Barclays Bank is one of the world’s oldest banks. In June 2012, it was fined 290 million pounds (US$450 million) for attempting to manipulate the daily settings of London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor). The bank's chief executive, Bob Diamond, decided to give up his bonus as a result of the fine, and subsequently resigned after a wave of criticism against the bank.

Mr. Shangkong | Chinese banks in Hong Kong go quiet on last year's promised bonus

Is it too late to get your bonus in May? I'm talking about last year's bonus, not this year's. It is something that some Hong Kong-based staff at several mainland investment banks have been waiting anxiously for.

Was Barclays the problem, or its business model?

When the world applauds your obituary, as it has the death of Barclays' global ambitions, it seems you have been doing something wrong.
