently cited as a central figure in decisions to retain Epstein as a client. Allegations suggest he provided cover and access that allowed Epstein to continue exploiting financial networks after his conviction. Though Staley denies knowledge of Epstein's crimes, the legal and reputational damage has been severe, leaving him portrayed as one of the highest-profile executives caught in the web of Epstein's influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction. According to Staley, Dimon was aware of Epstein's accounts and engaged in conversations about them, contradicting the narrative that JPMorgan's top leadership was in the dark. Dimon, however, has firmly denied this, testifying under oath that he never met Epstein, exchanged emails with him, or played any role in decisions about his accounts.Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction.

Edward Bramson, through his investment vehicle Sherborne Investors, owned a ~5–6% stake in Barclays and repeatedly pushed the bank to address what he saw as governance failures tied to Jes Staley's past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Bramson publicly criticized Staley for not being sufficiently transparent about those links, particularly his time at JPMorgan, and demanded that the board take decisive action—either requiring Staley to be removed or revoking support for his reappointment as CEO. Bramson also raised questions about whether Staley had appropriately severed ties with Epstein, even after compliance/legal teams had urged him to do so.Over time, however, Staley managed to resist most of Bramson's pressure. By 2021 Bramson ended up selling Sherborne's entire stake in Barclays, backing down from his campaign to force structural changes to the investment banking division and leadership removal. While the regulatory investigations into Staley's Epstein connections continued and the issue caused reputational damage, Bramson was unable to gain enough shareholder or board support to force the changes he wanted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jes Staley's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a lapse in judgment—it was a full-blown embrace of depravity dressed up as “networking.” Staley wasn't dragged into Epstein's orbit; he signed up for the frequent flyer program. He flew to the island, sent creepy “Snow White” emails, and played the role of banker, buddy, and image-launderer for a convicted sex offender. This wasn't ignorance—it was arrogance. He knew exactly who Epstein was and decided that power, money, and access were worth more than decency, truth, or his own reputation.In the end, Staley will never be remembered for his banking career or “leadership.” His legacy is sealed as Epstein's enabler, lapdog, and fool—the man who polished the monster's image while survivors were left fighting for justice. He represents everything rotten about high finance: greed over morality, image over truth, connections over humanity. Staley thought he could walk hand-in-hand with Epstein and still be respected. Instead, he's a permanent cautionary tale of complicity, corruption, and cowardice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
