But I found the three banker suicide in the past week some what coincidenta
to something going on in the banking system.
A third banker has committed suicide within the space of a week, once again prompting speculation that some kind of financial collapse could be just around the corner.
Mike Dueker, the chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state, according to the Pierce County Sheriffs Department. He was 50, reports Bloomberg.
Dueker fell down a 50 foot embankment in what police are describing as a suicide. He was reported missing on January 29 by friends, who said he had been having problems at work.
Duekers apparent suicide follows those of London banking executives Gabriel Magee and Bill Broeksmit.
Magee, a 39-year-old senior manager at JP Morgans European headquarters, jumped 500ft from the top of the banks headquarters in central London on Tuesday, landing on an adjacent 9 story roof.
Maybe its just a coincidence but sometimes its Synchronicity which is the experience of two or more events as meaningfully related, where they are unlikely to be causally related
