According to the journal, the document in question involved J.P. Morgan's efforts to purchase the Royal Bank of Scotland's stake in Sempra Energy and the mining deal in the Congo.
Bobby CapucciHOST

Jon RichardsonHOST
wasn't out looking for an opportunity okay you've made that quite sinister um jilly who uh ran after an old man who'd left his 10 pounds in the cash machine found him in greg's i like that i like that that's a good one that's pure altruism yeah that is yeah um interesting that she points out that it's an old man because i think we'd all look And I think we all make judgments there, don't we? Well, so if it had been a banker, then we would have hated her.

Bruce Van SaunGUEST
So, you know, the ship's finally coming in.
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
I think the other story that you'll find interesting is when I was over in the UK and I went over with Stephen Hester to help sort out RBS, which was kind of one of the big disasters during the great financial recession.
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
Citibank and RBS kind of had two of the biggest falls.
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
And so we had limited capital.
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
The UK government had put capital into the company, but we were under a mandate under EU law to shrink the company and basically sell off as much as we could.
Don YaegerHOST
Outside of your family, who became that mentor to you? Well, you
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
know, I think your family and your teachers and coaches really helped you early in terms of keeping you on the right road and teaching you life's lessons.
Bruce Van SaunGUEST
But I found that I had like a series of really good bosses, uh, from the early part of my career and of all the way through, uh, the last job I had in RBS with Hester as a mentor.
Fiona BaxterGUEST

Aswath DamodaranHOST
So what I get in my last column, am I cheap? So if I were an automated equity research analyst, The stocks which have big negative numbers in front of them will be my undervalued stocks.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
I'll be putting buy recommendations on Royal Bank of Scotland on buy ratio, whatever.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
And I'll be putting sell on all the stocks which are big where the price to book is much higher than the actual.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
In this case, that'll be Oster Bank and HSBC and Lloyds would all get sell recommendations.

It would say sort code and account number.
Wallace CurrieHOST

Emily BoltonGUEST
In terms of built heritage, there's a great organization called CARE.
Emily BoltonGUEST
that took over the old Royal Bank of Scotland bank building and has kind of regenerated it in just this beautiful way inside with kind of Sanderson wallpaper.
Emily BoltonGUEST
And it looks like a kind of London club or hotel, but it's a drop-in centre for community members.
Emily BoltonGUEST
And so everybody who comes in is treated with respect and in a place of beauty.
