Man Jumps To His Death From JPMorgan London Headquarters

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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?

I won't be satisfied until I see Goldman and Morgan bankers on streetcorners roasting rats on sticks over fires in rusty 55 gallon oil drums.

That was a visit to CitiGroup - London

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/15/us-banks-deutsche-idUSBREA0E0J...

 

The presence of Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency officials at Citi's Canary Wharf office in the east of London this week comes after Citi last week fired its head of European spot foreign exchange trading, Rohan Ramchandani, following a prolonged period on leave, one source familiar with the matter said.

If only Jamie and Lloyd could take the trip to London and make it "symbolic"!

Someone needs to include AG Holder on that journey as well.

HANS [thick accent]: You Americans. You think your fiat Ponzi schemes will save your yankee asses on these monster whale trades?

In one swift movement, Dimon takes a Baretta from it's hiding place under his dingleberries and blows a round through Han's chest.

DIMON: You were right about us Americans. A few billion is nothing but a 'tempest in a teapot' for us derivatives cowboys.

Hans staggers back against the blood-spattered railing. The glass has shattered with the force of the bullet. He reaches out with his last reserve of strength and grabs Dimon's hooded avenger! Hans now is halfway out of the window, jagged cuts across his face, straining to maintain a grip on Jamie's cock due to the terrible force of gravity. Jamie desperately grabs a rail to prevent his compltely slipping over the edge.

The death grip on Jamie's strained and purple wang is beginning to slip, but through blood-flecked teeth, Hans is trying to raise a gun with his free hand! Suddenly, like a rapidly jerking hand flying off an overly-moistened knob, Hans' grip on Jamie's elongated schlong comes free.

Hans has a terrified look as he begins taking the one way express elevator from 33 floor to meet Flat Stanley on Level 9. We watch a long swan dive with Hans screaming 'MOAR!' the entire way, until he makes a thud like a sack of wet oatmeal.

How about some of the Fed heads? The US federal Reserve caused this mess. They enabled it.

Greenspan?

Fed heads you can borrow JPM's headquarters. It's taller than the Federal Reserve bankster headquarters.

it is a gay thing and a banker thing living a life of lies.

 

tony blair works in that location it could be him?

let us all pray to god the real one not blairs satanic master.

While researching Blair's early Parliamentary career, The Slog (or Not Born Yesterday as it then was) received the following email content:

 

'He was caught importuning in a Westminster toilet. It was all covered up.'

'In the autumn of 1983, a young well-dressed man presented himself to Bow St Magistrates' Court on a morals charge. He was given a conditional discharge and bound over to keep the peace. The young man gave his name as Charles Lynton. He is now among the highest in the land.'

Hmmmm.  his name was Gabriel Magee , Vice President at JPMorgan...linkedin states that he was an Technical architecture oversight for planning, development, and operation of systems for fixed income securities and interest rate derivatives.
So he was over the technology that runs this?  Interesting.
