Bank of England 'put the heat on senior Barclays bankers to rig Libor'

THE Bank of England and government officials allegedly put “serious pressure” on Barclays to rig libor in the wake of the financial crisis to stem fears about its financial health, according to a secret recording.

A senior Barclays executive, Mark Dearlove, told Barclays rate-setter Peter Johnson to lowball his submission after claiming the Bank of England was pushing for lower libor, according to a 2008 recording unearthed by BBC Panorama.

So how come I’m serving 11 years?

Tom Hayes, the former UBS trader serving 11 years for libor rigging, today backed calls for an urgent inquiry into allegations the Bank of England pressured bankers to lower the rate.

He told the Standard: “It is my view that there should be an urgent public inquiry into the real Libor scandal: where central banks, politicians and the British Bankers’ Association colluded to get artificially low Libor rates.

“Traders like me should not be in prison. We were only requesting Libor submissions that reflected market conditions,” he said.

New evidence from BBC One’s Panorama calls into question claims made by former BoE deputy governor Paul Tucker and ex-Barclays chief Bob Diamond to the Treasury Select Committee in 2012 that they were unaware of “lowballing”.

Chris Philp MP, a member of committee, said there should be an “urgent public inquiry” into the claims. “It looks to me like they (Tucker and Diamond) misled the committee and parliament in 2012,” he said.

Diamond has denied misleading parliament. Tucker has not responded to the allegations.

Johnson, 62, was jailed for four years in 2016 after pleading guilty to manipulating the benchmark.

According to the call, Dearlove, the nephew of former MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove, told Johnson: “I am as reluctant as you are... these guys have just turned around and said just do it.”

The Bank of England today said: “Libor and other global benchmarks were not regulated in the UK or elsewhere during the period in question.”

Libor, the London Interbank Offered Rate, tracked the rate banks would lend to each other and became a closely watched barometer of financial health in the months after the financial crisis. Lower rates suggested that banks were in ruder health.

The Serious Fraud Office launched an investigation last year into whether senior bankers at Barclays allegedly ordered libor to be lowballed.

The Bank said it was assisting the SFO’s criminal investigation.

Dearlove did not reply to a request for comment.

More bad behavior by a Steering Committee member.

Mr. Kleinfeld stepped down as Chair and CEO (of Arconic) by mutual agreement after the Board learned that, without consultation with or authorization by the Board, he had sent a letter directly to a senior officer of Elliott Management that the Board determined showed poor judgment.

When the government gains tools that are so powerful and can be used not just against undocumented immigrants but against regular Americans potentially – that's something that raises a lot of eyebrows."

Palantir declined to comment.

"... we can't always say things in public that we can say in private," Karp added. "It's not just the nature of our intel clients, it's the nature of all our clients."

Karp said he has not had any conversations with the Trump administration outside of a roundtable meeting he attended last month at Trump Tower in New York with the President-elect and other technology leaders including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Some questioned why Karp was there in first place, given Palantir's much smaller stature compared to the other companies at the table.

"There's probably a longer version I don't know about, but they had a selection process and I was asked and I said yes," Karp said. "I know nothing other than what I've read, which is that [Thiel] organized the meeting."
