Barclays files to dismiss dark pool complaint

Bank says it has 'a duty to our shareholders, clients and staff to defend our position'

Barclays filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the New York attorney general's complaint that alleged the bank lied to its clients about the activity of predatory high-speed traders in its dark pool.

In its response, Barclays says the attorney general's office took a number of details out of context and didn't provide a full account of documents cited in its complaint, according to a copy of the motion filed with New York's Supreme Court early Thursday.
