28-Year Old Former JPMorgan Banker Jumps To His Death, Latest In Series Of Recent Suicides

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Not a week seems to pass without some banker or trader committing suicide. Today we get news of the latest such tragic event with news that 28-year old Kenneth Bellando, a former JPMorgan banker, current employee of Levy Capital, and brother of a top chief investment officer of JPM, jumped to his death from his 6th floor East Side apartment on March 12.

From the NY Post:

Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.

 

Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.

 

Kenneth Bellando — who grew up in Rockville Center, LI, and was a Georgetown graduate — worked as a summer analyst at JPMorgan while in school. Upon graduation in 2007, he was hired as an investment bank analyst and worked there for one year before moving on, according to his LinkedIn page.

 

The investment banker then went to Paragon Capital Partners, according to his LinkedIn page, until leaving at the end of 2013.

And so another young life is tragically taken before his time, the 11th financial professional to commit suicide in 2014, and the third in as many weeks. How many more to come?

In summary, here are all the recent untimely financial professional deaths we have witnessed in recent months:

1 - William Broeksmit, 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, was found dead in his home after an apparent suicide in South Kensington in central London, on January 26th.

2 - Karl Slym, 51 year old Tata Motors managing director Karl Slym, was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok on January 27th.

3 - Gabriel Magee, a 39-year-old JP Morgan employee, died after falling from the roof of the JP Morgan European headquarters in London on January 27th.

4 - Mike Dueker, 50-year-old chief economist of a US investment bank was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State.

5 - Richard Talley, the 57 year old founder of American Title Services in Centennial, Colorado, was found dead earlier this month after apparently shooting himself with a nail gun.

6 - Tim Dickenson, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, also died last month, however the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.

7 - Ryan Henry Crane, a 37 year old executive at JP Morgan died in an alleged suicide just a few weeks ago.  No details have been released about his death aside from this small obituary announcement at the Stamford Daily Voice.

8 - Li Junjie, 33-year-old banker in Hong Kong jumped from the JP Morgan HQ in Hong Kong this week.

9 - James Stuart Jr, Former National Bank of Commerce CEO, found dead in Scottsdale, Ariz., the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say whatcaused the death

10 - Edmund (Eddie) Reilly, 47, a trader at Midtown’s Vertical Group, commited suicide by jumping in front of LIRR train

11 - Kenneth Bellando, 28, a trader at Levy Capital, formerly investment banking analyst at JPMorgan, jumped to his death from his 6th floor East Side apartment.

Two possibilities, as I see it.

One: foul play cannot be ruled out.  Some of these cases are suspiciously bizarre.

Two: As the markets become increasingly diconnected from reality, the stress on those tasked with the day to day operation of said markets increases exponentially.  These people are working in an environment that is now openly running on lies and misinformation (hello Junker "when it becomes serious...").  Lies are not part of the business anymore.  They ARE the business.  It is very hard to maintain mental stability when you no longer can honestly tell fact from fiction, even for yourself, not to mention what you tell others.  I know I wouldn't last long in an environment like that.

Even for the people working in this system, it's destroying them.  It has to stop.

For the vast majority of us out here, the best we can do is to get as far from the center as possible and find alternate ways to survive so as to stand a chance of escaping the whirlpool when the sinking ship finally gets sucked under.

SofaPapa's picture

It's not a matter of whether the market is high or low.  Those are just numbers.  This is a much deeper problem: the numbers are meaningless.  Whether high or low, the concept of "value" is something none of us can determine anymore.  There is so much deception in all the statistics that high or low, someone whose job it is to "analyze" them is tasked with a job that will lead to the stress of trying to make sense out of lies.  Lies are emotional, not rational.  As such, there is nothing to work with.  I can see how wrestling with ghosts all day would drive some to suicide.

As I said, though, some of these deaths don't look much like suicide...

The people on CNBS are shills.  They are paid to act and entertain.  That's what they do.  

I do find their difficulties maintaining an audience a hopeful sign that although we're in a bad trend in this country, there are still some people with a tiny bit of common sense, enough to allow them to see the lie for what it is.

 

edited to take out glaring contradiction with what I wrote above. :)  oops.

Cabal backs down after threat of blockade of cabal controlled countries Posted by benjamin   March 18, 2014  

The high level brinkmanship surrounding the imminent collapse of the petro-dollar and the cabal behind it reached new levels in the past week, culminating with a BRICS ultimatum that “Oil, gas, food and other resources would cease being imported into both the US and NATO,” unless they backed off on their Ukraine offensive, according to a Russian government source.
There were also threats made to shut down the US electricity grid with an Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon, as reported by Dick Cheney, or direct attacks on vulnerable parts of the grid, threatened by militia forces, unless the cabal backs down.

The cabal controlled military elements counter-acted with threats to release bio-weapons, shut down world air-traffic and otherwise cause trouble.

At that point, to prevent a spiral that would knock civilization out of kilter, cooler heads prevailed and attempts to reach a compromise over control of the petro-dollar and Euro systems are now being made, according to sources directly involved in the negotiations.

The rapidly evolving situation in the Ukraine, the threat of war on Qatar by Saudi Arabia as well as the vanished Malaysian airliner, as well as many other incidents, are all linked to these negotiations, multiple sources agree.

In the case of the Ukraine, a United Nations Approved international treaty signed by Russia, the US and NATO stipulates that if any country violates the sovereignty of the Ukraine, then UN member countries are obliged to cease all trade with the violating countries. Since the Russians have incontrovertible evidence the legitimate Ukrainan government was overthrown by mercenaries financed by the privately owned Federal Reserve Board, their United States of America Corporation subsidiary and NATO members, all of these countries would be subject to a total trade embargo.
The attempts by the cabal controlled media and cabal slave governments to brand Russia as the aggressor in this situation are not fooling anybody.

In any case, even as the cabal controlled corporate propaganda media tries to distract everybody with lies over the situation in the Ukraine, as well as speculating endlessly about the missing Malaysian airliner, they are totally ignoring the defection from the cabal by the Gulf oil countries led by Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other gulf countries are threatening to cut off all trade with Qatar and possibly declare war unless that country shuts down Al Jazeera and kicks out cabal fronts like the Rand Corporation and the Brookings Institute. The only major Western corporate media outlet to report this huge development, as far as this writer can tell, has been Agence France Press or AFP.

The Rand Corporation is the same bunch of psychopaths who proposed a “war with a medium sized country like Japan or Brazil” as a way to revive the US economy. The earthquake that hit Christchurch New Zealand several years ago came immediately after Thad Allen of the Rand Corporation and about a dozen congressmen asked for the South Island of New Zealand to be used as a home for 1 million Satanic cabal members and were turned down. Qatar is also where the cabal bases many of its murder by drone operations.

The Saudi move came during the visit to China last week by the Saudi crown prince and means that the cabal can now be cut off access to both Russian and Middle Eastern oil. That is why the United States opened its’ strategic oil reserves last week. These reserves can keep the US going at current consumption rates without oil imports for 58 days.

Yea Fulford was in big a few years ago about how the US Marshalls and military were going to start arresting people in government, who were corrupt.   Never happened as many of the other things he has said, he is almost 100% disinfo.

I don't think he's disinfo, just bat-shit crazy.  At one point he was proclaiming that the secret Chinese Society called "The Dragon" was going to save us all.  Not sure what is more far-fetched, a group of Chinese ninjas saving us, or our own military.  Both are equally absurd ideas.

There are multiple authors that I refer to the "fiction" bin whenever I see their name on the byline. Fulford is one of them, Sorcha Faal is another, there's a few out there that I personally treat as being about as useful and authoritative as the authors of articles like "Bat-Boy meets with President" or "Bigfoot stole my wife."

Jamie Dimon walks warily down the street,
with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along,
without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
repeating the sound of the beat

Looks like his brother, John, was the bigger fish much like Jon Corzine was a much bigger fish than his son, Jeffrey Corzine, who died less than a week ago at age 31. It looks like the PTBs are going after family members of people who know too much in order to keep them quiet. As William Shakespeare once wrote: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

Just like in war it is the soldiers and civilians who are dying, not the generals and certainly not the politicians. Until some kind of mysterious 'flu' starts taking out the psychos at the top I can't celebrate these young peoples' deaths. They certainly are not heroes - they were never in it to help make the world a better place. But they are not villians either - only victims.

Ho-hum, another day, another mafia-style hit on people linked to the "London Whale" $100 Billion derivatives loss that Jim Willie keeps talking about. This guy's family was linked to the JPM investment office ... notice that this is yet another SON of somebody in the organization. This particular "suicide" is SCREAMING for people to look at the 2012 "London Whale" fiasco that swirled around one Bruno Iksil.

From Wikipedia:

"The unit was run by Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew, who has since stepped down. A series of derivative transactions involving credit default swaps (CDS) were entered, reportedly as part of the bank's "hedging" strategy.[1] Trader Bruno Iksil, nicknamed the London Whale, accumulated outsized CDS positions in the market. An estimated trading loss of $2 billion was announced, with the actual loss expected to be substantially larger. These events gave rise to a number of investigations to examine the firm's risk management systems and internal controls."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_JPMorgan_Chase_trading_loss

From Jim Willie last week: The Banker Suicides are connected to the ongoing cover-up of the true nature of the infamous “London Whale,” Bruno Iskil, derivative losses at JPMorgan. Jim believes the losses total more than $100 Billion, not the $9 Billion we were all led to believe.

People just don't generally jump from a sixth floor window to kill themselves. It is too low.

Most people looking down from the sixth floor would even be of the belief that it is "not that high."

Not that a fall from the sixth floor won't kill you, it is that someone that wants to kill himself is NOT going to do it by jumping off the sixth floor.

My money is on that he was tossed.

He didn't get his bonus like he wanted and the rest is history.

Can't these banksters be more creative in how they can kill themselves?

If they can kill themselves by jumping, why not drive a small boat out to sea 20 miles away from any shoreline and jump off of the boat while it is still under power?

They'll drown, at least be fish food, and they won't have to leave such a big mess to be cleaned up.

They should have some consideration for the rest of us.

The banksters shed crocodile tears when things don't go so good for the bulk of humanity, so it is no big loss.

One death is a tragedy, any bankster deaths is cause for celebration.

They just don't have to make such a big mess.

Obama should issue an executive order stating that any bankster suicides must have fed gov clearances and the time and place must first be approved by the Ministry of Suicide.

From now on they should spread a sheet of visqueen on the sidewalk before they jump. 

These messes shouldn't happen.

Bankers contemplating suicide should be forced to return to Jekyll Island.  Duck hunting mishap to spare your children the agony of a life where the solutions to problems now include:  Get a loan.  Move to a new city.  Kill oneself.

 

http://www.jekyllislandhistory.com/federalreserve.shtml

Ron Chernow in his book The Death of the Banker offers this account of the 1907 Panic, "In the following days, acting like a one-man Federal Reserve system, [J. Pierpont] Morgan decided which firms would fail and which survive. Through a non stop flurry of meetings, he organized rescues of banks and trust companies, averted a shutdown of the New York Stock Exchange, and engineered a financial bailout of New York City."

 

In the end, the panic was blocked and several young bankers including Henry P. Davison and Benjamin Strong Jr. were recognized for their work organizing personnel and determining the liquidity of the banks involved in the crises. In 1908 J. Pierpont Morgan asked Henry P. Davison to become a partner in his firm J. P. Morgan & Co. and in 1914 Benjamin Strong Jr. was selected to be the first president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Soon after the 1907 panic, Congress formed the National Monetary Commission to review banking policies in the United States. The committee, chaired by Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, toured Europe and collected data on the various banking methods being incorporated. Using this information as a base, in November of 1910 Senator Aldrich invited several bankers and economic scholars to attend a conference on Jekyll Island. While meeting under the ruse of a duck-shooting excursion, the financial experts were in reality hunting for a way to restructure America's banking system and eliminate the possibility of future economic panics.

It’s kind of a high mortality rate of bankers, isn’t it?

“You don’t rig Libor, you don’t rig Forex, you don’t rig the markets without the people at the top knowing about it.” That’s Gerald Celente on video today at Global Research.

What is going on here?

Gerald Celente: The data is adding up to failure in a big way; people forget that as the new year began, the equity markets have dumped over $3 Trillion in January; and then people also forget that there is a string of investigations going on that really don’t make the news…

It is not a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact (that the markets are rigged)… look who these bankers are, they are international bankers. We know there are investigations going on, that the Libor rigs were rigged, we’re talking about $700 trillion worth of rigging and you mentioned the list of international bankers from Deutsche Bank to JPMorgan Chase…

look at the Forex markets, we’re talking about $5.3 trillion a day in currencies being traded and when you look at where these people are coming from, these are the markets a lot of them were in.

And then you look at other markets that are being rigged and are under investigation and you can put the pieces together…

So who knew what when? is the question that keeps coming up in my mind…

So who are these investigative bodies? It’s those coming out of Germany, it’s coming out Brussels, it’s out of England, it’s coming out of the U.S… these investigations are going on…as a matter of fact there was a big story that just broke recently about the Libor rigging where the US and the UK have to get on board better because one’s undercutting the other… How far will they go, who knows? Will they stop, nobody knows.

But here’s the other fact. We know that of all the crimes that have been committed by Wall Street, not one head has rolled…not one…and again this isn’t a conspiracy theory because you look at the fines that were paid by the Goldman Sachs guy, the JPMorgan Chase criminals, the Deutsche Bank bandits, they pay the fines but nobody’s head rolls…and the only heads that do roll are the low level people within the organizations

Are these the people that are committing suicide? They could very well be because maybe they know too much. Because, let’s face it, you don’t rig Libor, you don’t rig Forex, you don’t rig the markets without the people at the top knowing about it. So what they’re doing, they’re cutting off the link that goes to the top… That’s my speculation and again I can only speculate by the facts that have been presented to us…

…the whole thing is a criminal operation… The gangs are in charge…murderers and thieves.

There’s more - from Timothy Geithner tipping off the CEO of Citigroup in advance that they're going to be adjusting interest rates to the President of the New York Fed…

What the hell? Aren't they supposed to be doing this when they are going broke not when everyone is making ridiculous money on inflated markets? Maybe there is just so many of them now that they have a statistically significant presence, and it just so happens that the media picks their stories up cuz wow... Super cool wolves of Wall Street suicide, too! Maybe it is modern media's idea of a human interest story.

I spoke to an investment banker one time. He said the stress was so bad that he and his colleagues were always on antidepressants and tranquilizers. But he wasn't a high-level executive. The guys who make the really big bucks are pure sociopaths and would sell their soul if they thought the yield would be good.

"I spoke to an investment banker one time. He said the stress was so bad that he and his colleagues were always on antidepressants and tranquilizers."

That makes a lot of sense. My investment choices are much better when I'm on antidepressants because I'm more optimistic that what I'm doing is correct. The average person not on drugs is prone to 'buy and fold' investing. Buy something, it drops 10%, omg sell at market before it goes to zero!

Roughly 39,000 people off themselves each year in the usa. 5.5 million people are employed in the banking and insurance industries. Figure half are bankers. That's 2.75 million bankers out of 320 million people in the usa or .8594%. If we apply this to the number of bankers, we would expect 335 bankers to suicide every year in the usa alone.

Apathy may be one regrettable response to the banking tyranny. But it’s not the worst response. That is the proud ignorance of not knowing who is creating this tyranny and who are the victims; celebrating the deaths (by murder or suicide) of lower level financial workers when not one single top executive has suffered, not even Jon Corzine, is a black mark on the human race.

It was Snowden’s greatest fear.

Said Philip Ewing on Politico: “Not exile; not the danger of imprisonment or prosecution; and not his newfound association with dictators, lawyers and impresarios.

“Snowden’s worst fear, by his own account, was that ‘nothing will change.’

“’People will see in the media all these disclosures, they’ll know the lengths the government is going to grant themselves powers, unilaterally, to create greater control over American society and global society,’ he told The Guardian last month after he’d asked it to identify him as its source. ‘But they won’t be willing to take the risks necessary to stand up and fight to change things, to force their representatives to actually take a stand in their interests.,”

And some will even applaud their domination by the whip hand rather than fight.

This is about the London Whale losing more like 100 to 500 billion instead of 6 billion.  Which means if that news comes out everyone will realize that JPM lies, (what a surprise) and in FACT they are totally and unequivicably INSOLVENT.  The rats are jumping ship as in Blythe Scumsers is gone now. Also, I'm sure the silver and gold suppression schemes have something to do with these deaths as well.  I seriously doubt any of these are suicides.  But my sentiment is as follows:

 

JUMP YOU FUCKERS!!

As a few of you have already said, the truth is becoming clear. This is related to the solvency of JPM. These are covert ops wet work hits being carried out by assassins sanctioned by some form of intel agency hierarchy. How else would a complete narrative be woven together from coroners office to media to local officials? The bottom line is that if the true nature of the "London whale" losses is revealed, JPM will be known to be incolvent. All their accounting fraudulent. This would be Lehman x100. Meaning The Fed would have to bail out JPM and all of it's major TBTF counterparties, thereby sacrificing the dollar ($10 Trillion Dollar bailout anyone? The 2008 fiasco had a total price tag of over $1 Trillion. $10T would only be enough to keep a shell of a banking system functioning. Most financial services institutions would go under). Knocking us into a swirling whirlpool of Martial Law, frozen goods distribution, riots and general panic. THIS is why all of these hits are being carried out by under the auspices of National Security.

This particular death, looks like it's sending many messages. 1) A message to the kids brother and father - you talked or revealed too much already, look at what you get. Keep talking and your wife/sister/daughter is next. 2) All you other banksters getting cold feet, look at what happened to this guy's kid. Want that to be your kid? We're not fucking around. We're playing for keeps.

My guess is the brother tried to reach out either to one of the alphabet agencies or a foreign media source, or was PLANNING to, and they sent him this warning. Probably not the first warning he's gotten. I would be speculating to guess who is actually carrying out the hits. Ultimate tinfoil hat theory would say rogue assassins hired from the vatican or some illuminati lodge. But the reality is more close to mossad or cia special operations group hit teams.

Shit is real in the field folks. THIS is why it really is time to be stacking physical, because they are pulling out all the stops to prevent this system from imploding.

The derivatives Tower of Babel isn't just creaking. We're seeing the rivets being blasted off from the pressure being exerted. I get the sick feeling these suicides are akin to the pre-9/11 revelation that $2.3 Trillion i defense spending was unaccounted for. What is coming that is going to be so big that all this shit is forgotten and swept under the rug? Scary shit.
