It won't end up being just Barclays. When I first heard about this, Barclays wasn't mentioned. I wrote my Senator about it back in March.

Nope it wont be just Barclays.

But there is a reason that Barclays was chosen to be outed first..

1. Bob Diamond.. arrogant prick.. and an American running a British institution.. and getting huge bonuses.
2. Barclays had an image of perfection.. barely hit by the economic crisis.. which is a false image. They are for example, heavily exposed to Spain.. and with this cheating, that image has been shattered.

Barclays was the last of the big banks to be hit by some sort of scandal or down turn..... can only say.. welcome to the club!
