Too bad it wasn’t Jamie Dimon. Only a few thousand more bankers to go and we’ll be getting somewhere.
Man Jumps To His Death From JPMorgan London Headquarters
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/28/2014 07:48 -0500
Early this morning, at JPM’s 33 story high London Headquarters located at 25 Bank Street in Canary Wharf, a 39 year-old man jumped to his death after falling onto a 9th floor roof. The police, who were called to the scene at 8:02 this morning, said they are not treating the death as suspicious and no arrests have been made, suggesting the death was indeed a suicide. London Ambulance Service and London Air Ambulance attended but they could not save the man.
Bloomberg quotes Jennifer Zuccarelli, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan in London who said that “We are reviewing a very sad incident at 25 Bank Street this morning.” The building and the surrounding area is “currently secure,” she said.
From Bloomberg:
The 11-year-old skyscraper is 33 stories high, according to building-data provider Emporis. It was formerly the European headquarters of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history in 2008.
The bank declined to identify the deceased person or say whether they worked for JPMorgan. The police are waiting for “formal identification,” they said in an e-mailed statement.
London24, which also notes that this is the second high profile banking death within just a few days after Deutsche bank announced its former executive William Broeksmit 58, was found dead in his home on Sunday,caught some tweets describing the incident:
Is this just the first of many banker suicides, if indeed this was a suicide?
Enjoy a little musical tribute to Jamie Dimon and his ilk.
for dimon to hop to his death it would mean he had developed a conscience. that’s a pretty tall order for a person who doesn’t even have a soul.
Jumping to their death is too good for these fuckers.
Nail them side by side in the middle of wall street, use one of those old time steam rollers, start at the toes, move the machine a inch a day, the pressure will keep them from bleeding out until the pressure is too great, and POP.
Then wash the remains into the sewer to feed the rats.
He probably just found out the consequences for trying to work a 6-day workweek once a month, like they’re telling the junior bankers to do (after others “worked themselves to death”).
The contempt people have for bankers astounds me. Of course, in the Christian Bible, the only time Jesus lost his shit was when he encountered bankers. He could hang out with Satan in the desert but the very sight of bankers drove him to attack them with a whip – or so the story goes. Anyway, keep in mind that the contempt we have for them is mirrored by the contempt they have for us except they wield the power.
Imagine the kind of world we could create were these parasites gone.
Jump!
Not that you’ve given it any thought, Card802…
Card802, I’m worried that they will bleed out of the nail holes that are attaching them to the street and that you will not get a very satisfying ‘pop’.
Whether they jump, get pushed, get steamrolled, or whatever else, any retribution that entails the bankers’ untimely demise is too good. They need a very long life, surrounded by all the luxuries and trinkets afforded by corruption and graft after having watched their families destroyed by the aforementioned gravity-assist/sudden stop or steamrollers. Let them live out their decades alone, cold, and unremembered by anyone.
As William Black has said : this is the largest illegal transfer of wealth in human history.
it would be great to see a conga line of bankers fire themselves off the rooftop, provided they have a politician under each arm.
It was an executive! Woo hoo! http://news.msn.com/world/jp-morgan-executive-plunges-to-death-at-london-hq
@ecliptix: that only works for people with a real conscience. Would simply be a reward for the bankster types. I think we need to bring back Genghis Khan for a one-time, limited purpose comeback tour.
You ungrateful impoverished bastards. We are doing our Gods work.
“OUR Gods work”
Hard to put it more succinctly.

skinbag, I suspect that a full accounting (impossible) of the various government entities (starting with the FedGov and its 50 vassals) would reveal an ongoing criminal enterprise that dwarfs the last 19 years of malfeasance on Wall St.
