this is going to this is gonna sound like the exact same story we did on
Monday
which sounded like the exact same story we did the week before but
yet another big banker has committed apparently committed suicide this one is
also from JP Morgan remember that
former Federal Reserve economist Mike do care was found dead in apparent suicide
near Tacoma Washington then 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank
William breaks met
was found in his home after an apparent suicide
then the managing director of tight on motors Carl slim
was found dead on the fourth floor at the hotel in Bangkok
have an apparent suicide then Gabriel McGee
39 years old vice president at JP Morgan Chase London
was up found after apparently jumping to his own death
in the Canary Wharf area %uh UK
and now a second JP Morgan employees and i'm sorry
then on Monday we had news a second JP Morgan employee found dead
after he fell from the bank's London headquarters that's Ryan crane
and then now a 33-year-old man this is the new one a 33-year-old man
plunged to his death yesterday from the roof
over 30-story building in Hong Kong's financial district
which houses the Asia headquarters for JP
Morgan the police say at around 2 p.m.
unmanned fell from the roof top of the building
police arrived and saw him unconscious
he was sent to the hospital where he was certified
dead day up JP Morgan has not yet confirmed that he was an employee but
all other reports indicate that he was a JP Morgan employ
I'm at a loss for words the reaction to
art to our story on Monday asking well one possibility is
they are committing suicide because if something they know about that's going
to happen some kinda banking collapse
a big takedown that was one possibility another possibility is that these are
not really suicides that these guys are being killed
because if something they know or could expose another audience member suggested
you know
they could be suicides but they are suicides
because they feel really guilty about the role that the big banking industry
and Wall Street
has had in destroying people's lives I just don't think
that it would all happen at once if that were the case
yeah now I think something else is going on here
its II every time we report on another suicide
I A just gets more fascinating to me
right is it is it yet another isolated suicide with no signs of foul play how
many times can report that story before we we just want to have some kind of a
sense of what's happening
right honestly at this point if if I had any stock
I'd be thinking it's probably time to celebrate this reminds me over New I
don't know if anybody has been watching the new
Sherlock series on BBC where Benedict Cumberbatch place Charlap
Sherlock Holmes there's an episode there where there is a string of suicides
which
Sherlock Holmes investigate than they are aren't actually suicides
this story is following much of that a fictional story
reminded me a bit it's not unheard unheard of that during recessions
suicide rates go up among bankers among accountants et cetera
during the oil crisis and the recession in the nineteen eighties bankers were
killing themselves on a weekly basis but
that seem to be a slightly different situation than this one unless we're
just on the cusp
up something that they know about and we don't yet
right bats that's what I find to be the most fascinating
being I mean what could possibly be going on behind the scenes
it would cause BS and if it was that big
