quote:

It is thought at least eight finance professionals have taken their lives so far this year. They are:

Autumn Radtke, 28, the CEO Bitcoin exchange First Meta, was found dead on 28 February outside her Singapore apartment. She had jumped from a 25-story building, authorities said.

Li Junjie, 33, a JP Morgan employee, leaped to his death from the roof of the company's 30-story Hong Kong office tower, authorities said. Photos showed Junjie on the building's roof moments before he jumped.

Li Junjie is thought to have leapt to his death soon after this photo was taken.

Gabriel Magee, 39, an IT vice president at JP Morgan fell to his death from the roof of the bank's 33-storey office in Canary Wharf on 28 January.

Mike Dueker, 50, a chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at the side of a road in Washington State on 31 January.

William Broeksmit, 58, was found hanged at a house in South Kensington, London on 26 January. He was a former senior risk manager at Deutsche Bank.

Richard Talley, the 57-year-old founder of American Title Services in Centennial, Colorado, was found dead earlier this month after apparently shooting himself with a nail gun.

Edmund Reilly, 47, a New York trader at Midtown's Vertical Group, commited suicide by jumping in front of commuter train on 11 March.

'Lydia', who leapt to her death from the from a 14-storey window at French bank Bred-Banque-Populaire's Paris office on 22 April, did so after clashing with bosses.



This seems like an abnormal number of suicides for one demographic especially when these guys are making bank (pun intended). Is there something going on here...blackheli? Do executive banking positions have a occupational hazard that we don't really understand?

I couldn't speculate, but my assumption would be that these guys may make piles of money, but they have no frickin life outside of their job. In the office by 8am. Not home until 1am.

Lots of money does not a fulfilling life make.

People in banking and investments have a high suicide rate whenever there is a downturn of some type.

It doesn't even have to be an economy-wide one as much as them making enough bad investments to go broke and/or not cashing out at the right time and missing a big pot of gold as a result.

Not a very small demographic. Also, many of these people are not what I would call "bankers."

This is true. I have close friends in the banking and financial services industry and they work very long hours.

Cleaning house so the conspiracy isn't revealed.

Seriously, though, money doesn't buy happiness. And with those long hours they have no time for anything else (family, friends, social life).

I'll never make what they do (barring a winning lottery ticket), but I'll have time to come here on TD and argue politics. And have a lot of fun doing so.

To life and TigerDroppings!

Looks like it is time to short JPMorgan.

There must be something going on there.

A $600k house?

JP Morgan must pay its directors jack squat.

This was sufficiently debunked the last time it came up as a lot of the suicides/deaths involved people being shoe-horned into the "banker" demographic.

While they are somewhat involved in the same industry, a lot of these people have extremely different jobs.

I see a crypto-currency person, a random JP employee (doesn't specify what), an IT person, an economist, a banker, a real estate guy (under investigation, at that), a trader, and an unspecified employee. Not very similar at all.
