Bloomberg is reporting this morning that former Federal Reserve economist Mike Dueker was found dead in an apparent suicide near Tacoma, Washington. Dueker, 50, a chief economist at Russell Investments, had been missing since Jan. 29 and was reportedly having troubles at work. Normally HousingWire wouldn’t cover deaths in the industry, but what’s strange is that Dueker is the third prominent banker found dead since Sunday. On Sunday, William Broeksmit, 58, former senior manager for Deutsche Bank, was found hanging in his home, also an apparent suicide. On Tuesday, Gabriel Magee, 39, vice president at JPMorgan Chase & Co’s (JPM) London headquarters, apparently jumped to his death from a building in the Canary Wharf area.

Why would your mind even go there? I'm sure a lot of people off themselves 'after the holidays'. I guess I feel bad for the families involved, but it's real hard to feel bad for the industry that they've left. They were probably shorted a couple million in their bonuses and couldn't take the pressure. Guess, all those 'do nothings' who are living on less than $30k US/year at least have a back bone compared to the whiners.

This is interesting, though I think the odds of bitcoin being related are slim to none.

Bitcoin certainly not. We know big things are coming, and the shadow banking sector is scrambling to set up their positions for the next financial era. Bitcoin is a blip and of interest within the upcoming era, but has no bearing on anything that could motivate a murder or suicide yet. My interest has been piqued however, so I will spend a few minutes trying to estimate if this is a severe statistical anomaly or not.

If those bankers sold their soul to the devil worshipers cult Illuminati for massive amount of money or high ranking positions in governments, then, they had it coming.

I hope that's just a coincidence. If TSHTF and there was a global bank meltdown worse than 2008, this is exactly the kind of thing that would precede it.

That's fucked up... but I'm sure there are thousands of suicides a day and I'm sure we can find many people who killed themselves who share the same occupation.

If you interpret it that way I don't agree with me either. What I mean is, in the new era, it will be everything, but at the close of the current banking era, it is merely a blip on their radar, if at all. Most of these fellows have people to operate their computer mice for them. This is not a fictitious analogy; literally, they do not mess with computers. They drink fine liquor and smoke cigars from yachts and issue orders to subordinates. Upon being presented with a mouse, at least one famous banker worth more money than god was perplexed with its operation. This was but a few years ago at most.

Apparently they were whistleblowers. That would make sense but I can't find any proof of that...

What's killing banks/bankers is their bloated and unnecessary fees.
Most my generation and the younger generations are refusing traditional banking in favor of alternatives with less fees.
