The dismal trail of dead bankers continues. As The Journal Star reports, a successful Lincoln businessman and member of a prominent local family died last week. Former National Bank of Commerce CEO James Stuart Jr. was found dead in Scottsdale, Ariz., the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say what caused the death. This brings the total of banker deaths in recent weeks to 9 as Stuart is sadly survived by three sons and four daughters.
In 1969, Stuart joined Citibank in New York City and served as a loan officer until 1973, when he joined First Commerce Bancshares (then NBC Co.) as executive vice president. He was named president in 1976, chairman and CEO in 1978, and also became chairman and CEO of National Bank of Commerce in 1985. Stuart spent his life building the organization into an important business voice in Lincoln, friend and colleague Brad Korell said.
According to Korell, Stuart was living in Scottsdale, overlooking his family's financial investments, as well as golfing and fishing.

This is getting weird. What the hell is going on??
Stuart spent much of his career with First Commerce Bancsha
First Commerce Bancshares Inc. was a banking company whose main subsidiary, National Commerce Bank, was the largest bank in Lincoln, Nebraska. On July 17, 2000, First Commerce's banks became part of Wells Fargo Bank. At the time First Commerce had about 1400 employees and $2.3 billion in assets. National Bank of Commerce had $1.5 billion in assets. Other units of First Commerce included a mortgage company, an asset management company, and NBC/Computer Services Corporation

Tried to explain this to a few people the other day. They all looked at me like I had three heads. It's getting a little crazy what is going on. It's not like young, or starting out bankers that are dying. It seems to be veteran, old timers who have no doubt seem 'blood' in their field before, usually these guys wouldn't just jump off buildings and shoot themselves with nail guns, they'd just keep on making that cash.

Didn't some character (benjamin fullford?) in Hong Kong or the PRC say that the "White Dragons" were going to start off'ing the bankers. BTW, TATA Motors had a new car coming out that was going to have fantastic gas mileage and cost I think it was less than $3,000. That might piss off a few oil industry exec, bankers, politicians and their handlers.
