39. I'm sorry. But this story is meaningless unless you state what percentage of bankers

Jan 2015

who are in the upper management of their banks have committed suicide or died under suspicious conditions, their ages and a lot more information such as what insurance settlements were paid out based on their suicides. (Suicide may exclude an insurance payment. I don't know.

I do not want to offend you, but this story does not mean a lot without some research on just what the deaths are about. Were some of these individuals ill? How old were they? Did they have reason to be depressed? Maybe personal reasons?

Just the number of bankers is not very meaningful. There are many, many bankers in the world. A lot of them take personal risks they should not take.

This story is just kind of empty in my view. Sorry.
