Two top American bankers commit suicide in London as one jumps 500ft to his death from JP Morgan skyscraper and another hangs himself in luxury home Tragedy: IT executive Gabriel Magee has been found dead today after jumping from the top of JP Morgan's headquarters in Canary Wharf, London, and landing on a surrounding roof http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-jumped-500ft-death-JP-Morgan-skyscraper.html Russell Investments Chief Economist Dueker Found Dead Troyer said the economist was having problems at work, without elaborating. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-30/russell-investments-chief-economist-dueker-found-dead.html
Maybe all the guilt they felt from robbing the government with the bailout actually caught up to them
Very weird coincidence. Three bankers committing suicide in a very short period. One of the articles said that it was bonus week at JP Morgan last week. The time of year might explain the two active employees but it wouldn't explain the retiree. Jan 26th - 58 year old retiree in London. Jan 28th - 39 year old in London. Jan 29th - 50 year old in Washington State. Jan 26th - Hanging in private quarters. Jan 28th - Public suicide in broad daylight. Jan 29th - Public suicide in semi-secluded area. Jan 26th - Investment Banker specializing in Risk and Securities for Deutsche Bank (retired). Banker. Jan 28th - VP in Corporate and Investment Bank IT Dept for JP Morgan. Technologist. Jan 29th - Chief Economist at Russell Investments. Analyst (essentially) Really hard to see any pattern there other than random suicides in a turbulent market economy.
Personal Financial problems, fuck ups at work costing the bank a lot of money, or any other reason you care to mention, 3 tragedies no more than that probably
My guess is that a scandal is about to break out. Or who knows, maybe they're actually being killed to keep them quiet about something.
It's got to be random, and the scandal broke out in 2008 and has not been put away since. We're slowly beginning to see the institutional penalties related to the financial melt down but the individual penalties will likely never occur. Too many of the elite covering their asses in a circular defense formation to keep the regulators in the dark. It did occur to me that all three of the suicides could be economically related if you consider bonuses and dividends in the overall equation. It's possible the retiree didn't get a large dividend that he was expecting and was in financial trouble or some such. It's more likely that the suicides were just random. This is a time of year when people get very depressed. Daylight is at a minimum and the holidays tend to bring up both the good and the bad. Throw in the potential bonus aspects and it's probably just a normal occurrence if a bit weird in the timing.
