Bank rows - part 2 - Lloyds settles with John Argent?

The Lloyds versus John Argent tribunal that was due to start this morning has been scrapped, according to my court mole.

In case you don't recall, last Friday I highlighted how a slew of Libor cases - criminal, civil and employment related - were scheduled to start over the coming weeks and cause the banks a headache.

And the John Argent tribunal was expected to be particularly galling for Lloyds. That's because Argent was one of the traders sacked by Lloyds after it agreed its multi-million pound settlement with regulators for fiddling Libor.

So, the case had the potential to be a biggie. In fact, there was so much interest in the case that I understand at least one party currently suing Lloyds for Libor manipulation had paid to have a transcriber in the back of the room.

Alas, now we won't get a chance to read that account of the proceedings as it would appear to have been settled.

Indeed, when little old Betaville got in touch with Lloyds, a spokesperson said:

  “We can make no other comment than to confirm that the proceedings have been withdrawn.”

Details of the settlement are confidential but I would very much like to know if, and how much, Lloyds paid Argent to make this tribunal go away?

Do get in touch via the usual the channels if you think you have the skinny...

  2. A broken heart can be one of the most painful things to heal from and can take a very long time to heal. During these times it can feel like the whole world could light up in flames and it still couldn't compare to the pain inside.

    Of course, admitting a broken heart can be a difficult thing to do and most of us try to continue on with life masking the pain in our heart. With this pain comes many emotions. I was also trying to masked my pain, until i found help, here is my story about how i save my marriage when my heart was broken.

    My wife and I separated 4 months ago and our children, Emily and Robert, live with her but see me every weekend. I was totally devastated and confused until a old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack who help people with their relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contacted him, he helped me cast a spell and within 48hours my wife came back to me and started apologizing, now she has stopped going out with men and she is with me for good and for real. you can Contact on { nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com }. If you are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back your husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend. contact Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack, E-mail:{ Nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com } Thank you so much Sir Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack, i will always be testifying about your good work.
