Being as one was a former banker, I cannot help but wonder if these guys were perhaps threatening to talk......maybe their conscience got to them and they wanted to warn people about what's coming, but instead were silenced.
I know, it's a small chance, being as most bankers seem to lack a conscience, but maybe, due to the scale of the collapse, they thought of warning people in advance because they felt guilty.

High-frequency traders, now better known as numerologists, move in and out of short-term positions aiming to capture sometimes just a fraction of a cent in profit on every trade.[3] HFT firms do not employ significant leverage, accumulate positions or hold their portfolios overnight;[9] they typically compete against other HFTs, rather than long-term investors.[9][10] As a result, HFT has a potential Sharpe ratio (a measure of risk and reward) thousands of times higher than traditional buy-and-hold strategies.[11] HFT may cause new types of serious risks to the financial system.[1][12] Algorithmic and HFT were both found to have contributed to volatility in the May 6, 2010 Flash Crash, when high-frequency liquidity providers rapidly withdrew from the market.[1][12][13][14] Several European countries have proposed curtailing or banning HFT due to concerns about volatility.[1
Sept. 24, 2013 12:09 p.m. ET NEW YORK—New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman called on officials in Washington to take action to prevent high-speed traders from making investments based on early peeks at market-moving data and analyst reports in what he called "Insider Trading 2.0."

Two suicides on the same day could cause more attention than wanted. In this instance because of that very reason I am leaning more towards genuine suicides.
Their reasons? That's a different story altogether and I have no idea. Should anything happen drastically in the very near future ... Then it may shed more light.
