After moving to BlueMountain Capital in 2013, Staley became CEO of Barclays in December 2015. In November 2021, Staley resigned amid a regulatory probe into whether he mischaracterized his relationship with the financier, human trafficker and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to The New York Times, Staley was Epstein's "chief defender" at J.P. Morgan, helping Epstein maintain accounts at the firm amid internal concerns that Epstein was using the accounts for illicit activities. Staley also divulged confidential financial information to Epstein. Epstein named Staley one of the trustees of his estate.
