Barclays Settles Charges for Failing to Reasonably Supervise Two Former Traders
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Barclays has settled charges with the SEC regarding its failure to reasonably supervise two former traders by not implementing supervisory procedures to prevent and detect the former traders’ misrepresentations. According to the SEC, the two former traders made false and misleading statements to Barclays’ residential mortgaged-backed securities customers. For example, the two former trades misled their customers about the price, profit, and ownership of the securities. A result of their misrepresentations, the two former traders made Barclays a profit of more than $15.5 million.
Without admitting or denying the findings of fact, Barclays agreed to directly pay customers approximately $15,561,711, representing all of the profits earned on the transactions that are the subject of the order.
