...Speculation is rife that the series of deaths are connected to some kind of looming financial crisis or a huge legal case targeting bankers for malfeasance, although no definite link has been established.......

23rd Feb 2014 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-23/seen-atm-western-australia

sign on bank ATM reads :

"...ATTENTION Due to recent attacks on ATMs in Western Australia the cash holdings in this machine have been significantly reduced, which may result in an interruption to service. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this may cause ....

........or just a series of unfortunate 'coincidences'?

....if you can't get the links to 'open' try going directly to each website then paste topic into the 'search box'

....and it's 9 bankers as reported on 26th Feb 2014....http://www.hangthebankers.com/9th-top-level-banker-found-dead-within-weeks/

The dismal trail of dead bankers continues. As The Journal Star reports, a successful Lincoln businessman and member of a prominent local family died last week. Former National Bank of Commerce CEO James Stuart Jr. was found dead in Scottsdale, Ariz., the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say what caused the death.

Which brings the total number of recent banker deaths to 9 (via Intellihub):

1 – William Broeksmit, 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, was found dead in his home after an apparent suicide in South Kensington in central London, on January 26th.

2- Karl Slym, 51 year old Tata Motors managing director Karl Slym, was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok on January 27th.

3 – Gabriel Magee, a 39-year-old JP Morgan employee, died after falling from the roof of the JP Morgan European headquarters in London on January 27th.

4 – Mike Dueker, 50-year-old chief economist of a US investment bank was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State.

5 – Richard Talley, the 57 year old founder of American Title Services in Centennial, Colorado, was found dead earlier this month after apparently shooting himself with a nail gun.

6 -Tim Dickenson, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, also died last month, however the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.

7 – Ryan Henry Crane, a 37 year old executive at JP Morgan died in an alleged suicide just a few weeks ago.  No details have been released about his death aside from this small obituary announcement at the Stamford Daily Voice.

8 – Li Junjie, 33-year-old banker in Hong Kong jumped from the JP Morgan HQ in Hong Kong this week.

I know one I would like to add to the list!

1. Low cash holdings in ATM  (WA) due to attacks on ATM's (attacks by robbers stealing the cash out of them I presume?)

Self explanatory... banks don't want to lose money to robbery. They are probably looking at more secure features, moving ATM's from high risk areas etc.. until then they are keeping the cash in them low.

 We had robbers in our small town, drive a 4WD drive through the small malls front door and yank out a ATM and get off with it, inthe early hours of the morning. That bank concerned never replaced a ATM in that position again.

2. Suicides.. is the number of bankers who suicides (worldwide) any higher than those for lawyers or doctors or bus drivers?

I don't believe any of the above is a sign of  a looming financial crisis in Australia.

even if a few of the rumors are true they may have been threatening to talk out of school to warn the public and silenced.

the loss of rights and rapidly heading towards a dictatorship,

the rapidly escalating debt we and other governments are getting into

the favouring of big overseas companies over our own small businesses

The rumors about a financial disaster being orchestrated to help the argument for a one world government

The rumors of agenda21

but no need to worry our government wouldnt do that to us, or would they

[lind9650]

We need a man like Thomas Minder.

Google his name and find out what he did to Swiss Fat Cats.

Would make a big change in our economies.

There's always a looming financial crisis 😞

well i know there is the 1929 wall street crash scenario as a precedent , but i've never actually checked to see whether they did jump out of windows in numbers.  the incidents i know of personally were generally depression or  a girl (or boy) a marriage a drought etc .. more than a mere stock market crash anyway.
