Number 4: CEO of American Title Found Dead With Self Inflicted Nail Gun Wounds
Breitbart ^ | 2/7/2014 | Debra Heine

Posted on 02/07/2014 8:27:00 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather

In response to Three Prominent Bankers Found Dead From Apparent Suicides Inside A Week:

On Monday I reported on the odd rash of suicides by financial execs in just the span of a week. There's one more rather grisly death to add to the growing list. Following the apparent suicides of 2 London bankers and a former Fed economist in the US, the Denver Post is reporting that Richard Talley, founder and CEO of American Title, was found dead in his home from self-inflicted nail-gun wounds.

The ones I’ve used will keep going if you keep it down, as long as the point makes contact with the surface you’re nailing. It has a retractable piece in front that acts as a safety.

I know a guy who left his nail gun on top of a ladder, and he stepped on the hose, it fell and drove a 3.25” spike right into the top of his head. He calmly drove himself to the hospital and they couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t of placed that nail more perfectly between the two halves of his brain if he had tried. They pulled it out, gave him a shot, and away he went.

We used a Paslode framing nailer building my house. My son was using the nailer and a friend of mine was holding the sheathing on the other side and telling my son where to use the nailer. My son nailed my friends hand to the wall twice (both times nailing exactly where he was told to).

I never said my friend was smart.Fortunately we were using the shorter nails for that particular job. I tried using it a few times and it is heavy and awkward, you have to press fairly hard before you can fire it.

Most have a front safety and shouldn’t fire unless the gun is firmly depressed against a solid object like a 2 X 4 or plywood sheet. Older models might lack that feature, but I haven’t see the murder weapon.

You only need a conspiracy of three to complete the circle.

The Zero Hedge article includes his resume in which he states:

Contract Manager U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

February 2004 - Present

American Title acts as the closing agent for all of HUD's foreclosures in the State of Colorado. We have earned HUD's highest rating for performance and customer service in 2010 and 2011.

He also lied about being a member of the 1980 U. S. Olympic swim team, so he's a natural for HUD.

There seems to be a rash of suicides with these financial CEOs. How many are killing themselves before charges might be brought? And how many are being killed?
One or two, maybe. A half dozen in as many weeks? It isn’t like they had a meeting and said we’re going to get put on trial before November so the King looks good, end your life now.

Yes correct. You have to pull the safety mechanism back and hold it for the nailer to shoot multiple times. I usual operation the gun is lifted and pressed back onto the work piece!

” Self inflicted???”

Well with a little help from Tony Soprano. :-)

They said Talley died from seven or eight self-inflicted wounds from a nail gun fired into his torso and head.

Seven or eight? That takes real dedication to shoot yourself that many times. Sounds fishy to me.
