This one is tricky
It should be absolutely fascinating to hear how this latest banker "suicide" is explained away.
The dust has barely settled on the latest high profile banker suicide in which Deutsche Bank's associate general counsel, and former SEC regulator, Charlie Gambino was found dead, having hung himself by the neck from a stairway banister, and here comes the latest sad entrant in the dead chronicles of 2014 when earlier today, the Post reports, a Citigroup banker was found dead with his throat slashed in the bathtub "of his swanky downtown apartment, authorities said Wednesday."I like how the absence of a knife leads officials "to suspect the death was not a suicide". After all, perhaps his fingernails were excessively long and sharp? Or maybe his rubber ducky known to be unusually aggressive? Considering that they got the press to bite on the "suicide" of the banker who shot himself "seven or eight times" with a nailgun as well as that of the scientist who managed to stuff himself in a duffel bag, don't count them out here.
Unlike previous "clearcut" suicides, this time there may have been foul play: the Post adds that "there was no knife recovered at the scene, leading officials to suspect the death was not a suicide, and they were trying to determine who had access to his apartment."

It was a knife made out of ice. It melted.
Clearly he had ebola. That's why he killed himself. Then, he got resurrected as a Godless Ebola Zombie, and got rid of the knife.
This clearly calls for common sense gun control...
It's pretty clear cut, really.
He cut his own throat, threw the knife out the bathroom window, closed the window and then climbed into the bathtub. He was clearly trying to create suspicion of a conspiracy.
Open and shut case of suicide.
Gambino still makes me laugh.
" He was clearly trying to create suspicion of a conspiracy." Damn bankers cant leave well enough alone.
Any viable theories about what is going on here? I don't get it . .
Where was Janet "The Yenta who walks through walls" Yellen at the time of death?
At least he didn't throw himself off the top of a skyscraper, so we can deduce that the Plunge Protection Team is still on the job...
Cover up? Covering up what?
How many 'victims' to date?
It's obvious. The guy gnawed his own neck open. No reason to suspect foul play.
Slashing your own throat? Weird way to do it, I should think.
I understand sometimes it pays the criminals to off whistle-blowers. But what's the point here? What former secrets of the banksters aren't pretty well known by now?
Washington Mutual and Countrywide both went under. This all happened out in the open and I don't believe anyone paid any price. Basically, it seems the public and the government both accept CEO's in the banking "industry" who run their businesses into the ground, arrange a bailout and exit with tens of millions of bonuses.
There just isn't any motive to kill a whistle-blowing bankster.
Apparently 48 by August 22
This would be comical if the implications weren't so frightening.
For all we know, since he lived in Greenwich Village, he called into one of those CL listings, and a freak came in and killed him, and it may have nothing to do with his bankster ways. George Weber, of WABC radio suffered the same ending.
It doesn't seem like it's been framed as suicide to me. Who'd be dumb enough to do that and take the knife with them?
"It doesn't seem like it's been framed as suicide to me. Who'd be dumb enough to do that and take the knife with them?"
A hit man who thinks that the key part is the killing, not the things afterwards. However, it would probably have looked more like a suicide if he had slit his wrists with a nail gun.
DrTorch:
Yeah, that name certainly caught my eye.
We's whacked him good baws.
Or...
could this be some quantum consequence of whack-a-mole?
Was he wearing his underpants? Because if not, I have a suspicion.
Scientist? Duffle bag?
I must have missed that one.
I know that Zero Hedge jumps on these stories, but is anybody actually listing, so we can go look and see how the list is adding up and who they are?
"A Handy Guide to Bankster Suicides" maybe?
Thank You for mentioning these events. If they weren't noted here, or at Zero Hedge, I doubt most of us would ever know about them. Looks like the Gnomes are 'brushing out their footprints' as things start to go pearshaped.

See Markku's link above.
Nevermind, looks like Markku posted the link.
I need to book mark that place.

The autopsy is settled. Consensus is obvious suicide. Only tin foil hat wearing global warming deniers who watch Faux News and oppress womyn believe otherwise.
You don't oppress womyn, do you?
He slashed his throat with a piece of sharpened beef jerky, which was subsequently eaten by ants HA HA HA THE PERFECT CRIME
So are all these the acts of random people who got screwed over by bankers, or are we talking about a bonafide conspiracy?
@DT
Who is hiding what and why? I am truly mystified ...
1) dead banksters
2) ???
3) profit
Its only a couple of bankers so no big deal. Until Dimon or Blankfein off themselves, who cares?
It's almost as if the parties doing the deed are being more and more obvious so that it's harder to call the deaths suicide.
Is it suicide of you hire the hit on yourself?
"Is it suicide of you hire the hit on yourself?"
I think it is called Assisted Suicide. It's a big deal in the EU, it seems.
Lots of those banker's deaths were probably Assisted Suicide as well, although perhaps involuntary.
Was he wearing his underpants? Because if not, I have a suspicion.
Especially if they were the magical variety.
Vox, maybe this is really about #BanksterGaters, who want to design, develop, and play...er...I mean market the kinds of financial products we want to sell to unwitting dupes...American idiots...pension funds.
Anyway...versus the anti-#BanksterGaters, who will literally drink the blood of the banksters rather than let them get off scot-free. Or something like that.
It's preferable to telling the people that there are one or more killers on the loose targeting bankers. And getting away with it. Would almost certainly inspire copycats.
The presumption of suicide is odd, is it not? None of these people sound like whistle blowers. Maybe one or more people are actually offing bankers as a class.
He used a scalpel that he had tied to a bundle of helium-filled balloons with a length of fishing line. When released the scalpel, the balloons simply carried it away. The balloons also carried away the small dowel rod he used to prop the window open, allowing it to fall shut and latch itself.
Case closed.
Charlie Gambino? Seriously? As in Gambino crime family? A mysterious suicide? This really can't be more obvious. Much like Bernie Madoff who "Made-off" with all of that money. Or perhaps Ellen DeGenerous which, from what I hear, is french for "degenerate".
It's really an open joke. Too bad it goes over the heads of most people due to the gov. run brainwashing warehouses ("public school").
Clearly this was a beheading attempt by ISIS that went horribly wrong.
This is some seriously funny shit.
But it still doesn't beat the guy who got suicided with a nail gun. 7 times. In the chest. With a final nail in the head. In a state that allows anyone to buy a normal revolver. Because hey, if you're gonna go, go out with STYLE.
I can't wait for the guy who gets suicided by cutting off his own head using dental floss.
"I can't wait for the guy who gets suicided by cutting off his own head using dental floss."
They also haven't used the necktie-caught-in-the-fanbelt accident yet.

I always thought the politicians would be the first to get theirs. Have the bankers become bigger villains even above politicians?
I think the perp was this guy
Dear commenters. If you read the NY Post article linked in the body of the ZH story, it is plainly stated that suicide is suspected because a knife was found under the body. Now I enjoy a dead banker conspiracy story as much as any atheist anarcho-capitalist champion of dark enlightenment, but sometimes a suicide is just a suicide.

Agreed. Clearly after slashing his throat he put the knife under his body out of consideration for the investigators because he was afraid they would not be able to see the knife in all the blood and would likely cut their fingers while lifting him out.
It`s an obvious suicide. He was smoking bath salts. I`m waiting for a bankster to be caught with either a dead girl or a live boy.
Maybe be read Dunhams book and said "what has been read cannot be unread" and made a massive paper cut on his neck

I don't care how it's explained, can we just have more?
Simple. Tie a line from a helium balloon to the knife. Slash throat. Knife floats away.

it is plainly stated that suicide is suspected because a knife was found under the body.
It also plainly stated that Tad was seen entering the building with the victim and leaving alone.:
His body was found by a doorman Tuesday, after his boyfriend called building operators and said he was worried for the banker’s safety.
Miller was last seen on surveillance video getting off an elevator at about 6 p.m. Monday with a mysterious man who was not his beau. The unidentified male was later spotted on camera living(sic) alone.
Investigators, however, believe the death is a suicide because of the nature of the wounds and the fact a knife was found under his body, sources said.
Why did you leave that out.............. Tad?
And now for something completely different:
Woman’s text from British banker’s apartment minutes before she was murdered: ‘I want to get out of here’
HONG KONG — Minutes before she was murdered at the Hong Kong flat of the British banker Rurik Jutting, an Indonesian woman he had taken there from a nightclub sent a text message to a friend saying: “I want to get out of here”.
The body of Seneng Mujiasih, who also used the name Jesse Lorena, was found by police on the sitting room floor of Mr. Jutting’s 31st floor home at about 3.45 a.m. on Nov 1, according to local reports. Ms. Mujiasih, who was about 30, had wounds to her throat and buttocks and a knife reportedly lay next to her body.
"a knife reportedly lay next to her body"......obvious suicide. And now some poor innocent banker is being persecuted.
Hey. I just noticed. If you subtract the "b" and add a "w" you get wanker. And what are organized criminal gangs of wankers? Wanksters!

Some people, when they get ripped off write a strongly worded letter to the Better Business Bureau and maybe say that "Congress should do something."
Other people handle it differently.

Bankers that just happen to die one after another in unfortunate: "accidents" smells like assassination.
Anyone who paid attention to the overheated rhetoric of the Occupy "movement" can see exactly where this is coming from -- and why the liberal machine is keeping it quiet. Murderous brownshirts are far too useful to let the police get hold of them.

Nothing tops the man in England who supposedly offed himself by decapitation with a chainsaw. I don't have the link at hand, but that's was the police coroner's opinion.

And not necessarily to howls of grass-roots public outrage either.
While Indonesia was in the throes of resolving an excessive crime problem by nonjudicial means, a sign was spotted in a shop-front window, a sign that I think may one day be seen in white countries also:

Have the bankers become bigger villains even above politicians?
They have been all along. The Banking Houses and Financiers and their Corps and their $$ run the show.
They are the pimp, politicos are the willing prostitutes.
