Chris Ashton, who was identified as global head of voice spot trading in a Barclays e-mail last month, and spot currency traders Jack Murray and Mark Clark were suspended, said the person, who asked not to be identified because they aren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter. None of the three has been accused of any wrongdoing, said the person. ...
Barclays, one of the four biggest currency traders in the world, is reviewing trading over several years and is cooperating with regulators’ requests for information, according to a statement.
