  Rich Ricci profile: most of those blamed for the credit crisis have gone to ground, but not this Barclays investment banker
  
  Share and share alike - or not. It was business as usual for one of Barclays' bosses
  
  He's become the poster child for the excesses of the investment banking industry.
  
  Rich Ricci (the name is just too perfect) courted national infamy when, on the day of another austerity Budget,
  
  Barclays revealed that it had handed its investment banking chief £17.6m in shares, all of which were sold.
  
  It wasn't the first time Ricci had found himself at the centre of a storm. The revelation came
  
  barely a week after one of the flamboyantly dressed banker's horses lined up at the Cheltenham Festival under the name
  
  "fatcatinthehat".
  
  That undiplomatic moniker was actually suggested by his wife Susannah - in whose colours
  
  the beast ran to a disappointing 18th place in the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle - after seeing
  
  a headline about her husband in the media.
