4th Financial Services Executive Found Dead; "From Self-Inflicted Nail-Gun Wounds"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The ugly rash of financial services executive suicides appears to have spread once again. Following the jumping deaths of 2 London bankers and a former-Fed economist in the US, The Denver Post reports Richard Talley, founder and CEO of American Title, was found dead in his home from self-inflicted wounds - from a nail-gun. Talley's company was under investigation from insurance regulators.

 

Via The Denver Post,

Richard Talley, 57, and the company he founded in 2001 were under investigation by state insurance regulators at the time of his death late Tuesday, an agency spokesman confirmed Thursday.

 

It was unclear how long the investigation had been ongoing or its primary focus.

 

A coroner's spokeswoman Thursday said Talley was found in his garage by a family member who called authorities. They said Talley died from seven or eight self-inflicted wounds from a nail gun fired into his torso and head.

 

Also unclear is whether Talley's suicide was related to the investigation by the Colorado Division of Insurance, which regulates title companies.

 

...

 

 

A checkered past?

Before coming to Colorado, Talley was a former regional financial officer at Drexel Burnham Lambert in Chicago, where he met his wife, Cheryl, a vice president at the company. The two married in 1989.

 

Talley had formed a number of companies, some now defunct, according to the Colorado secretary of state's office. Among them: American Escrow, Clear Title, Clear Creek Financial Holdings, Swift Basin, Sumar, American Real Estate Services, and the American Alliance of Real Estate Professionals.

 

It would appear, unfortunately, that Mr. Talley was not an entirely honest man...

Talley's 1989 wedding announcement in the Chicago Tribune noted he was "a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic swimming team."

 

A spokeswoman for USA Swimming on Thursday said Talley was not on the team.

Ok, I've cleaned up a suicide from someone who shot themselves in the torso with a 22 rifle about 5 times, but he was high as a kite on a dozen morphine patches when he did it.

Someone using a nail gun to shoot themselves in the torso, then the head???? in the garage. WTF. I have a pretty decent tolerance for pain, but after round 2 I'd probably be screaming like a bitch. I think it would be a pretty rare occurrence to find anyone in banking with those sort of balls. I'd peg them as the take a nap in your running car with the tailpipe stuck inside. Then again, he was in Colorado, couldn't he find a mountain to jump off???

He would have had to disable all the safeties, even then, it seems pretty far out there. Still, that would take 15-20 seconds and would hurt like none other.

Must have been one of those black evil full auto assault nail guns. Joking aside, what size nails were they? Could have been a finish nailer or a brad nailer so yes they would hurt like hell but make a very little hole. Now if it was a 16p nailer that would do the job with one shot in the right place.

Yeah, totally. Thing is that if one were to do this all the exit gasses ALSO would go sailing in to the entrance wound at 100's of PSI and would, essentially, filet the inner flesh, fat and musculature. Once would put you into deep shock immediately. People who are psychotic, either mentally ill or drug induced, might be able to do this. He ain't one. Sociopath, yes. Psychotic, no.

How some ever, important to note that Real Estate transactions ARE INDEED conduits for laundering large monetary sums. HE would know names. HE had spun up multiple companies which certainly were conduits for same. Often times Investigators will start circling the fish and get confessions in exchange for bargains if they rat out their superiors. Then they tighten the circle and repeat. This guy was a weak link in the higher levels of the apparatus. Apparently, he had to be silenced. But not only that. He had to be made a very public example to others of their pending fate should they make the same mistakes as him ...

One of the specialties at American Title, in fact a big specialty, is making forged documents to be used by banks in illegal foreclosure ala Doc X, aka Lender Processing Services, Inc. Doc X forged over ONE MILLION documents. See DOJ V Lender Processing Services. So this fucking scumbag ran a company that DOES the same thing? Need a forged Note? No problem? Fake Assignment of Mortgage? Easily done. ALL of the major title companies are in on it. Yes, I know you are shocked but someone has to provide the fake documents to foreclose on "deadbeat" homeowers, right? FUCKING wrong.

They tried it with me and now they, scumbag banks, are going to substitute a new plaintiff....Nationstar Mortgage, LLC., a piece of shit company owned by...yep...a hedge fund, Fortress Investment group formally run by Mr. Mudd after he ran Fannie Mae into the ground. Hedge fund? Fuck you. Dead banker? Not enough of them for my taste. 

Living in my house for taxes, insurance and mainteance for over two years and no trail...gee wonder why? Good luck to the new plaintiff...they will be shown to lying fucking scumbags. I do use different language for the judge, don't worry. 

I hope his family suffers too as they can taste what his company has done to thouands and thousands.

Guys, this is murder. Someone so stressed or depressed to commit suicide is unlikely to start with self-torture. Putting a nail gun to your head an pulling the trigger is simple and easy. I am surprised they printed this information.

Does your average bankers or finance executive even have the upper body strength to lift and use a nail gun, or even the technical know-how to opperate one?

My guess is, no, not many do.

Or maybe Mr. Talley always wanted to be a working stiff, but found himself to instead be not only completely useless to society, but also a parasite and drain upon society; and with age creeping up on him found it too late to switch career tracks.

When you can either get the following list destitute enough, (or with assistance like Mr. Talley had) with pangs of guilt for all the harm they have caused the world with their financial misdeeds all of the "ZH" community needs to have a party to celebrate.  Tyler will select the city of choice.

Seriously?  Is anybody really expected to buy this story?  What's the next banker "suicide" going to be?  That some banker chewed himself to death one bite at a time?

It's like the assassins aren't even trying to make these killings look plausible and they've only killed 4 so far!!!  Fuck, they've got like 250,000 more bankers to kill off...they can't be running out of suicide stories already!

I can just see some other "suicides" in the next few days ahead:

- fed own body through a wood chipper after freezing self solid in meat locker

- backed over own head with his own Porsche Cayenne

- tied self up with hands behind back then ate a 12 gauge shotgun blast

I mean, what the fuck???  Maybe we need to help these killers out with a "suicide" story contest so that they've got some ideas to work with.

What's even more amazing, is that the dumbed down sheeple will go..  "Oh, that's so sad he killed himself with 8 gun nails to his head and torso"  without even thinking about the implausibility of it.

NO FRIGGIN way this could ever happen by suicide, period.  What is wrong with people?

It's not that implausible. Nailgun accidents are common, and the things come with full-auto modes. Here's a poor bastard who accidentally fired six nails into his head (and then miraculously survived). That was a professional construction worker too, not a retired banker messing around with DIY and power tools.

Lookiing at the picture I notice all those nail went in through the back of his head. suspects someone gave him up for dead or just gave up.

akarc: True story that was on the news a few years back (sorry, no link, too lazy). A site foreman got a nail shot to the skull that didn't affect him much. As he was driving himself to the hospital he was pulled over for speeding but despite telling the cop what happened and showing him the injury the idiot cop took the time to write him a ticket before sending him on his way.

This happened in Victoria, BC (just north in Sydney, BC)

This case is as plain as it gets... however, for the sake of argument I do recall a news piece about a construction worker who accidentally cut off his hand with a mechanical saw and to numb the pain fired a few shots into his head with a pneumatic nail gun.

The main difference is that I actually felt sorry for that guy.

Any fatality of this nature would have to be rulled as a suspicious death and would have further investigation. The fact it appears to be quickly labeled a suicide seems to require political or other  pressure, or unreasonably low police death investigation skills.  These strange banker deaths seem to have little in common except that they are strange in their exicution. Remember the banker jumping over the fence and falling down a ravine suicide?

Title insurance is a classic white-shoe, low pressure, high profit racket, I can't imagine what the problem was. Gotta feel sorry for his family who understands nothing but a huge hole in their hearts now. Lesson here is never apply a long term solution toa short term problem, if it was a suicide.

Do you realize how badly you would have to want to die, and the kind of determination you would have to have to shoot yourslef repeatedly with a nailgun?  That shit hurts bad.  I don't think a human being could actually do that more than two times before trying something else.  Even if you wnated to die, as human being, you could not do that.

How much force? Well those things are adjustible but it takes two or three full force 16oz hammer swings, each enough to fracture a skull, to sink even an 8 penny nail in a new spruce--a nail gun does it in one pull of the trigger.  Of course if we're talking about 16d nails in the gun, that much more.  Very nasty.

I've worked with nail guns, you have to press the gun against the skin hard to fire it but before that you have to hook it into a compressor and let the compressor fill for a few minutes, quite a ritual, and after 4-5 nails the compressor has to refill again.

Some nail guns use .22 cardriges to propel the nails. They can be fired more rapidly.

I thought the .22 nail 'guns' were single shot. The ones I've used require a hammer to strike the firing pin which, if placed against either head or chest, would drive the entire device into the banker.

I'm not familiar with any models that require a hammer to 'do the deed'-- the ones that I've used had a self-contained striker mechanism.

But... that being said, the fastest I have personally been able to operate powder-actuated nail guns is at a rate of about 3-4 shots per minute.

The idea of even a highly skilled and experienced contractor committing suicide via 7-8 shots with such a device truly boggles the mind... that such an act is supposedly attributed to a damp-handed bankster....well, let's just say my bullshit meter just blew a fuse.
