Almost a month has passed since we discussed Richard Longmore’s departure from Barclays Capital (FX people moves: Barclays Capital reshuffles as Longmore departs but where to?). He would be a high-profile capture for any bank, but both he and his new employers are being remarkably tight-lipped.
The original guess was that Longmore was off to Nomura but that has now been totally scotched. The latest whisper to come to our ears is... Lloyds. Only a whisper though – we tried to contact Lloyds, but received no reply by publication time.
