07:00am, Saturday, 29'th Jan 2022 The Guardian
The race to fund the lockdown economy ensured speed trumped due diligence, leaving the taxpayer wide open to fraud In the final days of April 2020, bankers and Treasury officials were huddled over laptops in makeshift home offices across the country, negotiating the terms of what is fast becoming the most controversial of the governments pandemic rescue schemes. The country was in its sixth week of national lockdown after the Covid outbreak, and the Treasurys head of banking and credit, David Raw, was leading video calls with more than 20 senior staff from across government and the City including the big banks HSBC, NatWest, Barclays and Lloyds, Santander, Virgin Money and AIB to try to push through the chancellor Rishi Sunaks ambitious plan for a more accessible, 100% government-backed small business loan scheme.

02:55pm, Sunday, 23'rd Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
American Megabanks Including Citi & JPM Order Workers Back To The Office In London & NYC In the latest sign that the "elites" have finally had enough of pretending to care about COVID safety precautions , two American megabanks announced on Friday new plans to recall workers to the office. First, Citigroup (which unveiled a draconian vax mandate earlier this month with a deadline of compliance that has already passed) emailed a notice to staffers in the Greater NYC area asking them to start preparing to return to the office. It even set a preliminary date of Monday, Feb. 7 as the new ''first day back'' for offices in NY, NJ & CT. Citi has said it plans to continue to closely monitor local health data wherever it has offices across the US. Meanwhile, across the pond, the bank has asked its London staff to report to their office desks at least three days a week once the British government has finally decreed that Britons no longer need to work from home, according to Bloomberg. For the record, the NYC-based bank asked its workers to revert to working from home at the start of the year as the US CDC''s case numbers soared.

12:40am, Saturday, 08'th Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Here Are The Best And Worst Performing Hedge Funds Of 2021 It was another painful year for most hedge funds, with many suffering the pain of their short books shooting up during periods of heightened retail trading such as the start of 2021, followed by a just as painful rotation in and out of the growth to value (and vice versa) rotation. As a result hedge funds as an industry were one of the worst performing asset classes of 2021, trailed only by emerging markets, Treasurys, gold and the euro. And incidentally, here are the best and worst performing S&P stocks of 2021. But while most hedge funds underperformed their benchmark for yet another year, some stood out. Here, courtesy of the HSBC Hedge Weekly is a list of the best and worst performing hedge funds of 2021 (and yes, any year when the Tulip Trend Fund is the top 10 you just know markets were micromanaged by central banks). Not surprisingly, the best performing hedge fund tracked by HSBC, Senvest, is also the one that quietly orchestrated the Gamestop short squeeze mania (the fund was extremely long the stock around the time it became a Reddit sensation then quietly sold out its entire stake in January just as the stock was surging lifted by retail daytraders).
