| It was all over in 10 minutes, but it cost Barclays nearly $44 million and landed another blow to the giant bank's reputation.
Nearly two years ago, a Barclays trader took advantage of weak internal controls in a bid to rig the price of gold and profit at a customer's expense.
On Friday, Barclays (BCS) was fined £26 million, or nearly $44 million, by British regulators. Public documents lay out how the trader was able to slip through the bank's oversight.
