what does it mean? bankers committing suicide

I'm talking about actual testimony where someone admits the commission of a serious crime AND presents evidence.

None of that 'yes', 'no', 'I don't recall' BS you see in most subcommittee hearing.

What crime did Snowden actually reveal?? That the NSA keeps a record of the number of calls we all make?? Get back to me when the NSA is actually recording the actual content of those conversations.

The NSA is doing what the telephone companies do, just on a much larger scale.

Snowden is an idiot. If he had that big an issue with what the NSA was doing, you don't run to Hong Kong and Russia for asylum.

What are government assistant checks?? Social Security?? Or food stamps?? Or federal subsidies to agriculture and the oil industry??
Or are you talking about all the federal contractors who rip off the government daily getting overpaid to do jobs the Feds could do themselves for a fraction of the cost??

The biggest recipients of welfare in this country aren't the poor. Believe that.


No, if there were ever a real hearing where documented prosecutable evidence was presented, the Feds would be forced to move on those big investment banks.
Without evidence, a paper trail or e-documents, accusations don't hold up to cross examination in court.

 

Bankers committing suicide? I think it says to me that this is a case of a bad conscience on their part.

 

So many bankers after the 2008 crash had not been to jail and the deaths of those bankers who took their lives bring less synthpathy.

 

You want to see a sudden revolt? Get in the way of the billionaire assholes' privilege to steal.

Using their media power over the masses, they'll rally the stupids to a lively boil in no time.

Just as they have the stupids talking about "second amendment solutions," "the govt is going to kill grandma," "obama is a kenyan muslim coming to take our guns" just because he wants to repeal the bush tax cuts and fix the healthcare system and maybe make a little progress

The poor should be marching on washington any damn way, let alone if their kids are hungry and homeless and without access to healthcare (ie. sans the "social safety net")

 

I wish Bernie Madoff would ............................

 

That's because he's a traitor.

It's coming... I heard 2 days ago a leading expert on the radio say the most astronomical global thievery of funds this world has ever heard of will soon drop on us.

 

Wow. That guy barely looks a day over 16. Scary, waiting to find out what's behind all this...

 

Is it abnormal for eleven people in the same field to commit suicide? If so what is so bad that one would choose death over life. These people have millions no matter what bad financial doomsday would befall the rest of us they'd be insulated. Part of me wonders if these are vigilante killings? Otherwise if things are so eminently bad why aren't there more suicides or a bombardment of whistle blowers. Just seems like certain things aren't connecting.

 

Murders. Silencing. Sometimes just knowing too much and showing signs of threat or weakness, is enough to put a target on a pion's head.


For those not seeing it as a silencing, but actual suicides. signs of absolute guilt reek here.

 

I was just talking to a friend about this last night not realizing that there was yet another suicide on 3/12...not sure if anyone else has been following the banking industry but some banks are putting caps on how much money you can withdraw from your account and for large amounts asking for proof on where the money is going...the FDIC has also filed charges against several banks/bankers

 

Shit like this is why cryptocurrency is becoming so huge. What they did in Cyprus two years ago should really put everyone on alert

 

An investment banker jumped to his death from the window of his million-dollar apartment in the Financial District on Thursday, sources and authorities said.

The 29-year-old man plunged from the 24th floor of the luxury Ocean apartment building at 1?West St. at about 10:40?a.m. and landed on a guardrail near the northbound Battery Park Underpass, narrowly missing a black SUV.

The man’s body was mangled by the impact, leaving one of the vehicle’s passengers horrified, witnesses said.

“I went outside, and the woman in the car was screaming, ‘I didn’t know where he came from!’?” said Hans Peler, 48, a manager at the building’s parking garage.

“It happened right in front of our guy who waves cars in with the flag. He was so shaken up, I told him to go home.”

The gruesome aftermath sent tourists on an open-air bus that was stuck in traffic scrambling for their cellphones to snap pictures of the body, said workers at the building.

“The head hit the railing .?.?. Half his head is on one side of the railing, half on the other,” recalled Frank Rodriguez, 44, a handyman who was working nearby. “It’s never worth this . . . Life is too precious.”

Sources said the young banker had made several attempts to kill himself earlier in the morning, including cutting his wrists, before making the plunge.

The man — whom police did not immediately identify — was from a wealthy family in Westchester County, sources said.

He had apparently become very successful on his own.

He owned his apartment in the 36-story Ocean complex, which overlooks The Battery and New York Harbor, and had just returned from a vacation in the Bahamas, sources said.

 

I hadn't noticed this phenomenon that much until I noticed you posting about it, but it makes sense. If they bear some responsibility for the ongoing crisis or are about to lose major amounts of money, I understand.

 

Also the pressure to produce is ridiculous. It's a job that expects growth and profits every quarter or you're out
Not to mention we are producing a much softer breed of human being these days. People who have been coddled their entire lives and know very little about hardship or failure.
Like my mom always says notice how shit keeps getting bad for poor people but they aren't killing themselves anywhere near as much as people who have it all and lose a little.

 

I think it's all relative. Poor people are kept so ground down that they rarely experience life fully. I remember a statement from Karl Marx in the Manifesto that the fullest development of human society is kept for the capitalist (music, food, health, culture) and the worker is left to survive on the dregs. It might be easier to keep on living, when all you are doing is existing. Today's human is hardier in some respects. They live longer and they survive under mentally challenging conditions that people in the past who died at 45 couldn't even imagine.

I also wonder if, since depression is a physical condition of the brain, that perhaps modern life creates greater stresses that create it that primitive life didn't subject people to.

 

The poor in most developed countries actually have it better than a lot of the wealthy from the past. I just think when you have little to lose losing it doesn't send you off the deep end.

 

That's quite possible. I also just think that the human race has never experienced what modern humans experience, so it's tough to make 1 for 1 comparisons. People were little more than animals in the past and life was eat, mate, sleep, repeat. Alvin Toffler had a section in Future Shock where he pondered whether modern life has reached a point where it exceeds the processing capacity of the human nervous system and brain, and whether we would see greater social and psychological breakdown because people are processing too much these days. Just made me think, that's all.

 

Don't mistake ability with common use my friend. Human beings are capable of so much more but unfortunately we're a species that needs to be lead and our leaders are a bunch of selfish greedy cowards
