The ray ban wayfarer committee, in part, addressed the newly released documents that show British regulators’ earlier concerns about Mr. Diamond. In a letter to Mr. Agius in late 2010, Hector Sants, the chief executive of Britain’s Financial Services Authority, pushed for Mr. Diamond, who had been recently tapped as chief executive, to have an “increased level of engagement” with authorities. He added that regulators expected the incoming Barclays chief, who took over in early 2011, to have a “close, open and transparent relationship” with them. Mr. Sants also cautioned about the incoming chief’s chumminess with top Barclays deputies. Mr. Diamond helped build Barclays’ investment bank into a global leader, and regulators wanted to ensure that he would exercise sufficient “clarity in oversight” over two close colleagues, Mr. del Missier and Rich Ricci, who replaced Mr. Diamond as the oakley sunglasses mens discount 2012 co-heads of the unit. Questions about the bank’s culture persisted. In April, Adair Turner, chairman of the Financial Services Authority, wrote a letter to Mr. Agius, addressing what the regulator perceived as overly aggressive practices at the bank. He pointed to Barclays’ efforts to avoid paying around $774 million in corporate taxes and some of the bank’s accounting methods. “Barclays often seems to be seeking to gain advantage through the use of complex structures, or through regulatory approaches which are at the aggressive end of oakley sunglasses fashion outlet interpretation of the relevant rules and regulations,” Mr. Turner wrote.
