CEO Of Liechtenstein Bank Frick Murdered In Broad Daylight
Over the weekend the world was gripped by the drama surrounding the mysterious murder-homicide of the former CEO of Dutch bank ABN Amro and members of his family, and whether there is more foul play than meets the eye. However, that is nothing compared to what just happened in the tiny, and all too quiet Principality of Lichtenstein, where moments ago the CEO of local financial institution Bank Frick & Co. AG, Juergen Frick, was shot dead in the underground garage of the bank located in the city of Balzers.
Based on preliminary reports, the murder is the result of a disgruntled fund manager, Juergen Germann, who had previously been embroiled in a "bitter dispute" with the government and the bank. Bloomberg has more:
A 48-year-old man was shot dead in the underground garage of a financial institution in Balzers at 7:30 a.m. local time, the principality’s police said on its website. The suspect, Juergen Hermann, fled the scene in a Smart car with Liechtenstein number plates, according to police. Neither the victim nor the institution were identified in the statement.
The deceased was Juergen Frick, CEO of Bank Frick & Co. AG, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said in an e-mailed statement, citing employees of the bank. Calls to Bank Frick were answered by a voice-mail message saying the company is closed because of “a death.” It gave no further details.
Hermann is a fund manager who has been embroiled in a dispute with the Liechtenstein government and Bank Frick for many years, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said.
The Liechtenstein government and the country’s Financial Market Authority “illegally destroyed my investment company Hermann Finance and its funds, depriving me of my livelihood,” according to a website registered under the name Juergen Hermann of Hermann Finance AG.
He has filed lawsuits seeking recovery of 200 million Swiss francs ($225 million) from the government and 33 million francs from Bank Frick, according to the website. The lender “illegally enriched itself,” among other alleged crimes, it said.
A representative of Hermann’s lawyer declined to comment when reached by telephone. A call to Hermann Finance’s office was answered by an employee of a law firm who said his company isn’t related to Hermann Finance.
The narrative against the "publicly hostile" alleged shooter has already been flushed out.
Hermann has been “publicly hostile” to the country’s Financial Market Authority and some of its employees, forcing it to take security measures in consultation with the police, FMA spokesman Beat Krieger said in an e-mail today.
The escape vehicle was later found in the village of Ruggell, 25 kilometers (16 miles) north of Balzers, police said.
“The area is being searched by police with dogs and helicopters,” the 120-member police force said. Zurich police are helping to document the crime scene, spokesman Mario Cortesi said.
Here is the update form the local police station:
On Monday morning, it came in Balzers a homicide, the suspect is currently volatile.
Against 07.30 clock in an underground garage of a financial institution is a homicide in which a 48-year-old man was shot occurred. When volatile suspects are Jürgen Hermann from the Moors. He is armed and dangerous, according to police reports, the investigation of the National Police is in full swing.
Notes on a possible whereabouts of the suspects are requested immediately to the police landing +423 / 236 71 11. Upon encountering the suspect, it is important to exercise extreme caution.
Below is the profile of the murdered CEO, still on the bank's website:
As CEO Jürgen Frick is closely involved in all business activities of the bank with a special focus lying on client advisory, financing and financial product development. As well he supervises all real estate development projects of the Bank.
Jürgen is also Chairman of the Board at Crystal Fund Management AG, a subsidiary of Bank Frick & Co.
As for the bank itself:
Bank Frick is active in modern wealth management and provides a range of advisory services. As well it specializes in fund development and fund administration.
Our Bank entertains close ties to an efficient network of fiduciaries, insurers, tax experts, investment funds and law firms around the world.
We are completely independent. Our advice and our services cater exclusively to the individual needs and requirements of our clients.
Combinvest Establishment serves as holding for all bank shares. Family Frick is the majority stake holder.
After a successful career in international banking and fiduciary services, Kuno Frick senior founded in December 1998 Bank Frick & Co. AG. Due to his wide experience and excellent connections, Bank Frick proved an immediate success.
Since then, the bank’s assets under management have risen steadily. New business segments are continuously being added to the bank’s service portfolio, while existing ones are constantly being refined.
In autumn 2011, Bank Frick’s international presence was significantly enhanced with the opening of Bank Frick UK Branch in Mayfair, London.
Up until now it was mostly banker suicides. With the first open bank CEO murder, one wonders if there will be a change in the pattern.

All these wonderful typos...Freudian slips...? "bank with a special focus lying on client advisory". Shitgum wound.
It´s really happening!
"...the city of Balzers."
City? Lichtenstein is a village, and anything inside this village is...errr, well, you get the point.
p.s. fleeing the scene in a Smart car? Well, that's just f*cking brilliant!
Take note: This is how action should be taken.
"Get 3 coffins ready."
"My mistake, 4 coffins.
Ellie: 'I'm looking for patterns in the chaos!' from the film - "Contact"
I don't know about you all but I am certainly seeing patterns in the chaos
Frick got fracked.
"Am I a bad person ?"
Have at it. Boxers know the risks when they enter the profession. Tightrope walkers know the risks. Maybe it's about time that bankers see more risk on that side of the ledger, and then give more thought to risk management on a more personal level. The reward side of still dwarfs the risk side, but given a little more time....
...bullish on escalated risk
"...The reward side of still dwarfs the risk side, "
Maybe, but a little recalculation on their part might be in order. Hard to enjoy your ill-gotten gains when you're taking a dirt nap.
The risk is not so much in the quantity but in the frequency.
A single plane crash is a trajedy. A cluster of them, and people start to get real nervous about flying.
I am worse, so let us sing:
"Sooo ein Taaag, so wunderschöööön wie Heuteee ....
mit toten Banksters soll der nie wergeeeeh'n "

The rats are turning on each other. Fled the scene in a smart car? WTF? Is this a scene out of Benny Hill? Maybe some Yakety Sax music is appropriate.
http://youtu.be/uA8wgp5r0hs
Edit: watch the fucking video.
"The rats are turning on each other"
Let's hope this is just the beginning.
Maybe the Smart Car has been modified with a Suzuki Hyabusa motor, and is tuned for Gymkhana.
No he made his escape on a polo horse. That´s much better. I am just waiting for the next victim to bludgeoned to death with a polo mallet. That´s Ghymkhana.
No need. You can buy a Smart Brabus edition. 0-60 in 6 seconds.

What's the over/under on the perp getting caught today? What's the over/under on him suiciding?
Dead finks don't talk.
That was great. Gotta give props to the driver doing those U-turns and giving the cops a run for their money.
I liked when the driver hopped out for a minute to wave.
always make the bastard chase you
Doc- I hadn't even made it down the thread to your post when I had the exact same thought, above- Benny Hill episode. That's weird we would both go straight to that rather obscure reference.
I think we are showing our age.. At least I know I am.
i know this is a somber occassion but that was damn funny!
:::: : :::: ::
why is a fat chick like a Smart car?
Both are fun to ride but you don't want to get caught in one.
Rothschild rolling up the carpet....
It just keeps happening like clockwork, these bankers are dropping like flies.
Not "smart car" enough not to be seen.
Or the dude that lodged a bunch of complaints happens to drive a smart car. And they just happen to have a patsy. Because, how else would they know this guy did it? Did anyone see him in the parking garage? You can tell me he fled the scene. But you can tell me my mother fled the scene as well. Doesn't make it true. Unless there are video cameras?
It will be interesting as more details come out.
Robert Maxwell's bankers.Same pedigree as Soros.
Mmmmm
Nice to see the bank had "a special focus lying on client advisory" according to the news...
Did the shooter get Corzined and go nuts? AM I reading this correctly?
I am interpreting it the same way.
nuts would imply a straight jacket.
this was more full metal jacket.
..
My occult corn flakes decoder ring says he corresponds to Hafiz al Assad...but he's dead already, dude / duddette...and the tapping on the underside of my desk says the killer is the AI controller of Google.
Whoah...far out, better lay off the mj and get back to meth.
When will we have our Night of the Long Knives I wonder?
This is getting really frightening, a Jurgen kiiling his brother for 200 millions- so why did he do the lawsuit for?
Funny that they already know the name of the suspect, makes me wonder. Jurgen Hermann from the Moors is armed and dangerous, well, for a hedge fund manager, you know, he certainly does not have the manners of a Hell Angel. First I thought that Moors was a motorclub.
edit: will they just shoot the suspect and no trial?
How do they know the name so fast? This is the question. They don't mention witnesses either. Just that he fled the scene. Ok. Fine. Doesn't make it true.
And if he has been filing complaints/lawsuits/etc, then clearly they know all about this guy. Could just be a fall guy.
My tinfoil too tight today?
they knew the name so fast because, as is stated in the article ( do people here actually read the whole article before replying ? ) :
And as a large part of this article here is a very bad "google type" cheapo digital translation from German to english , a human translation would tell you that " from the Moors" is a literal translation of " van Mauren¨ from Mauren, which is an area, or state, of Liechtenstien. How about that ! Pronounced a bit like'moron", which is state ( of mind) in the usa it would appear
Yes. I read the article. And being "publicly hostile" does not equate to being the killer. Unless someone saw him there. Security or not.
So yes, as I said, they knew his name so fast because of the history of the individual. It does not mean he did it.
And insults. Well, of course you would resort to them.
Get rid of two birds, with one stone, so to speak...
Jack Ruby Jr. is in transit as we breath.
You always need a fall guy. Probably woke up beside the corpse, gun in hand with hazy recollections of having been picked up by an attractive blonde the night before.
Wake me up when Jamie Dimon is RIP by homicide. This would symbolize some justice for the poor people.
RIP means Rest in Peace. Dimon ain't gonna RIP. That son of a bitch will burn in hell.
Retired in Perpetuity.
after the ruskie fund freezing faux pas, surely his security staff warned him against eating the polonium-laced sandwiches in a london tea room
"modern wealth management"
Pretty much says it all right there.
AKA tax evasion/avoidance (equivalent terms).
Golf claps...
And Jon Corizine is still free...
"The escape vehicle was later found in the village of Ruggell"
No wonder they didn't want to name the vehicle. You have got to be joking. I wonder how many Law Enforcement officers it took to chase this:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=smart+car&client=firefox-a&hs=AdW&rls=...
That's not a car, that's a golfcart that makes the Trabant look roomy.
Thanks for the laugh. The reference is perfect.
Though, on the flipsie, atleast you can fix a trabant with minimal tools.
I could buy a new Smart Car and and the net cost would be less than 0, given what my wife racks up with monthly Swiss speeding tickets with her (pseudo-standard transmission) Mercedes... unless that wasn't the type of 2-seater she was talking about getting... in which case, I might have to get a second job and spend a lot less time here.
Was that after a fingertip search by local plod
I see the U.S having a bright future outsourcing our Dornering capabilities.
Lets face it, there are a whole lot of bankers on this planet. Not sure the murder of a banker in Liechenstien of all places, means anything more than the murder of any other citizen.
Now, when GS and JPM execs start getting popped one by one, then you may be on to something.
Every day a banker dies is a good day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FscIgtDJFXg
Some folks don't like being corzined, they take it personal!
The wheels are starting to come off.
"modern wealth management"
Say no more.
Those bankers sure do like to kill themselves.
So what did it this time? A paintbrush? at least it looked like "a accident"...
I think this is at least the second murder, counting the nail gun guy as the first. But this one they can't even spin apparently.
Oh my... Oh my...
But at the rate we are going with these deaths one has to wonder if it eventually won't turn on the very people who are ordering these "hits"?
So ask yourselves on this one.
Why the fuck can't we turn this into a "positive" and start disappearing the lawmakers in Washington followed by Treasury and Reserve and then the Leaderships at DoD, NSA and CIA and simply turn them all into suicides? Oh almsot forgot when we're finished with all of these then it's time to turn on the presstitute mouthpieces. What I wouldn't give to see Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan jump off a "high rise" ;-) (big smiles)...
Time we made it a festive party atmosphere with good cheer!
LOL. Escaped in a smart car? I can see the hollywood remake now with a high speed chase.
Featuring additional decoy drivers Benny Hill, Toonces the Cat and Mister Bean.
This reads like comedy.
A Bank that looks like a barn in the middst of grass fields (and that handles hundreds of millions!) A guy named Herrman, investment fund manager driving a smart car? Shooting another Banker in a garage. WTF?
One small correction:
Our Bank entertains close ties to an efficient network of fiduciaries, insurers, tax experts, investment funds and law firms around the world. the criminal underworld.
Fixed that for you.
do you ever wonder if all this ZH attention to bankers dying and the angry mob of neanderthals here might contribute to some of this?
I seriously could see an economic meltdown and Wall Streeters being targeted as the ONLY social (negative) impact from ZeroHedge. (the gold and silver hording will end up being benign externality)
"......and the angry mob of neanderthals here might contribute to some of this?"
I sincerely hope so.
Good God, man. I've been called may things, but never a neanderthal.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Fear And Loathing in [Any Banker Weekend Home]
at this rate it's gonna be Fear & Loathing at Bernie's
Heck, a guy could have himself a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
project mayhem
Concur.
Part of that sounds like a good mission statement.
well shuckseydarn. If'n that were to be the case I sure would be all upset'n'stuff.
oh please won't someone fink of da shilldren.
frick it.
Desperate people do desperate things...
And at least no 'innocents' were harmed (unlike the freakin idiots we have in the US).
If these banksters up their personal security to higher levels or try to hide then I'm sure there will be deaths of innocent people around them when it will take car bombs or other large explosive divices to kill them off.
So just in case you don't want to end up being a statistic, I'd recommend staying out of major bank buildings where these types of douche-bags might typically have their offices.
Get outta the banking system and stay out of banks all together. I'd also hate to the neighbors with any potential bankster "suicide" targets...they could get caught in the crossfire as well.
Banksters residences will now be known for driving down the property values in their neighborhoods due to being high hit-man target probailities! LOL
Bah, you're just not using your imagination partner.
Personal security are often bought off as assassins.
Shun them. They are not respectable people.
Place the Bomb between the Gas Meter and the Bank Building to ensure destruction by the ensuing fire.
depends.
Remember the lesson of Fight Club: we cook for you, we clean for you, we protect you while you sleep.
That's right.
Infiltrate.
Whose to say ALL the others were suicides?
This would make a good novel. These killings are in different, even international, jurisdictions. Detective or journalist as protagonist, investigates one killing, goes to other city's killing because of common thread. His bosses stonewall him, he discovers someone following him. He continues to investigate anyway. etc. Grisham or Forsyth. Write it so mid-level bad guys (your pick) get caught or killed. High level bad guys get away to reappear in volume 2, due out in 2015.
So, The International with doses of The Bourne Identity (Mini-Cooper chase scene), and Wilford Brimley as the evil Security lead chasing Tom Cruise in The Firm. The nail gun parts will be interesting.
Sounds like a movie called The International.
I'll check it out. Was just thinking out loud.
I did. Clive Owen. Top-notch story.
i just got off the phone with an Inspector Todd in Detroit. he said that if you're out here investigating the Tandino murder, you needn't bother coming back.
Frick wouldn't jump off a building or use a nail gun on himself, so someone else got the job to take care of him, bankster style.
Is there a line item for "Executive Personal Security Expense" on banks' financial statements? This number will be growing exponentially. Also, can the banks figure out a way to add that expense back to Net Income and non-GAAP cash flow?
That guy musta had tight security around him. They couldn't even get to him in such a way as to make it look like a suicide, so they just took him out the first chance they could find him out in the open.
Tough times for banksters these days. I suppose as more of their pals get "suicided" or blatantly murdered, the rest will use their considerable ill-gotten wealth to massively upgrade their personal security and or try to disappear and change their identities, etc.
Those who know too much are being exterminated because they're the ones who the investigators such as with Interpol are getting to first to try and get them to rat out the big-wigs.
I'll be glad to see names on the "suicide" list such as Soros, Rockerfeller, and Rothschild one of these days, to name a few. Then you'll know the mafia heads are finally getting what they deserve after all these many long decades of wars, fraud, death and misery they have subjected the world to.
I say send them all back to the open air prison they designed for themselves and let the palestinians be the guards of it.
That would be justice.
Sounding more and more like the old Mafia hits.
What did they know? Who did they cross?
"Th trend is your friend," they say on Wall Street.
Call me when they start chaining banksters to lightpoles, dousing them with petrol and setting them alight.
Give it a month or two.
By 'when' do you mean just before, or just after?
whack a mole!!
I'm waiting for this one with zeal: "_______ was .......... in front of 650 park ave this am"
You get the picture.
I would squeal with joy like a little girl and do a jig
Doesn't the "arrow" thing mean you need to drive a canoe and "squeal like a pig" ?
If it happened in the US Eric Holder would state on the socialist media it was an accidental death.
It's Fleshed out not Flushed out.
You flesh out a plan.
You flush toilets and flush out toxins.
You flush out game or people who are in hiding.
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/fleshing-out-and-flushing-out/
the narrative has been flushed... into the media sewers. "it's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material." someone said that once.
The killer escaped in a Smart Car?
Really?
Was he wearing a clown outfit?
Shades of SNL.
Yes, and police gave pursuit on roller-blades.
reminds me of what happened in Alberta last week...

USA is Big
Liechtenstein not so much :)
He'll be the laughingstock of the cell block when they find out that he was chased down by two mopeds and a bicycle cop.
-->this<--
Broad daylight in an underground car park?
You know. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but isn't 13 bankers at a rate of one per month statistically relevant. Especially given the average age of the death.
now you've gone and done it, prepare for random mass casualties to skew the sample set. #bali
@goBackToSleep
"13 bankers at a rate of one per month"
Yep theres the interest on everybodys savings :)
It is statistically relevant but entirely inadequate.
Banker's dozen? bwa ah ah!
Yep, I laughed.
Saw what you did there!
Of course it is. Nailgun sales have been slumping and this is the recovery the market's been looking for.
"How did he die?"
"He got shot in Balzers."
"Ouch!"
Ow, my Balzers!
They can't even be bothered to make up a suicided story any more. BANG! Next!
I think the suicided angle was getting a little too coinky-dinky to be believable.
STOP THE LIES
STOP THE FEAR MONG GERING NOW.
HERR JUERGUN FRICK WAS NOT SHOT BY A MOSSAD KIDRON TEAM.
THAT IS MORE NAZI LIES.
JUERGEN FELL ASLEEP IN HIS CAR WHILE POLISHING HIS GUN WITH THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.
police have now released a statement stating it is true the hair on the back of his head is indeed soft and perfect for polishing weapons.
head polishing, now is that 9mm semi-autoerotic?
Frick me, I know that 'hood! I guess we'd better be careful from now on, when we say "Frick me!".
BTW, Liechtenstein is where the truly wealthy people put/invest/hide their (ill or well-gotten) money. It's the Switzerland of Switzerland, so to speak. Except that this man is even less likely to speak than before, as he won't be discoing to the bank to any Bee Gees tunes ("Stayin' Allive").
p.s. Remember Kirk's adage: "If you can't see the pattern or the data doesn't fit your model, you either have a problem with your data or your model. Maybe both." - Kirk out.
The filing fee along to set up a Liechtenstein corporation is over $10,000.
For that you get some nominee directors who won't tell anybody anything so long as no crime was committed in Liechtenstein.
Plenty of Miami real estate moves in and out of Liechtenstein corporations for various reasons.
Plenty of Miami real estate moves in and out of Liechtenstein corporations for various reasons.
As did the film rights to The Lord of the Rings.
I've heard that the Liechtenstein establishment can be hostile to someone trying to stiff his (ex) spouse in divorce proceedings: "we are basically Catholic peasants here".
I would bet on the model having problems unless the quality of the data is questionable. That is where the Error Analysis functions apply to the observed data.
That is both applicable in Light and Thermodynamics as well as in the study of Econometrics.
With a carefully developed sense of Schadenfroid, i cheer the fact that world is just a teeny tiny bit better off today after yet another banker goes extinct.
Too bad we don't have these Benevolent Assassins to take care of business at the FED, Treasury, CONgress in the Finance, Defense, and Roads and Bridges.
It is amazing that in a world of so many bank induced catastrophes there haven't been more killings. But given the inability of justice to do nothing else but occasionally fine the culprits, it stands to reason that once in a while people will take matters into their own hands when they have run out of patience and hope.
Fuck Frick.
why is it always the goy bankers gettin it?
can we have some yiddisha house cleanin
or is that not how the saturn stacked cube game works
The goy are going to have to grow Some balls first.
Whathappened to Frack?
I'm sure those npr mechanics are safe...
.
There's an irony in everything...the shooter drove away in a SMART car?!? Well, at least he was environmental friendly and in no need for rush or anything
Don't get behind on your parking fees...
In autumn 2011, Bank Frick’s international presence was significantly enhanced with the opening of Bank Frick UK Branch in Mayfair, London.
mossad mi6 poor hair fink he never stood a chance while sitting in his hand stitched leather car seat.
This story is obviously fake. Everyone knows they have very strict gun control over there. No way this could ever happen.
Only legal guns are strictly controled, as elsewhere illegal guns abound.
What it didn't take an emBANKment this time?
Sort of feels like we are heading for a BEAR Stearns lead-up to *something*. Is the NWO crumbling from too many/much H&C?
Progress...
so now they are killing each-other in broad daylight? what the hell is going on?
makes me wonder though, all the recent suicides and deaths in the ranks, is their some kind of secret bankster war going on?
banksters putting hits out on other banksters, that sort of thing...
further still how truly well and fucked must the situation really be if it has indeed come to that?
marcusfenix
You may be right.

They are Crime Families engaged in a Turf War. There has been a great distubance in the stability of the Power Elite since the Financial Meltdown beginning in 2007.
It was a French Bank that began the lost of confidence and trust in the quality of the Mortgage Backed Securities in 2007 that was the primary cause of the collapse of the Credit Markets in 2008. Now we have CHINA???
I do not know about you but the Chinese Crime Families are much more ruthless. It is going to develop into a bloodbath before this is over.
Hmmmm...Pass the popcorn.
And...Buy the fucking dip you idiot...(sarcasm)
I'll be impressed when there are drive by guillotineings.
"drive by guillotinings"
THAT would be a neat trick!
