I hope people go to jail, maybe Diamond included for corporate negligence or worse. He's a shyster and not alone in that industry. Crooks and Spivs.

No argument from me. The industry has been brought down by greedy crooks.

i've got a few barclays shares, so pleased he has resigned, he does come across as a bit of a smarmy bastard imo.
Good. He's a self-righteous prick. Maybe now the banking industry can start to return to a semblance of normality. It's a shame he won't be held accountable for the attempted LIBOR fixing in the eyes of the law. It'll be his monkeys who'll swing.

presumably being replaced by his deputy who was almost certainly no less culpable?
never mind a group of false accounting politicians with no banking expertise and no concept of criminal investigation will look into it before putting it firmly on the back shelf
surely this is what investigative journalism (sans hacking!) was made for....................!!!

In my opinion and as a Barclays customer, your opinion is quite correct

Fully deserved for his years of service and the enterprise he has shown leading one of our leading banks.

Cheerio you underhanded shit! Shameful he didn't resign on the spot, but slime like that never does...always hanging on with no sense of guilt.
Would have loved to have seen him jailed for this.
Agree with the above comments about his deputy stepping up, his monkeys taking the heaviest flack and Zebedde's comment.
People like Diamond make me sick.

He's cited his resignation is down to MPs 'hounding him out'.
So nothing to do with a massive fraud racket taking place on his watch then.

Agreed. Talk about a brass neck. What a diamond.
I assume you are being sarcastic? He and many others like him presided over the excesses of the 90's and 00's which saw banks indiscriminately lending in the pursuit of short term and personal gain and then having governments (not Barclays admittedly but only by chance) bail them out when many of us could see exactly what was going on.
In addition the culture within Barclays (particularly) is all about jingoism and now they (and seemingly others) have tried to fiddle LIBOR rates which have for decades been pretty well "fixed" to Base rates in yet another effort to boost profits and their ridiculously high bonuses - which don't show as cash and the stock options they receive have the potential to be worth many times more than reported by the time they "need" to sell.
Like Fred the Shred ... he couldn't give a toss and he'll walk off with his gazillions and sit on the Board of several big businesses (back home) and it's the unfortunate like us that have to live with the legacy of it all
Big f***ing Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
