Another JPMorgan Banker Dies, 37 Year Old Executive Director Of Program Trading
Ordinarily we would ignore the news of another banker's death - after all these sad events happen all the time - if it wasn't for several contextual aspects of this most recent passage. First, the death in question, as reported by the Stamford Daily Voice is that of Ryan Henry Crane, a Harvard graduate, who is survived by his wife, son and parents at the very young age of 37. Second, Ryan Henry Crane was formerly employed by JPMorgan - a bank which was featured prominently in the news as recently as two weeks ago when another of its London-based employees committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of its Canary Wharf building. Third: Crane was an Executive Director in JPM's Global Program Trading desk, founded in 1999 by an ex-DE Shaw'er, a function of the firm which is instrumental to preserving JPM's impeccable and (so far in 2013) flawless trading record of zero trading losses.
There was little detail surrounding the death:
Ryan Henry Crane of Stamford died Monday, Feb. 3. He was 37.
Crane was born Jan. 8, 1977, and grew up in Long Valley, N.J. He graduated from The Delbarton School in Morristown in 1995. He graduated from Harvard University in 1999, after which he spent the next 14 years at J.P. Morgan in New York. He was an executive director in the Global Equities Group.
Crane is survived by his wife, Lauren (nee Pizzotti); son, Harry; parents Mary Jo and Lex of Long Valley, N.J.; brother, Lex of Denver, Colo.; sister, Allison; brother-in-law, John Archard of Arvada, Colo.; parents-in-law, Steve and Carol Pizzotti of Reading, Mass.; brothers- and sisters-in-law, David and Heather Pizzotti of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Stephen and Kristin Pizzotti and Chris and Felicia Pizzotti of Reading, Mass.; five nephews, three nieces; aunts, uncles; and cousins.
Calling hours are Sunday, Feb. 9 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Leo P. Gallagher Funeral Home, 31 Arch St., Greenwich. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 10 at St. Catherine of Siena Church, Riverside. Interment will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 at Puritan Lawn Memorial Park in Peabody, Mass.
Crane's LinkedIn profile confirming his senior position at one of JPM's most important market-facing verticals:
Below is his Finra BrokerCheck profile. Aside from having a license to trade virtually anything and anywhere as someone with his skillset would be expected to, his history was spotless:
The circumstances surrounding his death are scarce, but what is most notable is that not only is Crane the second very young JPMorgan banker to pass in recent days, but is also the fourth banker death in under a month. We can only hope this disturbing chain of deaths within the financial industry - one of which involved a nail-gun induced suicide - is purely accidental.

These individuals probably didn't even see it coming. They may not have even been planning on stepping forward.
Why are you posting dog shit here when you should be on the phone with Mt gox pleading for an easy out?

"We can only hope this disturbing chain of deaths within the financial industry - one of which involved a nail-gun induced suicide - is purely accidental."
What??!!
Maybe I'm a callous asshole.... but I hope these accidents pick up speed. For the sake of our species as a whole.
I heard of this dark web site called "Assassination Marketplace". I wonder if that has anything to do with this.
If so then this shows a very unique utility for bitcoin.
As I mentioned below, these deaths do us no good, as these people represent the evidence needed to prove the criminality at the top of the bankster chain.
Now, do you really think that destruction of evidence is going to improve the world one little bit?
lack of proof has zero to do with it
It's who you leak to that counts.
Good point.
None the less they are complicit. I have a hard time believing theyre the "good guys".
"I'm just doing my job" is no excuse for a lack of conscience.
Can this spread over to Goldman please??????? The this country might be headed in the right direction.
It would need to spread to most major buildings within the DC beltway and then into many office buildings on major universities and then throughout all the major media headquarters...
I've no doubt that they were complicit. You don't work your way into these jobs by being stupid. What I'm proposing is that they are NOT responsible for the firm's decisions, but merely their execution.
Thing is, when you get a new job, you start out innocent, then slowly learn how shit really works. Eventually you realize the rot is systemic, and there is no other option (thanks to the CBs undermining the financial system). So... what do you do?
A) Abandon your current life of physical comfort, or
B) STFU and GBTW (and self-medicate)?
Any conscience they have is trumped by the need to retain their salary.
What is more likely: That some shadowy individual or group is now killing off low-level banksters as some kind of revenge plot, or that the oligarchs are typing up loose ends by doing away with potential whistleblowers?
Asshole or not, I agree. And I have a correction to the article:
........."after all these sad events happen all the time".......there's nothing sad about the demise of Bankers, Lawyers, or Politicians in this day & age........
A child losing their father is pretty sad. Kids need dads, even dads who work in a den of thieves may have some redeeming qualities.
I guess he won't be nominated to fill the CFTC advisory position in place of Blythe Masters now.
Hmmm . . . ZH. Very thin story.
No details on the cause of death at all . . . . yet mention of suicides by other JPM bankers ?
People die every day, even relatively young men.
Tell us when you get some details that matter.
The most common cause of death among males aged 35-44 in the United States is suicide, so I don't think it's that huge a leap...
http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender
"I don't think it's that huge a leap..."
Yeah, it could be a nail gun, an embankment,...
Well, actually you're wrong even assuming the data in that link is current & correct.
Using that data the odds that something other than suicide was the cause of death is better than 85%.
Even though it lists suicide as the number one cause of death in that age group, its only about 15% of the total deaths for that age group.
So actually, you helped make my point.
Given that we have No information, the odds are that he didn't die from suicide.
P.S. - thanks for posting the link. Very interesting info and nicely formatted.
The J's at gs are on a killing spree because too many people have dirt on them.
Another non-tribe member dies.
tis odd they've all been gentile names.
a most peculiar thing indeed.
and i don't think we're the only one's taking note of that oddity.

Yes, it's like when Cantor got tipped off and stayed home from work that fateful day, but poor old Fitzgerald never got the word and was burned alive or crushed in the falling tower.
Vinny Forlano: He won't talk. Stone is a good kid. Stand-up guy, just like his old man. That's the way I see it.
Vincent Borelli: I agree. He's solid. A fuckin' Marine.
Americo Capelli: He's okay. He always was. Remo, what do you think?
Remo Gaggi: Look... why take a chance? At least, that's the way I feel about it.
This is very similar to the incidents that took place several years ago when a group of mean-spirited Republicans purposely set fire to black churches across the south.
Herodotus, seems to be a new crop here, better use the /sarc tag...
What was the cause of death, the article doesn't say. Another sucide blunt force trauma type?
Do you miss the nail gun explanation?
What was the cause of death I can't tell by ready the article. Was it sucide by blunt force trauma?

"Three people can keep a secret as long as two of them are DEAD."
Looks like some wet work team is in a major hurry for some reason. This is getting crazy.
This is where extraordinary talent and brilliance goes in this day & age. To shaving thousandths of a penny off a million trades a day? What a waste of brain matter ...
Rest in peace - if innocent.
RIP and may those responsible be brought to justice!
Justice? Your god doesn't live here. If you want to hope for something, hope this is the start of a purge.
Thing is, these are likely low-level operatives that are being purged to protect their bosses from scrutiny.
Human firewalls.
Touche'.
Good start me thinks!
Oh no!
Why just one
Oh shit, they're killing quants now.
Jamie must be very very very very very very very DIRTEEEE..............
It's an epidemic!
Apparently it only affects “wealthy” high lvl bankers.
Guess i missed that bullet
Or nail gun
Or rope,
Or bridge
or the top of JPM building in london
Correction, it wasn't a bridge. It was a 50' embankment.
Honestly, at least two of these deaths were the result of "suicide" pathways I would have never considered. I'd have to be strung out on some heavy duty shit to shoot myself 7-8 times with a nail gun. And throwing myself down a 50' embankment means I've gone full retard.
I think a message is being sent, especially with the nail gun bullshit. You have to fire up a compressor to use the nail gun, so it isn't what anyone would consider quiet. Then the multiple shots to wherever sure smacks of torture.
The message is spread over 10 time zones by the 'Rotchild-Morgan illuminati' that they can nail you anywhere on earth with impunity if you might go Snowden on them.
Dead men tell no tales.
Dead men with no insurance policies tell no tales.
Anyone employed by a large bank or industrial concern with even half a brain has an insurance policy.
Anyone of those who would actually consider biting the hand that feeds them, would have a hell of lot more than just an insurance policy.
Which is why I don't buy the "being mass suicided" line.
You may have unintentionally hit upon a motive for this method of death for possible bad actor perpetrators. It may help narrow down the list of suspects.
Whoever is doing this probably doesn't want the insurance company to pay out.
That would be unintentional, since I was thinking of all those one-touch backup USB hard disks that are often connected to banking executives laptops when they're working from home or on the road (or the CYA memorandum that implicated the BoE when it was decided that a certain currency trader was now acceptable collateral damage by TPTB).
Lanny Breuer and the human lawn jockey AG weren't being completely honest in their excuses for not prosecuting TBTF/TBTPs...
Pan Am insurance company tried hard to prove Pan Am 103 bombing was not Pan Am's security fault, by linking it to the Government approved insider DIA and DEA drug smuggling out of Lebanon.
Government won the coverup battle. Insurance company lost.
Insurance company for TWA 800 failed in attempt to blame missile attack, coverup by US Government.
Where have all the bankers gone, long time passing?
Corzine Island?
When is it Janet Yellen's turn?
I'll settle for Geithner, Paulson, Greenspan, Bernanke, Rubin! One or all in no particular order ,unfortunately these individuals are way too sociopathic to take the decent way out!
Spontaneous combustion?
Bankers are going like 70's rock drummers. Twenty bucks says the next to go chokes on his own vomit in his sleep after a long night of champagne and oysters.
Whose vomit?
You can't really dust for vomit.

We've definitely got to start a bankers Dead Pool here at Z/H... This is just too good of an opportunity to pass up!
Is there a good algo out there to scour the list of Head Banksters?
well, let's see, the doj, sec, fbi, cftc, ferc, all "play ball" so none of them will ever be "hot tubbed".
The more telling list would be the ones that survive.
Man, 2014 is a rough year for banksters. Join the party, us regular folks have been having a rough go of it for 6 years. It's about time you joined us.
bully for state schools!

Is this actually an unusual rate, or have we just not looked at the data before?
i'd say it's definitely an unusual rate. I mean no one in financial services has ever died up until last year. Now we get one every so often. None of them actually in any real position of power. But "Banker death" is sure to drum up the page hits.
Only in death do we have a name. His name is Ryan Crane.
WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A HIT LIST! POTENTIAL "WHISTLEBLOWERS' ARE BEING OFF'D. THE BANKING CARTEL IS BEING PROACTIVE HERE.
MAFIA TACTICS, FOR A MAFIA CARTEL!
Right. The weak links and whistleblowers are being systematically eliminated. Chip Tatum recently gave an illuminating interview about his past activities in this field.
Where is their insurance policy? Hunting season on these people has a limited time window. Once others realize they might be on a list, they will be taking precautions if they slip down the stairs.
The smart ones started taking precautions after death #3
The REALLY smart ones have had precautions in place all along. The trick is avoiding any financial system link between them and the lawyers / agents tasked with the information release in case of death.
This is merely and coincidence and is in now way related to the corruption going on in the banking sector. Move along citizen and enjoy the Olympics. Remember....GO TEAM U.S.S.A!!!!!
Gettin closer to Dimon -Hopefully!
When that happens dinner at Pete Lugars or Sparks on the "house" for everyone at "ZH".
slipped off a building, fell into a car that exploded from which he was ejected and bounced over a 1.6 meter railing, down a 50-60 foot embankment while shooting himself accidently with 8 air nails
shit happens
Must be because of the bad weather. Winter blues and so on.
But what really frightens me, is the sheeple do not question it...
Can I haz moar?
I just can't help but think "Goodfellas".
Banking yo. Shit is gangsta.
What was the cause of death?
Five shots by a nail gun to the back of the head.
five self inflicted shots by a nail gun to the back of the head.
there, fixed it for ya.
...so suicide. ok.
Knowledge...
I'm going by the spot where the guy jumped the rail and fell down the embankment today. Going to stop and take pics', who (how) can I send them to here who can post them. Send me info.
Just upload the photo somewhere and post the link here.
Ok, it's not an embankment its a 40/50 ft. Drop. Still in my rig so can't post pics' yet but there's a traffic cam of the spot. Go to the link and the picture shows the fence he jumped and the wall. Found police tape tied to the fence(also came across the bridge that day and saw the popo there).Fence goes from 4ft to 5 back to 4. Also the only llace to park is 1/2 mile at the war memorial, so he either parked on the shoulder or wakled from the park. The spot where he most likely jumped is about 2/3rds down the walk. Houses on the other side. Only other place to jump and die is off the bridge....traffic cam photo.....http://www.wsdot.com/traffic/tacoma/default.aspx?cam=1158
In Borat voice: "Great success!!"
Hope Mr. Crane left a kill switch insurance policy. How smart are these guys if they don't? At least as far back as Roberto Calvi, not one insurance policy. You're making it too easy, paper tigers.
Dropping like flies in a Trimz DDT wall papered room. Those were the good old days!
* Link opens in new window.
Maybe unusual, but hard to connect each dots to make any conspiracy theory, is there anything I am missing? what was the cause of his death this time?
Unexpectedly - at home. Who found him?
Hopefully he was an informant on an insider trading probe at JPM. How else is it possible to never have a losing day? The DOW drops 200 points and they still make money.
Sing like a Canary (Wharf).

"To be or not to be, that is the question". "Not to be" then it is.
Blessed Oblivion: No bosses, clients, wife or bratty kids to please, and no deity's ass to kiss for all eternity.

You are hoping for that perhaps. But the Odds of that happening is almost an Infinitesimal The odds that Deity exists are overwhelming.
Then you get an Eternity to regret your rejection.
Here is a quote from one of my favorite Physicists, Roger Penrose.
This now tells how precise the Creator's aim must have been, namely to an accuracy of one part in 1010123. This is an extraordinary figure. One could not possibly even write the number down in full in the ordinary denary notation: it would be 1 followed by 10123 successive 0's. Even if we were to write a 0 on each separate proton and on each separate neutron in the entire universe- and we could throw in all the other particles for good measure- we should fall far short of writing down the figure needed.
Roger Penrose, The Emperor's New Mind, 1989; Michael Denton, Nature's Destiny, The New York: The Free Press, 1998, p. 9
In practical terms, in mathematics, a probability of 1 in 1050 means "zero probability". In Engineering it is termed an ABSURDITY.
Penrose's number is more than trillion trillion trillion times less than that. In short, Penrose's number tells us that the 'accidental" or "coincidental" creation of our universe is an impossibility.
Now you can wager on infinitesimals or the absurd if you desire. Of course the stakes of the wager, your life, is pretty extreme. That is an IRRATIONAL choice. But you are free to make it if you so choose.
Do you know where the number 10123 comes from? Have you ever studied the Physical Universal Constants?
The Existence of the Universe is my Empirical Evidence.
Infinity is an abomination to a Physicist. There is no Empirical Evidence for that. You can speculate about a Multiverse. But then how did that originate?
Hell if I knew that there was not a God then I would have checked out a long time ago. There is just too much Pain and Misery here. It will become a lot worse...before it gets even worse. (And I am advantaged and EXPERIENCE that. Then I wonder just how much more the disadvantaged are suffering.)
Why do the facts about this upset you so?
Good start the past few weeks - but not enough momentum yet
another in LONDON, must be easy to do there ... remember the Phone-Hacking scandal with Ruppert Murdoch's outfit?, you're not supposed to remember it, but there was also a bunch of suspicious "Suicides" before it all got swept under the rug
Eurpoean History.... fuck and I thought math was important.
Hoots of derision should be reserved until they tell his cause of death. He might have had a congenital heart defect or something. If he didn't it would mean he might have been a potential whistleblower, and a friend to muppets everywhere. Again, hoots of derision would be inappropriate but understandable.
If they are not careful, banker suicide will soon top that of Dentists which has been the benchmark for professional suicide for decades.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action." Ian Fleming
And 5 times is a death squad...
Death squads, you say? Just "doing God's work". Someone needs to do his dirty work, no doubt.
If these people are being murdered, it's probably for a pretty big reason. Who is more dangerous, the killers or the killed? Do you really think they're going to stop once their naughty list of bankers is exhausted? Who's next? Suicided and swept under the rug, no questions... Do you think that's in the public's best interest, or the interest of those doing the killing?
Things are getting very dangerous. Make no mistake.
You have to take out enough innocents to obscure the true mission objective.

Coroner's report states he fell down the stairs 3 times.
Reminds me of the Chicago PD joke.

"None, he fell."

Their literally falling out of the sky! :D
At what point do all these bankers realize that making a viral recording of what they actually know about who, may be the only thing that makes their untimely death irrellevant?
Exactly. If I were working in so much as a mail room at JP morgue, I'd wrap up a nice little insurance policy. But to anyone interested, just because I don't work in banking, doesn't mean I don't have one.
shot trying to escape? bolt of lightning? hang himself in his jail cell?
I think his tie probably got stuck in the elevator. Tragic accident.
he fell asleep in his garage with his car running...
for 9,10,12, 24...whatever hrs.
and nobody came out to check on him or why there was a car running in the garage.
sad really.
The trend is your friend.
Hey Lloyd and Jamie! Monkey see monkey do? How bout it?
I wonder if Jamie has taken out life insurance policies on certain employees...
That might partially explain why "he's richer than youse".
It's not a thrill to be killed by Chase.
Hey Lloyd and Jamie! Monkey see monkey do, as usual?
stupid assholes with top level educations who do little else other than fuck their own clients to enhance corporate coffers

You'd think at least one of these bankers would have an 'insurance policy'... in case of death, mail these documents to the media.
Which person in media would touch this? Potentially see the same fate? Heroes don't come in six packs.
It was Gov. Christes fault.
Did he at least wait until the bonus cleared in his account?
Instead of committing suicide... what about they go postal in their office? Or man the fuck up and go to the press and tell everything about the scam that JPMorgan runs??
Thats the 'tell' imo...
Keep um comin. Let's not slow this down
Don't get too excited or cheer their efficiency. Once they've removed the targeted bankers from the board, they probably have others on that list.
