Join Barclays, go to prison!
Presumably they're only visiting their ex-colleagues! Bet the money laundering checks will be interesting! or perhaps they're just checking out the place, to see what its like, just in case the FSA ever catches up with them

Prison record
It is very difficult to open a bank account with any bank in the High Street due to MLR. Surely all inmates of prisons will disqualify themselves because they, by definition, have criminal records!? Certainly those with convictions for fraud and money laundering cannot open a bank account with the knowledge of a bank employee or they are obliged to report to the compliance officer or whistle blow? A standard motor insurance questionnaire now asks if you have a criminal record - surely a bank personal questionnaire asks the same? All banks are jokes of course, thats why we are now increasing vat to 20%!

In Good Company !
Some of their and other banks big earners should be inmates along with many of their unscrupulous investment and insurance sales people. Not all of the theiving class are in prison. The really big time ones are still alive and well and running banks, other large companies or in politics. When they do get found out they engage clever lawyers and get off almost scot free.
