My understanding was that there were unconfirmed reports about a month ago but that it has now been confirmed.

he has no problems, he helps rig the LIBOR rate and gets a 40m golden handshake and no one under him goes to jail for it...he said he never knew what they were up too yet it was his job to know?..one rule for us...

His huge bonuses where dependent on the profit of his operating arm of the business, so im sure he would have pulled rank and put  an immediate stop to it if he had known what was going onLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh

I wonder, if his horses keeps winning, if he has any objection to his horses being restricted on the races they can enter? Then if they still keep winning, they cannot run in any races they are entered for? Only I tried to get £30 on Faugheen @ 1/3 for the Champion Hurdle on Betdim tonight and they wouldnt except the bet? Not only that, but if I had got on they said my return would be £39.90? Come on Ricci, it's good to win, so why can't I betting through Betdim? You can't have it both ways Ricci, take the sunglasses off, look us in the eye and tell us what side of the fence you're on?

with a big chance of voome voome mag running in the mares,rich might have a problem with faugheen if his wife decides to take him on in the CH .she owns a mare that would be getting a half a stone in weight allowance.
Has this ever happened before a wife running her horse against her husbands horse in the greatest hurdle race in the world?
and as they jump the final hurdle its faugheen in the lead but here comes ruby on the bridle with a double handful on annie power AND THE MARE IS BEGINNING TO GO SAILING BY AS THEY COME TOTHE LINELaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh

He is good for the game, ploughs lots of money in and is completely transparent. Horses run on their merits and he comes across as passionate and likable.

"The quickest slinger in the West"
if you’re willing to overlook the "rate-rigging scandal" Rich Ricci and all those other Barclays executives seem to have known about last year, in the wake of the bank’s £290million fine for rigging crucial Libor interest rates.
read on;

Ricci pocketed a monstrous £44 million in 2010, only £700,000 of which came from his actual salary. The Barclays executive raked in £3.35 Million from a long-term incentive award,
£9 million in bonuses and £30 million in shares.
And this came only weeks after the bank promised the British government it would show restraint.

April 2013
After being handed 5.7 million shares last month, Ricci sold them immediately,
Raking in over £17 Million, before Barclays’ stock fell later that week.

She's probably very knowledgeable if you were to sit and have a conversation with her

Unfortunately as soon as they give her a mic and point a camera at her she is dreadful
