Jes Staley, former Barclays CEO, is facing serious consequences for dishonesty regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
The UK's financial regulator argues that Staley lied to protect his career and avoid legal issues from Epstein's victims.
Staley's attempts to appeal a lifetime ban hinge on his credibility, which is now under severe scrutiny.
Emails and other evidence contradict Staley's statements, painting a picture of a closer relationship than he previously disclosed.
