Barclays ordered to pay 748,000,000,000,000 pounds (1.4 quadrillion dollars) compensation to former owner of a Spanish bank it acquired 25 years ago.

I don't think so.

Someone must have fallen asleep with their head on their keyboard. Either that or he lawyers involved are idiots.

Careful, they might sue you. And it could be for a LOT of money.

Even worse for the Spanish, it's not Barclays who have to pay but the Spanish Deposit Guarantee Fund since it was taken over by Barclays later. However this is apparently 1400 times Spain's GDP which could cause a few financial problems over there if upheld...
