ABN Amro Ex-CEO Found Dead

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A mere two weeks since former JPMorgan banker, Kenneth Bellando jumped to his death, Bloomberg reports that the former CEO of Dutch Bank ABN Amro (and his wife and daughter) were found dead at their home after a possible "family tragedy." This expands the dismal list of senior financial services executive deaths to 12 in the last few months. The 57-year-old Jan Peter Schmittmann, was reportedly discovered by his other daughter when she arrived home that morning. Police declined to comment on the cirumstances of his (and his wife and daughter's) death. This is not the first C-level ABN Amro banker to be found dead. In 2009, former CFO Huibert Boumeester was discovered with (assumed self-inflicted) shotgun wounds.

 

As Bloomberg reports,

Former ABN Amro Group NV Netherlands Chief Executive Officer Jan Peter Schmittmann, his wife and a daughter were found dead at their home today after a possible “family tragedy,” Dutch police said.

 

The bodies of a father and mother and their daughter were found at the property” in the town of Laren, 32 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Amsterdam, Dutch police said in a statement on their website today. Leonie Bosselaar, a police spokeswoman, said in a telephone call with Bloomberg News that the deceased were Schmittmann and two family members.

 

The police received a call around 10:30 a.m. local time from a family acquaintance who said something may be wrong at the property, according to the statement. Bosselaar declined to comment further on what may have happened.

 

The Dutch newspaper AD reported, without citing anyone, that the family was discovered by Schmittmann’s second daughter when she arrived home this morning. She was scheduled to travel to India with her parents, where she had an internship lined up, the newspaper said.

 

Schmittmann, 57, joined ABN Amro in 1983 as assistant relationship manager and was named head of the lender’s Dutch unit in 2003. He stepped down from the Amsterdam-based bank in December 2008, after the company was nationalized earlier that year.

Sadly, given recent trends, the default assumption is that it is suicide until proven otherwise which is just as disturbing from a sociological perspective. (on the bright side, at least as far as we know, we was not involved in HFT) but further to that, this is not the first ABN Amro seniot executve to be found dead. In 2009, Schmittmann's former CFO was found dead from shitgum wounds:

The former chief financial officer of Dutch bank ABN Amro has been found dead with shotgun wounds near his home in Surrey, the BBC has reported.

 

Huibert Gerard Boumeester was found dead yesterday, Sunday, with shotgun wounds, one week after being reported missing and “vulnerable”. Reports claim he was found with two shotguns which he had brought from his home, though Thames Valley Police say his death is currently being treated as "unexplained".

 

Boumeester, 49, left his role as CFO encompassing responsibility for group-wide finance, risk management, investor relations, communications and strategic decision support in March 2008 citing "personal reasons" six months after ABN Amro was bought by Fortis, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander. The Dutch government now owns Fortis Bank and has taken direct ownership of its stake in ABN Amro. The British government owns most of RBS.

 

There are suggestions that Boumeester took his own life...

Schmittmann owned 2phase2 (apparently an asset management company) and was a co-founder of 5 Park Lane (what appears to be a private equity / management consultancy) according to his LinkedIn profile:

 

 

This brings the sad list of senior financial services exectives who have died in the last few months to 12:

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.

12 - Jan Peter Schmittmann, 57, the former CEO of Dutch bank ABN Amro found dead at home near Amsterdam with wife and daughter.

Late 70's.
Weekends we were packed. Must of been Monday, when we were nearly deserted. A bellman walked by the car and first thought the guy was passed out and then kind of got the idea and ran into the front office screaming. Lots of cops, firemen. A tarp and figuring out if he was a guest.

Those were the days. Chambermaids, left behind alcohol and room keys.

I wonder how much assassins make for some of these banker hits?   Is it some highly skilled, high paid assassin, or do they place an ad in the nearest hood or possibly craigslist and offer $5k.   I'd really like to know this...  Maybe if I make it to the right Tor web site on the dark web I can find out.   I wonder if its like $50k in bitcoin or $100k.

It can be done very cheap, but consider this -- you don't want anyone but a professional doing this.

And then the professional knows what he's done, and given what's going on, there's likely hits on assassin, too.

My bet is the price tag is going up on bankster hits to the point that only governments can afford them. And they tend to in-source.

Exactly.  In the Seattle area, you can have someone killed for under $1,000... but it's likely you'll end up on the front page of the paper.

John Garrett Underhill, Jr., CIA

Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Underhill told his friend, Charlene Fitsimmons, that he was convinced that Kennedy had been killed by "a small clique in the CIA." He knew the people involved and what they knew. He also said: "Oswald is a patsy. They set him up. It's too much. The bastards have done something outrageous. They've killed the President! I've been listening and hearing things. I couldn't believe they'd get away with it, but they did!"

John Paisley, CIA

Several days later Paisley's body was found floating in the bay. The body had a single gunshot wound to the left side of the head and had been strapped and weighed down with diving weights. Eventually the death would be deemed a suicide.

Both involved in the JFK conspiracy; I recommend reading the book Hit List.

Imagine that.  A CIA agent knew that other CIA agents had killed our President and so instead of doing something he tells a lady friend.  How very credible...

There were also doubts about Paisley being a double or even triple agent for the KGB.  Died of suicide by sailboat.  How convenient.

Read the book Disinformation before putting up any more JFK conspiracies.

Dark Legacy:

 Bush, the CIA and the Murder of JFK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NlJQJUUqR4

 A thorough, well documented, criminal indictment of George Herbert Walker Bush, establishing way beyond any reasonable doubt his guilt as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. 

The evidence is overwhelming and as the author of this documentary, John Hankey says,

"If we could present this evidence to a jury in Texas, Bush would pay with his life".

Did you know his daddy, Prescott Bush, was Hitler's chief banker in the U.S. before 1942?

Did you know that George H.W. Bush was in the CIA and in Dallas when Kennedy was killed?

This video explores the many connections between George Bush and the Kennedy Assassination and makes a very convincing argument that he was the operational leader of the most important coup in American history.

True that the fams are getting capped, but if this had been the defacto policy all along you'd think it would keep some of these guys in check, no?  When the mob was in power (I mean the Italians of course, before the current kike mob) there were checks and balances and everyone knew what Fat Tony's policies were and what lines weren't crossed and what the consequences were for doing so.

Granted many of these bank execs. are psycho/sociopaths anyway, but they also got to the point where they even thought themselves as untouchable. With the mob men knew that if they played the game it could always go wrong for them, but at least there was honor amongst theives and families generally weren't in play and men kept business at work.  Now?  They know.  They all know what's going on because the psychos/socios love to blab and brag!

Sorry for the young adult daughter who had a future ahead of her.  The bankster and wife (yes, the wives KNOW what their husbands do, and they enjoy the big homes, lengthy vacays, fancy cars, unlimited credit cards, etc.) don't really deserve our sympathies.

The question is:

How much life insurance did their employers hold on these guys?

 

If banks were buying credit default swaps on shit they packaged and sold knowing it would fail, you KNOW they're buying life insurance on execs they KNOW are about to commit suicide.  

Banks never miss a bet on a sure thing.

Why take your innocent wife and child on the long journey. This should be strictly a one man trip at a time. Die like Hamlet. 

These bankers must have all lost their golden rule book which imposes on them the second rule of golden parachute unless they contravene the first golden rule which is never jump from a plane if  you've haven't been to the loo, 'cos you'll drown in your own peepee as your parachute will  never open when it smells that tell-tale smell; its HFT algorithm'd to stay shut by the fine noses of Chanel!

Chanel decides who goes to heaven and who goes to hell in Oligarchy world. That was Coco's rule when she launched  N° 5 as God's gift to mankind. 

As the old saying goes "its a matter of life or death"...going to the loo, before you say : Yahoo, bombs away! 

These guys hadn't been to the loo...so their parachute got HFT'd. And they drowned in the deep blue, or bounced off the tarmac. 

Maybe Hollywood will make a block buster movie about the tragic twelve apostles, who lost their religion, forgot rule # 1 becoming victims of rule # 2. 

And Coco will bring out ze magnificent scent of N° 12, Hamlet's preferred perfume to quell the smell of that other natural essence. Magnificence is for tragedians who thus show us all they are not "bad chaps" in their final act.

I think that the wife and kid are dead lends credibility that this was a hit and not a suicide.

A lot of these "suicides" are on the sketchy side. Like driving miles to throw yourself down a short embankment at the side of a highway sketchy.

FYI the bridge the banker drove to was the famious 'Galloping Gertie' bridge. The bridge that was famious for teaching bridge designers world over how to avoid wind harmonics because of its oscilation distruction. The only such bridge in the whole world to teach such a lession to all engineers. Maby this bankers death chose this bridge as a message we do not yet understand.

Phillip  Marshall supposedly killed his two teenage children before committing suicide at their Forest Meadows home. The family dog had received a fatal single gun shot wound too.

Marshall had been a contract pilot in the 1980s for the CIA and was about to release  his book "The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror.”

The tragedy of this death is loss of the knowledge  Jan Peter Schmittmann  would have had of the banking business of ABN Armo and RBS, after the takeover of the former by the later in 2007, in his capacity as a member of the Managing Board of Abn Amro along side the likes of  (ex-Sir)  Fred Goodwin on the Supervisory Board.

 (RBS- Royal Bank of Scotland.)

Yes, I believe that's correct. I did recently read a peer-reviewed scientific paper stating that double murder/suicides would certainly increase alarmingly due to man-made global warming. I believe the authors based their conclusions on several tree rings from the Yamal region of Russian Siberia.

The fact that it's ABN Amro lends support to the conspiracy theories that this is about gold.

With respects to his family and their horrendous ordeal, the big problem for a banker is whose money to take.   There are unsavory elements of varying sizes, and their associated thugs.   The question "who benefits" would be the appropriate one.  Without a detailed knowledge of his life and work, it's impossible to say.  Like the film, The Firm, once inside or connected to those inferior elements, there is only one way out...

I don't buy the whole suicide thing either. These are banksters who can lie themselves out of or into anything. They have money stashed away, they don't mind getting caught doing banking crime. That is why they were hired! So, all of a sudden, they have some problem they can't lie thier way out of? No, someone wanted them QUIET.

In the case of Richard Talley (nail gun suicide), those who suicided him were able to do so by lurking in his garage. His wife was spared. If she had heard something and gone out to the garage to investigate, she'd have been topped too. No witnesses will be left.

That may have been difficult on this occasion, so they had no option but to take out his wife and daughter too. The other daughter wasn't home at the time, she was spared.

 

...just a theory.
