Was in for the papers this morning, and also read:
The Independent
Top banker at Barclays quits amid funds crisis
The credit crunch has claimed its first high-profile resignation in the UK with the departure of Barclays' head of European collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), the explosive debt products that have helped to cause the meltdown. Edward Cahill, who ran the European CDO business at Barclays Capital, Barclays' investment banking business, resigned on Monday. On Wednesday, two investment funds set up by his business had their credit ratings slashed by Standard and Poor's, the rating agency, because of losses from investments in US mortgage-backed securities.

Barclays look to be up s**t creek without a paddle.
