40 Deutsche Bank Employees Injured After Inhaling "Dangerous" Substance In Schkeuditz, Germany
It appears banker popularity is low to quite low not only in the US but virtually everywhere. According to Lepizig-Fernsehen, a toxin alert has been issued at a Deutsche Bank branch in Schkeuditz, a suburb town of Leipzig, where 40 people have been "injured" after inhaling a white powdery substance delivered hours before, and which spread via the building's air conditioning system.
From LF:
On Friday afternoon marched forces of police and firefighters from the Deutsche Bank building in Schkeuditz. Around 40 people have been injured by inhaling a dangerous, but so far unknown substance.
The package with the white powder had been delivered in the hours before. With great probability the substance spread through the air conditioning throughout the building.
40 people were contaminated there, the entire office complex and an adjoining nursery were evacuated. More than 100 people were affected by the safeguards. The police and firefighters are having a large contingent on site to accommodate the investigation into the powder and its origin.
More as we see it.

I'm sure all you ZHers are hoping these "evil" bankers all die a slow agonizing death from what they breathed in.
Well no.....not die. Do you think we're heartless or something?
Bankers inhaling white powder ? This is new ?
Dude kills in the Catskills.......the bankers line up to see him.
Gas chambers suck - huh Germany!
No, it was Gary Busey working in the Italian Parliament's post office again. He's selling the stuff (cut with baking soda of course) so that he can keep part of it for himself.
Local paper Leipziger Volkszeitung in its online edition said the incident may be linked to an ongoing wage dispute at the offices.
GOLD DUST
Someone put the wrong 'substance' in the vent. They usually use some kind of stimulent. Keeps the bankers sharp.
If someone broke in your house to steal a dollar, you would shoot him in the face, but bankers steal from us every day through inflation, and we're supposed to have a heart?
yup
Quick and painless is ok by me.
Guillotines.
Vive la France.
This though is sad....
Little people going after little people. Tch.
ori
Absolutely.
IRL, I'm a passivist.
Interesting. Pacifist has a fist in it. Vist is better.
Nice Bob oh. I know you are. ;-)
oreye
Timmay Geitner left his rotting bag of bad blow there last week!
WTF?
Have you anything to say about the poor, undoubtedly completely innocent victims of a viscious attack? Some evil individual(s) just attacked people and your "concern" is to accuse ZHers of disgusting thoughts emanating solely from your own despicable mind.
Know thyself and try to be a better human being.
Lighten up Francis.
lol...even I had to up-arrow ya on that. Thanks for the levity.
There is no innocents when you choose to work for a bank, for a system of dominance, and for an empire of criminals. All men have choice and they can chose to be innocent only by removing themselves from the side of criminals and taking the side of those who fight them.
Yeah that pimply faced 22 year old teller at my local branch deserves to die for choosing to be "on the side of the criminals"
You are one sick and twisted piece of human excrement.
Maybe I am just intolerant to my fellow man's ignorance of their own crimes. I have my own past deeds that I must face. They have theirs. And I don't think death is the right punishment... please don't assume that was said when it never was.
My point is that there are no innocent people here. Who are we to judge that branch's staff guilty, or conversely innocent/? My own experience indicates that bankers at all levels helped commit crimes.... from people signing fraud signatures, to overstating borrower incomes, to selling shitty securities at Goldman Sachs. My experience indicates bankers have a history of criminal activity at all levels.
As much as i complain about the Jews, i feel sympathy for Joe Jew on the street who, being proud of his heritage, benefits in some way through nepotism, sympathetic propaganda, etc., but doesn't want to look too deeply into the atrocities of his clan leaders. Nevertheless, he has blood on his hands.
By the same token, i can't deny that i am an American and lived a better life than most of the world's inhabitants, because i benefited from the perennial atrocities committed by my national leaders, and actively supported several of them. Yeah, i've got blood on my hands, and will probably be reviled by many foreign people for a long time. It sucks.
apt name
I'm all for it. As long as it got the top dogs and not a bunch of general employees that are there for just a job and don't even know what the fuck is going on which is most likely the case. That's as stupid as killing cops.
"Just following orders," has not, historically, been an acceptable defence, and ignorance is no excuse either.
Hey, freedom isn't free! LOL...
I have no wish for anyone to die - let alone some poor office drones just going to work. I do however, think this was a message "someone" is sending Germany to play ball or else.
Ajoining nursery....I hope this substance did not enter the nursery. That is rather sickening.
Why not? Folks around here would justify it because the kids are future bankers.
Lay off the sanctimonious trolling.
Simple COTS-"toxins" like Icing sugar or baking powder sends the message just as effectively, much more effectively in fact because the casualties will be caused by the automated police response to an imagined terr'ist threat!
Every security clampdown will cost millions, for nothing, exactly like the Global War On Terror!
I'd be willing to bet they got sick over the tons of toxic paper DB is holding, rather than some "powder"
No I don't, but you were fishing for arrows, you got them.
Working in a bank would mean agonizing death to me, no powder needed.
All this over a stupid movie?
I doubt this is Islamic terrorism.
More likely a disgruntled customer.
Unless, it was someones coke delivery ?
terrorist killing bankers? They're the best allies they have
Exactly !
The bankers are doing a far better job of destroying western democracy than Al Qaeda.
i think the 'movie' that everyone is upset about here is 'wallsteet2' which was a horrible movie and i could see how it could drive someone to kill...
if bad movies alone would get people torching everything in site, the whole state of Califronia would have been wiped off the map by now
All this over a stupid movie?
Dude.....they mocked the Fuhrer....we can't let that stand.
"white powdery substance" Sounds like anthrax.
no way
they are bankers
its cocaine
Someone cutting bankster blow with anthrax?
Now, there's an idea!
AH fuck you're right.
Having worked for folks who were attacked by anthrax you would know...although not immediately.
"Hey, someone sent us free cocaine! Let's snort it!"
Sounds like the band Anthrax?
Not to sound insensitive or cruel, but I like the idea of quarentining bankers.
Not to sound insensitive or cruel, but do you like the idea of quartering bankers?
As an aside...these are excellent American made axes.
ok a gransfor is $100 less and cuts like a beaver. how do these weirdly painted axes cut...i want to know!
Best Made's unpainted American Felling Axe is $158 with a leather blade cover. The same axe from Gransfor is $189 and the head weighs a pound less!
Made in America for 20% less money, and cuts just as well, if not better. I can literally shave with it.
...so the paint job adds $150 to the price. i just feel like i am being assraped with 'buy american' and pay double the price. why cant american axe companies produce a product for the same price as a european company...?
The American company produces the same product for 20% less than the European company.
Neither are painted at this price.
Feel free to pay 20% more for the European model.
horseman...you are a horses ass....most of the axes on that site sell for $300. hold yourself up as the example of a typical america idiot.
But not the one we are comparing.
hedgelee_horseman you are so full of shit.....your $158 axe is just a $110 council tool axe with a longer handle and they are marked up because the handles are painted..!.....typical bullshit 'buy american' and get ass raped.
americans cant seem to produce a value product. EVERYTHING IS JUST MARKETING BULLSHIT...! best made doesnt make the axe you dumb fuck...council tool does.

So all bankers are guilty? Reap what you sow. Got kids? Lots of people are going to have axes, they won't be particular, and you don't have what it takes to stop them.
Guy with the biggest ax to grind makes the rules. Maybe all white people are guilty, as the Brazilian President stated two years ago. Maybe all Americans are guilty, for using too many resources and condoning via silence a miserable foreign policy. Your kids are white Americans, right? Oooh, doubly guilty. Perhaps the aggrieved parties won't have time for filters. Quarter 'em all; let god or allah or krishna or Jeffrey Dahmer sort them out.
Excellent axes, huh? Oh, you were just joking? Is that gallows humor or just a complete lack of compassion for some low wage tellers and janitorial staff? When some loon gasses your kids' school, we'll all feel free to make Zyklon B jokes, right? Did I read this wrong? Is it heartless_horseman?
So how exactly did some VIP's blow get into the A/C?
It could be anything: anthrax... cocaine... the cremation ashes of the market.
Assassinating bankers and politicians was almost a national sport in Weimar.
Who are we kidding. It was bad coke!
No, a banker must have sneezed into an air intake.
Let's hope it wasn't something deadly.
+1. Regardless of one's opinion of bankers and the evil they bestow upon the world, there are lots of innocent people employed at banks who are just trying to earn a living.
Unfortunatly who ever did this, their hatred of bankers has caused them to target the wrong people. My guess is that most of the people injured are low to mid level staff people trying to scratch out a living. They aren't the people who are the problem, but they are the people getting hurt.
I seldom comment on people junking me...I really don't give a shit. But if you really want these people dead then something is seriously wrong with you.
WRONG! Claiming to just be following orders doesn't forgive you of your crimes against your fellow man.
All participants in the banking system are enablers in some form or another of the crime. They all fall into the same class of citizen to me. Criminal enablers. No different than the FBI who encourages otherwise law abiding people to attempt to blow up a bar in Chicago with n FBI designed and built 'bomb' to entrap the person.
Low level bankers are still scum and deserve just as much love from the populous as the big time execs. All enablers deserve the same fate, whatever that may end up being.
Well doesn't that definition by default make you an enabler when you participate in a corrupt economy using the fiat that supplies the system? How about the fact that you sit back and do nothing while a murderous regime kills indiscriminately across the globe? Are you fighting back or are you just following orders and participating in a system that commits crime against your fellow man? Do you deserve the same fate, or are you just trying to scratch out a living?
Yes. I am not guilt free.
Thank you...none of us are,but that doesn't mean we deserve to die. It means we strive to do better. The moment that I wish ill will upon another human is the moment when I become like one of them who act on that wish.
Did I say "die"? Nope
"Low level bankers are still scum and deserve just as much love from the populous as the big time execs. All enablers deserve the same fate, whatever that may end up being."
You certainly implied it.
I would be terribly sad if someone snuffed out the pretty girls in my local bank.
1. I need the service they provide.
2. Well, they are pretty, and nice, and innocent people!
I presume you pay your internet in one way or other, even if it is by being mamis little sweet boy.
Captain my ass.
It was Pretzal dust....its Octoberfest remember....
Ashes of dreams
And blood stained streets
Barium and Aluminum? Good for the goose and all that.
Likely the work of a pharma looking to sell some bags of antidote.
Dear Deutsche Bank,
Please enjoy a free sample of our cocaine,
Love Greece
This is a DB branch. These people aren't doing blow, they're probably tellers and secretaries for the most part.
Meh. Fraud enablers just the same and certainly not part of the solution. Fuck 'em.
Surprise coke party gone wrong?
Any hookas on the scene... under the tables usually??

It's a fresh delivery of Benocide.
A gangnam style flash party broke out 5 minutes later...

Juncker on the loose here.
Forget Occupy Wall Street, just powder the bankers?
Schkeuditz: with its US/France/Canada-owned plants, this area of East Germany feels particularly oppressed by international industry. Add to that a history of radical opposition to authority (Leipzig was the center of the anti-USSR protests in 1989) and a general resentment of bankers, and well...
So this wasn't the normal white powder given to the trading floor?
All these comments and no one comes up with the obvious answer? It was Iran and now Israel will have to come to the banks rescue. This should have been a no-brainer.

Banker rule #42: Never, ever foreclose on a mental institution.
Stuck the landing.....that's a 10.
Open season on bankers. Only the upper tier though. No plug in shotguns required. No limits and no size restraints.
Duck Season, Rabbit Season, Duck Season, Rabbit Season, Duck Season, Rabbit Season,
Banker Season, Banker Season!
I always open packages by the HVAC return.
Especially ones that contain unknown powders.
pods
Dear DB staff.
As you know you and other banks have been money laundering for the drug cartels for years.
However since that arsehole Ben has been put his counterfeiting in to over drive, we will no longer be making deposits in fiat. Instead please can we exchance our produce straight from Columbia in exchange for some silver.
Regards
Pablo Escobar
PS I went to JP Morgan but their silver prices are just criminal !
Just need to aerosolize the hookers... There must be at least one DB worker here...noticing the blanket negatlve votes
I doubt that this 'powder' came from person(s) who hate bankers. It seems more probable that this 'powder' was delivered by bankers who hate.
Those pesky Iranians are up to no good.
If it is an unknown substance how do they know it is dangerous?
Well, you get in bed with the Devil, sooner or later you gotta fuck...
Probably thought it was a million dollar bonus in coke, made lines on their desk tops and started snorting it.
The wrong people were targetted. If you want to kill the beast, you need to aim for its head, in this case, the IMF, the ECB and the FED for starters. And I don't mean the minimum-wage tellers and junior financial advisors who work for these organizations.
Why do idiots harm and kill the front line bank workers. They are not to blame for this mess.
I'd like to agree with you except your claim is simply not true. Front line bankers are in part responsible for the world wide mess. They enabled their superiors to overleverage by taking deposits knowing full well that they'd be misused internally by the bank. At banks like Wells Fargo (and others), tellers are are told to upsell and convince customers to move money into investments that directly benefit the banks and help them leverage up more. Retail bankers helped the US mortgage market destabilize by overstating borrowers incomes by insane amounts. People were able to leverage up and buy MULTIPLE houses in bubble markets without even having a single source of income. Retail bankers paid peons to fraudulently sign documents, stamp fake notary stamps, sign documents with peoples names that didn't even exist, etc.
Sorry, even the peon banker has been the problem since day one.
Also: NOBODY HAS DIED THUSFAR. For all we know, it was itching powder thrown into the vents.
There was a death or deaths when that Greek bank was torched. I guess there are degrees of complicity. I doubt half the bank employees know how the system works.
My guess is that they are easier to reach. Low-hanging fruit gets picked first.
I don't think anyone here wants to see low-level nobodies harmed. However, at some point, especially when the predators-in-charge are beyond reach... even for overt and egregious crimes... what do you expect?
However, do you consider it ethical to knowingly work for criminals? Do you think it is perfectly ethical and okay to work as an accountant for the mob, transferring money to hit men to kill innocent victims? Well, everyone who works for banks is knowingly working-for and supporting the most vile, evil, craven, destructive predators the world has ever known. And therefore, even low-level workers are not entirely innocent or blameless.
By the way, why the strange terminology in the article? Why "delivered", for example? Who "delivered" what, on what premise? The wording makes clear that many important details are being left out of the reporting.
"the most vile, evil, craven, destructive predators the world has ever known."
Those words are reserved for people who work in government.
Four hundred million people killed by government in the 20th century.
And who do you think predators-DBA-government work for?
That's right, for predators-DBA-banksters.
The fact is, they are two sides of one corrupt coin, and thus the words are reserved for both of them.
BANKERS AND BATHS SALTS
Empty packets found around the ventilation intakes indicate that a bath salt branded QEternity is very likely the white powder inhaled by the bankers. Bath salts have recently been linked to permanent psychotic breaks in those who have ingested them, which means that symptoms in the bankers will be nearly impossible to discern.
'Lie down with the dogs, get up with fleas'. I am sorry for any low level employees that got hurt.
Anger and random violence are understandable. It's hard to reach the real sociopaths at the top, so you have to settle for what you can get; the teller or the mail clerk.
Notice, national governments could have addressed this by using law to go after the crooks at the top. But they didn't. They are not going to either. And so the battle will be taken wherever else it can be.
Nobody said this was going to be a clean hit against the banker class. It's going to become very ugly trench warfare, and even then the banksters might simply melt away to redoubts in the islands. But by degrees their industry is going to be first discredited, then maligned, and ultimately dismantled. If from the branches, then so be it.
When nobody shows up to work at a bank -- either because they are disgusted or because they are afraid or because they are dead -- then the banking industry will be gone and we can start the process of reconstructing the bombed out ruins that used to be democratic nations.
Should have used bath salts.
