No offense, but I have no sympathy for the selfish act of suicide. [sans the innocent i.e. schoolboy] Live the life of greed, excess and luxury then take the cowards way out when things get rough, leaving behind spouses and offspring to tend for themselves? The ultimate selfish act. Pity? Not an ounce for the cowards [the true douche bag's].
Politicians being composed primarily of sociopaths and narcissists are too emotionally deficient to experience the despair necessary to suicide.
True dat! Either... (1) The suicidal bankers are so guilt-ridden they can't face the consequences of their acts and commit suicide to avoid public scrutiny, or (2) they were actually murdered by others who fear "spilling of the beans". In either case.. could be "something is brewing" in the markets which will be played out at a later date...
So far, taking into account overseas branches ( JPM HK branches, etc...) , that's a little bit more than 20 bankers in prime age who have 'committed suicide ' since january. I really need to reflect well on this philosophy. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Nsd64zyTgAs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In Great Britain 5000 people kill them selves per year, in one town alone 25 people killed themselves between January 2007 and February 2009, people kill them selves because people like to look deeper into things than they need to and they see things that are not there...looking deeply into things can create all sorts of problems, from the belief that the world hates you and there's no point in going on, to the idea the worlds about to end because several bankers killed them selves, because they must know something we don't....
Or some people are taking preventive measures against 'publicity' about what they are up to. If that's the case, I would have thought that, if 'innocent', the safest route for the bankers would have been to get out all the "news" out with maximum publicity asap, and make sure who needs to be dealt with got dealt with very quickly. These bankers might not have realised that one way to avoid this fate of silence, is to publicise the "news". hmmm ... Actually, wasn't JPM charged with billions+ fines? It seems that being a banker is becoming a very dangerous job.
