In reply to the discussion: Nothing To See Here: 39th Banker Dead in 13 Months, Third this Year [View all]FBaggins
(28,706 posts)Let's look at the list from last year.
1) Not a banker... not an executive
4) A broker/dealer/trader. "Executive director" is an example of title inflation. Nowhere near the top
5) "Junior employee"... not an executive
6) Worked for a bank, but not a banker (IT guy)... not anywhere close to an executive
8) Not a banker
9) WAS a banker 15 years ago when he sold his tiny bank. "Executive" of "Top Echelon" quite a stretch
10) See #6. IT specialist - not a banker or executive
11) Not a banker... not an executive. A kid that started an online game currency.
12) Trader for a VC firm. Not an executive
13) Not an executive (but his dad was... of a travel magazine company)
14) Bankruptcy attorney. Not an executive
16) I guess if you want to call the head of a 29-employee tiny private bank a "top echelon" executive...
17) Not an executive
18) Not an executive
19) Not an executive
20) Doesn't appear to be a banker or an executive
21) Not a banker, not an executive
22) I get a kick out of this one. Not a banker... not an executive... (a doctor) but his grandfather is claimed to be an "elite banker" (really an oil man)
23) Not a banker... not an executive. A wealthy Iranian who owned lots of companies and was executed by the government.
24) Not a banker... not an executive (for a bank anyway). Somehow I get the impression that the authors of this list translate "rich" to "insider in the banking world"
25) Senior IT guy at a bank... but not an executive
26) See #6.
27) See #25
30) Not an executive (The author obviously hasn't a clue how common VPs are at large banks)
32) Attorney for a bank... not an executive (or even a senior attorney)
33) Not an executive
34) Not an executive
35) Not an executive
36) Not an executive
