What To Do When Bankers Start Jumping Out Of Windows [And Shooting Themselves With Nail Guns!]

(Before It's News)

by James Corbett, The International Forecaster:

For a long time, the idea of bankers jumping out of windows was little more than a popular trope. Nearly a century removed from the Black Tuesday scene that inspired the image, it was more of a joking way to refer to a potential downturn in the economy than an actual, physical reality.

Sadly, however, that grisly seen is exactly what played out at JP Morgan’s European headquarters at 25 Bank Street in London’s Canary Wharf late last month. On January 28th, Gabriel Magee, 39, fell to her death from the roof of the 33 story building, landing on the roof of the building’s 9 story southern extension. At least one Canary Wharf worker, Hetal Patel, live tweeted the scene: “The 9th floor roof of JP Morgan is visible from my office window. For a long time the body was left cordoned & unattended. Weird.”

As horrible as that scene must have been, it was not the only apparent suicide by a financial executive in the past week. The day before Magee’s death, the managing director of Tata Motors was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok. The day before that, William Broeksmit, a former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, was believed to have killed himself at his central London home. The day after Magee’s death, Russell Investment chief economist and former Federal Reserve researcher Mike Dueker was found dead in Washington State after having fallen 15 meters to his death.
