Investment bankers are almost as dangerous a profession as Iranian nuclear physicists and aspiring rappers.

Wish they would jump off the bridges instead. Much cleaner and far less traumatic for passerbys not to witness blood and gore.

This kind of behavior does not help the “Dead Bankers” Mystery. Who did he think he was anyway, Leonardo diCaprio in that recent movie?

Seriously. If you’re going to commit suicide, at least be respectful of the fact that nobody wants to see you splattered all over the streets.

"Financial firms have been trying to do more to improve the lifestyles of their employees"

They could start by hiring fewer hitmen.

Isn’t this one of the major economic indicators, or if not it should be. When bankers and brokers are leaping out of buildings I think it might be time to go liquid.

Why do these guys always have to jump off of buildings? Don’t their bosses have other creative ways to kill these guys. The MO is too obvious.

If these guys really did die by their own hand I doubt if they cared about what happened to their remains or who saw what. If they had help with their “suicide”, I would think it sends a message to others about the consequences.

I thought they were supposed to jump out of buildings AFTER the stock market crashes.

I agree they must know something or have gotten involved where they are privy to know something is coming down the pike.

Well, this will be the very last bad choice he will ever make.

I am thinking that within 10’ after he jumped, he changed his mind.
