Emails between Jes Staley and Jeffrey Epstein, spanning from 2008 to 2015, reveal a far closer and more personal relationship than Staley publicly admitted. The two men exchanged more than a thousand messages, often using affectionate or cryptic language that suggested intimacy and familiarity beyond professional dealings. In one notable exchange, Staley referenced “Snow White” and was asked by Epstein which “character” he wanted next, to which Staley replied “Beauty and the Beast” — language that regulators later flagged as highly concerning given Epstein’s crimes. Other emails show Staley leaning on Epstein for advice about his career moves, pay negotiations, and even matters concerning his daughter, portraying Epstein not just as a business contact but as a trusted confidant.


Regulators found that Staley and Barclays misled the public by downplaying the depth of this relationship. Staley had claimed his contact with Epstein ended before joining Barclays in 2015, but the emails clearly showed otherwise. The UK Financial Conduct Authority concluded that Staley’s statements lacked integrity and were reckless, resulting in fines and a ban from holding senior roles in financial services. Ultimately, the email trove undercut Staley’s defense and demonstrated that he maintained a deeply entangled and personal bond with Epstein even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, raising questions about judgment, accountability, and the true nature of their association.
