Another Banker Found Dead Under Strange Circumstances "Slits His Own Throat"

Wikileaks should start a bankers insurance section, then perhaps these "suicides" wouldn't go to waste.

Now that would be fun...

Someone suggested a pool on ATS once.

Cruel? Maybe.

But...

What if these bankers were targeted by organized vigilantes, for their non-prosecuted, wrongdoings? If that is the case, there is NO WAY the media would say that a vigilante group is suspected of targeting bankers responsible for the meltdown. They certainly can't risk igniting a copy-cat spree of regular citizen extracting revenge on financial sectors leaders, whom never spent a day in criminal court answering for their crimes.

They either seem to be targeting the low guys now for a warning or that's all they can get to. I'm not too sure it's a vigilante group. I'm more convinced it's TPTB getting rid of those who strayed from the agenda in any way. If you play with billions a slap on the wrist doesn't do anything, the only time these guys take a warning seriously is if their executive golfing buddies start ending up dead in embarrassing poses lol.

Correct.

There will most likely be a lot of support for this type of justice.

It's getting strange out there.

Anonymoose has risen again

I said before how I used to be the one who kicked down doors.

Someone else has taken up the mantle as will I again in a few months time.

The ones on top are only getting a taste of what's to come

Aside from the one person on your list, who died in circumstances which remain filed under "unknown", and one case of heart attack, everyone else there appears to have either jumped or fallen from something tall, or variously self terminated in other fashions, ranging from the relatively mundane shotgun to the face method, to the "I want to KNOW I am dying" method, involving a nail gun, or literally cutting their own throats!

The question is not if someone is doing this to these people, but whom, and why. It would be vaguely nicer to think of these as acts of retribution for what amounts to treasonous behaviour toward the people of the free world, but really? Is it not more likely that these people are being silenced, and that the silence is a threat to us all in and of itself?

why is Karl Slym in the list??

he was the managing director of Tata Motors, not a banker.

What guy in texas?

I do not suppose it is common for one to slit their own throat as a suicide method, but it is definitely not unheard of, or impractical. I think that the whole nail-gun scenario with one of the names on the list is much more improbable. First of all I doubt you could kill yourself with a nail-gun, and if you could it would likely be extremely painful and would be a very protracted death. Those who wish to kill themselves are going to just get it over with quickly, not draw it out, because they have made that decision at that point in time.

What I think we need to consider is the fact that the majority of these people are nobodies in that their positions were not amongst the elite of the banking world. The financial sector in general is high-stress, and I imagine that suicides are not that uncommon. It was mentioned that there have been 16 deaths this year, and that number is not exceedingly large by any stretch of the imagination. Now if all of these people were high-up on the list of major players in the financial sector, that would be one thing...but they are dispersed across different branches of the financial spectrum, they hold a variety of positions, and do not seem to be in any way connected to any nefarious plot. Some of these cases might involve foul play, but I think it is a huge stretch to connect all or even the majority of these murders, considering the sheer distance between these people, what they do, where they worked, and their importance.

Add being in the banking industry to the list of things that are more dangerous/likely than being killed by a terrorist.

Interesting, his position he probably knew of a lot of very shoddy and unethical practices, perhaps even more. A loose end, as it were, more than likely.

Full steam ahead for the white shoe boys.

Power is being consolidated in many places including the banking sector. Remember all the high profile military personnel moves over the last few years. Something is going on and we get peeks behind the curtain ever so often. A framework has been built around our current system with illegal laws like the Patriot act and executive orders. If TPTB needed/wanted to gain outright control this framework would allow it to happen overnight.




What will the future hold? Can we trust the people in power to be just rulers ?........These are all questions every citizen should be asking themselves.

whats the bet the next bloke beheads himself?

Well, OP, there's a sort of competition that goes on here. You want to have the most bizarre death that can't be proven actually to be a murder. People get tired of the same old shot-himself-in-the-head, or slashed-his-wrists-in-the-woods, or his-airplane-had-an-unfortunate-mechanical-failure, or my personal favorite the-pilot-somehow-became-disoriented-at-night-and-flew-into-the-ground.

That's old school. In the old days of the 80's and before, it was OK to have your guy hang himself and leave no note. Then it got into a competition. Before you knew it, it was hanging yourself with some porn so it looked like an asphyxiation gone bad. Then the guy had to shoot himself in the back of the head. Then in the back of the head more than once (you'd think that was too far over the top, but no). Then in the chest with a revolver multiple times.

These days, you get people zipping themselves into gym bags in the bathtub (thought that was quite creative) or nail gunning themselves to death (they stole that one off a movie, pretty blatant, poor form!), now it's cutting your throat.

Mark my words, you'll have someone decapitate themselves before the year's out. And they'll find some way to sell it to the coroner.

What happened to simple things, like veiling glare lasers used on the pilot on approach? Straight forward, expedient hits are becoming works of art. Sign of the times, if you ask me.

Before i subscribe to any conspiracy.

One thing to take note that unless your a CEO or director of a bank being a banker or trader is bloody stressfull.


You have targets you have to meet and high work load, and your jobs is alway vunrable as if you get sacked there are half a million buiness or economic grad students willing to put down those mcdonald fries and take your place.

As such a large portion of the banking and tradeing community are on drugs, specificaly coc aine in london.
I know one with a £30k a month habbit. The city is awash in the stuff, this just makes them more mentaly unstable.

Oh yeah right. Guess those pensions they were accruing just weren't enough in the end. Ha. Sayonara suckas. Tragic, but "necessary" - refer to "Too Big To Jail" thread.... They are viewed much like you and I - Little fish in a very deep pond. Boy lemme tell ya, if I ever go out, I wanna saw through my own neck flesh... yep that's the one....

It is weird, but it can still be just a suicide. I remember the time when people made jokes, that if someone is going to be a dentist, that they will off themselves. And I cannot tell what conspiracy dentists are involved in

It is weird, Yes. But not impossible.

Highest Suicide Rate by Profession

That would be the DEAD POOL? I think it's a good idea, set odds, list a bunch of bankers that are in positions of relative risk and then just grab a calender and fill it up. Of course the bankers would think it's morbid or cruel, but seriously who TF cares what they think. We should do it for politicians as well ;-)

Cheers - Dave

Indeed! Could it perhaps be related to Corporate-owned life insurance, AKA "dead peasants insurance"?

Nobody can be that incompetent to declare a slit throat suicide. They are either so incompetent they should be fired immediately and a new coroner named that isn't a medical school dropout. OR they should be investigated and criminally prosecuted for interfering in a murder investigation. How much did they pay them off?

Suicide?

Sure. Because slitting your own throat is so popular for suicidal people these days.

May not be a common thing, but it certainly does happen. A guy I know snapped...held his girlfriend hostage and ended up slitting his own throat. He chose to do so even though he had a gun on him, and was firing it.

Check out his mugshot

With that being said, "cut his own throat and fell on top of the knife in the bathtub" just sounds odd to me...
