Barclays CEO Jes Staley steps down after U.K. regulators investigate ties to Jeffrey Epstein

In 2008, Epstein negotiated a plea deal with Florida prosecutors in a molestation case that allowed him to plead guilty to two charges of solicitation of sex, one with a minor. He spent just over a year in jail, with work-release privileges. Staley visited Epstein at his Palm Beach office, where he was allowed to serve some of his time, the New York Times reported.
