The Standard
Chartered's "You Fucking Americans' Banker Has Been Identified
The banker who allegedly uttered the most shocking, expletive
filled statement in the complaint against British bank Standard
Chartered has been identified as Richard
Meddings, Michelle Celarier of the NY Post reports.
Earlier this week, New York regulators accused the bank of
funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to U.S. enemy, Iran.
In the complaint, one executive allegedly said: “You f—ing Americans. Who are you to tell
us, the rest of the world, that we’re not going to deal with
Iranians?”
The executive was responding to concerns that doing business with
Iran would hurt the bank's reputation
In the complaint, the speaker was identified only as the bank's
finance director. The man who held that position at the time
(2006) was Richard Meddings, a 54 year-old Oxford grad.
According to his executive profile at Bloomberg, Meddings has
worked all over the financial services industry. Before working as
a finance director at Standard Chartered he was head of Finance,
Corporate Treasury and Corporate Development, Head of Growth and
Governance across Africa, Middle East, Pakistan, United Kingdom,
Europe and the Americas and Head of Risk, Group Special Asset
Management, Legal and Compliance at the bank.
That's quite a career, and it's not the end. He also worked at
Barclays where he was COO of Private Clients.
Additionally, he sits on the Governing Council of the
International Chamber of Commerce, United Kingdom and is a member
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales.
