Third Banker, Former Fed Member, "Found Dead" Inside A Week
If the stock market were already crashing then it would be simple to blame the dismally sad rash of dead bankers in the last week on that - certainly that was reflected in 1929. However, for the third time in the last week, a senior financial executive has died in what appears to be a suicide. As Bloomberg reports, following the deaths of a JPMorgan senior manager (Tuesday) and a Deutsche Bank executive (Sunday), Russell Investments' Chief Economist (and former Fed economist) Mike Dueker was found dead at the side of a highway in Washington State. Police said the death appeared to be a suicide.
Mike Dueker, the chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. He was 50.
He may have jumped over a 4-foot (1.2-meter) fence before falling down a 40- to 50-foot embankment, Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer said yesterday. He said the death appeared to be a suicide.
Dueker was reported missing on Jan. 29, and a group of friends had been searching for him along with law enforcement. Troyer said Dueker was having problems at work, without elaborating.
Dueker was in good standing at Russell, said Jennifer Tice, a company spokeswoman. She declined to comment on Troyer’s statement about Dueker’s work issues.
But as Michael Snyder noted recently, if the stock market was already crashing, it would be easy to blame the suicides on that. The world certainly remembers what happened during the crash of 1929...
Historically, bankers have been stereotyped as the most likely to commit suicide. This has a lot to do with the famous 1929 stock market crash, which resulted in 1,616 banks failing and more than 20,000 businesses going bankrupt.
The number of bankers committing suicide directly after the crash is thought to have been only around 20, with another 100 people connected to the financial industry dying at their own hand within the year.
Dueker had also been a research economist at the St. Louis Fed:
He published dozens of research papers over the past two decades, many on monetary policy, according to the St. Louis Fed’s website, which ranks him among the top 5 percent of economists by number of works published. His most-cited work was a 1997 paper titled “Strengthening the case for the yield curve as a predictor of U.S. recessions,” published by the reserve bank while he was a researcher there.
So, with stocks a mere 4% off their highs, are so many high ranking and well respected bankers committing suicide?

If a Clinton smiles and says they want to take you out, run like crazy.
Hoping Jamie and Lloyd will "join the party" soon.
Like they say, "good things come in threes"
I'm greedy, I'd like to see a couple dozen.
The scary part is, what if these three fucks are canaries in the coal vault?
"Why are so many high ranking and well respected bankers committing suicide?"
Maybe because somebody has to take the lead. Politicians next, one hopes, followed closely by high-ranking spooks.
Some music to go with the sentiment.
Yesterday we got a dead cat bounce. Today we should coin a new phrase, Dead Banker Dip.
Three steps and a stumble.
Bring back the old way of policing, you know, where they assume it is a homicide unless there is a lot of evidence that shows otherwise?
It is very sad and unfortunate whenver anyone, even a banker, chooses this particular exit strategy.
Why do you assume it was his choice? There are no coincidences after the number two...
Oh, man. Let me read what I wrote once more. Nope. I didn't assume or suggest anything.
All I said was this form of exit strategy is "sad." And it is. This particular case, however, needs further investigation.
Even a scumbag banker knows rolling down a forty foot embankment in Tacoma will only get him cold, wet and muddy.
But we all know the case is closed.
So many very good posts have been made about this banker's questionable suicide. No honest person on earth will miss this guy, not even his family. The traits he had at work, were the traits he had at home. His family is probably glad to see the backside of him. We need to call the scum what they are, fucking scum. He lived off of Bernanke's Central Bank support, trading in a real free market, this man would have ended up as just another homeless bum on the streets of New York. Don't lose sleep over these people. They are the enemies of real free market capitalism, the kind where productive people prosper, bankers are fucking leeches.
I also believe the families of these people to be questionable folks as well. How can you let someone work in that kind of industry and delude yourself into thinking they go to work every day to do an honest job?
The houses their wives and children dwell in, the food they eat, the cars they drive, the vacations they enjoy......all brought about by labor they did not perform, food they did not grow, houses they did not build, vinyards they did not plant, wells they had no hand in digging.
It is all fraudulent and they all know it. Theft is not production. I have zero sympathy. Having said that, those who "suicided" this man are an even worse crowd, and those who ordered the hit, greater still.
Frankly alot of times the family are clueless as like with the Mafia they most try not to bring their work home and keep their kids isolated from it. The wives on the other hand if they do figure it out they don't leave in most cases and if they do they sure as hell are happy to keep being paid in alimony that ill gotten money afterwards, for the children. Guilotine the wives also, sterlize the children but let them live. Sterilizing their children effectively ends the bloodlines without bloodshed.
He wasn't a team player in orchestrating a global emerging market under the few decision makers. Had to be taken out like a dog. Don’t know the man, my condolences to the family.
having hunted in the mountains I don't see jumping down a 5 story tall steep hillside as a sure thing to death. Life as a paraplegic maybe. I just don't see it. And someone said in an earlier post that suicide could be honorable to get life insurance to a destitute family? Huh? Taking your own life honorable? Yikes. I say never be worth more dead than alive. The wifes nickname is Wolverine and I already sleep with one eye open. I can't incentivize my death if we ever have a spat. Jumping down a hill from a bridge? Don't buy it. Like the London banker from 33 floors down to 11 on a flat landing area? Yup that is a committed jumper.
Insurance is void with death by suicide.
Only if the policy is less than two years old.
Infighting has the effect of weakening the group. I say better the parasite class than the working class.
Has it started?
Have a exit plan?

Apparently pigs still can't fly...
Well at least now we know Corzine is safe ....http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/116570-man-washes-up-in-marshall-isla...
His first words were: "What is the price of gold"
What an amazing story
Just remember with each death...the unemployment rate goes down!
Progress at last?
This has happened before. After 9/11, it was noticed that 11 microbiologists had met "untimely" deaths. Was this coincidence, statistical clumping?
When the Miami Police first found Benito Que, he was slumped on a desolate side street, near the empty spot where he had habitually parked his Ford Explorer. At about the same time, Don C. Wiley mysteriously disappeared. His car, a white rented Mitsubishi Galant, was abandoned on a bridge outside of Memphis, where he had just had a jovial dinner with friends. The following week, Vladimir Pasechnik collapsed in London, apparently of a stroke.
The list would grow to nearly a dozen in the space of four nerve-jangling months. Stabbed in Leesburg, Va. Suffocated in an air-locked lab in Geelong, Australia. Found wedged under a chair, naked from the waist down, in a blood-splattered apartment in Norwich, England. Hit by a car while jogging. Killed in a private plane crash. Shot dead while a pizza delivery man served as a decoy.
What joined these men was their proximity to the world of bioterror and germ warfare. Que, the one who was car-jacked, was a researcher at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Wiley, the most famous, knew as much as anyone about how the immune system responds to attacks from viruses like Ebola. Pasechnik was Russian, and before he defected, he helped the Soviets transform cruise missiles into biological weapons. The chain of deaths -- these three men and eight others like them -- began last fall...

A man I've known for 20 years and a very close friend hung himself on tuesday of this week. I have been in a pretty bad mood and didn't want to read this article because of it. But I'm glad I did. YOU FUCKERS ARE HILARIOUS. I thought this was going to make me cry, and it has. Olny because I've been laughing so hard. Thanks ZH you guys rock!
Sorry to hear about that. Suicide is not cool at all. I've known a few people attempt it and one followed through. It's real sad.
Yes it is terrible, but if you MUST go, take some of the Satanic Tribe with you!
Yes! I wish these Mall shooters would stop shooting bystanders. Go to the banking board room and spray the governing board, shove in another clip and do it again. If you survive, there's a good chance, with the right lawyer, that the jury will nullify your actions!
Sorry about your friend. I had one that killed himself 20 years ago, and we couldn't believe it. He was young, happy-go-lucky, not sick or in debt (that we knew, anyway). It does leave you wondering...
2nd suicide in 8 years I've had to deal with. It is hazardous to be my friend apparently. But I do thank you for you kind words.
Just by chance, does the 427 in your name represent a Ford 427??
Not sure which is more worriesome that someone sucided 3 bankers or 3 bankers did them selfs in due to ummmm well yikes.
This Fuck-Wad must have had a Guilty Concious? I love Dead Banksters!!! Now we need dead Bought-off Politicians!!!
Then there'd be no politicians left!! That is, try and find one that isn't corrupt -- they may go into it with good intentions, but none come out without having succumbed to corruption...
WORLD OF DEBT!!! See Below:

4 guys who knew "too much" about "something".
The only good banker is a dead banker
Especially the kosher ones!
A banker mafia hit as far as I know. But John Corzine could sign a confession and still not be prosecuted.
Is there any better reason to wish for a market crash??

THEY SHOULD COMMIT MASS SUICIDE. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE BANKSTERS.

January 31, 2014 at 7:24 pm'Sick Kids Denied Specialty Care Due to Obamacare in Washington' (the State)
"Administrators at Seattle Children's today said they predicted this would happen, and it's even worse than they expected," says the local news anchor. "Patients being denied specialty treatment at the hospital by insurance providers on the Washington health benefits exchange. Children's filed request on behalf of 125 of their patients. Of those, they say they got only 20 responses, eight of which were denials. Dr. Sandy Melzer says all this comes after reassurances of certain unique specialty cases would still be covered."
Dr. Sandy Melzer says, "Well, some of the patients who were denied are ones who clearly would fall into that unique category. A two-year-old with new significant neck mass that was being evaluated for infection or malignancy, an older child with a chronic severe medical condition requiring multidisciplinary care here, a baby that had a skull abnormality."

Pay very close attention to the symptoms in the children who the insurers are refusing to pay for – radiation exposure symptoms.
Here it comes, fast and hard. Kill the kids first.
"Heinrich, even the young and ill or weak must be liquidated. National Socialism and the Reich depend on it."
"Refuse them care, mein Fuhrer?"
"Nein. We National Socialists are not barbarians to our own kind, only the Slav untermenschen. Give them a quiet lethal injection."
"Sieg Heil, mein Fuhrer."
"National Health Care was the first item of National Socialism, Heinrich. It gives us Control."
The NSA can make anything look like a suicide.
Hey do those Bloomberg terminals have a distinct dot-color for this?
Hey don't forget the Taliban got one from their side a couple weeks back.
Rollin rollin rollin keep them banksters moving
Head em up roll em in.
Move em in ride em out.
Oops there goes another water bug.
Dude do you think this is going to continue. That this is just the beginning.
Hope and change M'Fers.
Only three? I guess it's a start.
Signs & symbols are for the conscious mind!!!
Something is definately up! No one kills themselves with his credentials unless he knows what is going on!
Russel moved their offices from Seattle to Tacoma couple years ago.
Probably the I5 commute or having to work in that white trash ghetto made him top himself.
However 'plunging' down a 40 foot embankment (and I know that stretch) is not how he died.
More money printing is required to stop these suicides. After all, no banker ever suicided in Zimbabwe.
what do you call a bus full of banksters going over a cliff with an empty seat?
A tragedy.
What do you a thousand bankers at the bottom of the sea?
A good start.
Opportunity cost
99% success
a counting error
glass half empty
not nearly full enough
I was reading about this guy in the local biz journals.
Doesn't seem right - Type A personality, athletic guy, family man. A guy like this doesn't pitch himself 40+ and risk being a para for the rest of his days.
Said he was going jogging than changed into street clothes (to meet somebody?)
Verrrrry interr.....resting as they used to say on Laugh In.
dead men tell no tales. Military has been working on ways to off people with no trace for 60+ years, so suicide?...........maybe........
Breitbart and Hastings come to mind.
Do bad bankers float like witches so they can be burned while the good ones just sink? Good times!
Tie a 100 kg stone around their necks and toss them into a river. If they float then they are witches. If they drown then they are not.
You don't have to wear tinfoil to think this was in fact murder. I described it to a couple of people who never believe in conspiracies, and they both thought it was the most implausible "suicide" case they had ever heard of. I'm sure they wouldn't come up with any ZH-style theories re who was guilty, but they sure as hell didn't think it was suicide.
Markets are crumbling. Banksters are dying. And the gold is running out. Something wicked this way comes.
So, we're back to suicide? I guess a plane flying into the side of a mountain for no reason is a bit obvious.
My heart-of-gold empathic nature is yearning to know what I can do the encourage more of them to relieve themselves of their anguish and suffering.
934 banksters on the wall...934 banksters on the wall...watch one fall...all the way down...933 banksters left on the wall....933 banksters on the wall...933 banksters on the wall...
Wake me up when one of these poor gents straps on an explosive vest, walks into the executive suite and ...
All former Fed members and now BB is a "former" member. Hmmmmm...
This is the consequence of earning the most while producing the least.
How much is not the issue.. "HOW" is the issue. If I'm intelligent enough to make a lot of money with the least amount of effort and NO ONE gets screwed over, I'm sure you wouldn't give a shit. If, however, I made a metric shit tonne of cashola and I did it by destroying peoples' lives, then I think you would be in the right coming at me with pitch forks and napalm.
Where do we send the flowers?
one less bankster - no biggie.
I've never seen a story bumped so many times in a day to the top of the list. Fearmonger/conspiracy theory much?
Where are they burying him so I can send a bottle of piss..
tyler, whyncha fix your fucking indent problem so we can read replies?
Today you just read that a man was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise...
The percentage you are paying is too high priced while you are living beyond all your means and the man in the suit has just bought a new car on the profit he made on your dreams...
But today you just read that the man was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise...

And right on the heels of Davos. We never get the real story of what happens at DAVOS except what they want the public to hear and see. The real jusice happens behind the curtains. Some of these guys may be figuring it out that the alternative media was right all along about the Elites they have been representing. Russell Investments uses DELL Data Center to store there data, as does the U.S. Government, in particular the FBI, although there are other Govt agencies storing data at DELL also.
It's getting really hard to separate what is government and what is corporation these days, they've melded so much. These Jumpers and Hangers are people who have bought into the system so much, they can't separate themselves from it when their reality gets shaken and truth begins to shine in. They'd rather die than accept the truth. No surprises here.
