Banker Suicides Return: DSK's Hedge Fund Partner Jumps From 23rd Floor Apartment

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The summer, thankfully, has been largely bereft of the dismal trend of bankers committing suicide, but as Bloomberg reports, Thierry Leyne, a French-Israeli banker and partner of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the disgraced former chief of the IMF, was found dead Thursday after apparently taking his own life by jumping off the 23rd floor of one of the Yoo towers, a prestigious residential complex in Tel Aviv. This is the 16th financial services executive death this year.

 

 

Bloomberg reports that Thierry Leyne, the French-Israeli entrepreneur who last year started an investment firm with former International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has died. He was 48.

Leyne died yesterday in Tel Aviv, according to his assistant at the firm, who asked not to be identified. Le Figaro newspaper reported that he committed suicide.

 

Last year, Leyne joined Strauss-Kahn in establishing the Paris-traded firm Leyne, Strauss-Kahn & Partners after the former IMF head bought a 20 percent stake to help develop the investment-banking franchise of Leyne’s company, Luxembourg-based Anatevka SA. Leyne had taken Anatevka public in March 2013 before joining forces with Strauss-Kahn, commonly referred to in France as DSK.

 

The new partnership -- usually called LSK & Partners by using both men’s initials -- was part of Strauss-Kahn’s efforts to rebuild his post-IMF life after he was charged in 2011 of criminal sex, attempted rape, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and the forcible touching of a chambermaid at the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan. Strauss-Kahn denied the charges, which were later dropped. He settled the maid’s lawsuit in 2012.

And NYTimes adds,

Mr. Leyne, 48, jumped off the 23rd floor of one of the Yoo towers, a prestigious residential complex, according to Israeli officials.

Leyne's Background:

Leyne, who resided in Tel Aviv, built his career as a financier in France, Israel and Luxembourg. He founded the investment firm Assya Capital in 1994 and listed it on Euronext in Paris in 2001. Leyne merged the business with Global Equities Capital Markets in 2010 to provide financial advice and private banking to clients in eastern Europe, Le Figaro reported.

 

Anatevka, which had a market value of 50 million euros ($63 million) when Strauss-Kahn purchased his stake, controlled the merged entity, known as Assya Compagnie Financiere, offering asset management, brokerage, corporate finance and capital investment. Anatevka had a staff of about 100 people in six countries -- Luxembourg, Belgium, Monaco, Israel, Switzerland and Romania -- in September 2013.

 

In 1996, Leyne founded the company Axfin, one of the first independent investment firms in France, according to the website of Assya Capital. Axfin listed on the Paris stock exchange in 1999 before it was bought by Nuremberg, Germany-based Consors Discount Broker AG. Leyne was the supervisory board chairman of Consors France until the end of 2002.

 

Leyne was born in September 1965, according to French public records. He held French and Israeli citizenship, Figaro said. He had an engineering degree from the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, his LinkedIn profile shows.

is he the first Jewish banker to take the plunge??? Maybe all these banker deaths right from the start were a to provide a string of events which could help alert other Jews that something is about to happen...AND today is the signal as one of their tribe members took the hit. (for ekm, was this an assasination?)

Its like hes the first seal that jumps in the water and he never made it back up alive...hes the sacrificial lamb to notify the other tribemembers that the waters ahead maybe dangerous and to act accordingly.

And the devil...led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; for it is written,

He will command His angels concerning You to guard You,’

and,

On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Luke 4:9-12

 

What is it about this ploy that makes it so tempting to the chosen one(s)?  It's certainly not common sense.

On the other hand, do you suppose he scored a perfect 10?

"Watch out below!" I certainly hope no one was hurt when the creep hit the sidewalk or whatever... I've seen it happen in Manhattan: rich widower bridge champion leapt from her at Central Park South apartment, she died but gravely wounded an innocent pedestrian who just happened to be walking where she was to splat herself. The rich are grotesque even during suicide.

And for those of us playing along with all the stuff from V. Guerrilla Economist and W., just FYI: this Sacrifice/Suicide of Thierry Leyne happened just hours before the unusual Solar Eclipse conjunction with planet Venus. A solar system event like that would not go unnoticed to our Bankster cult players. (The Moon "Eye of Horus" lines up with Sun "Eye of Ra" and also line up with their Mother/Wife Isis. It is their holiest of Trinities. It is the root philosophy of Birth-Death-Rebirth and lies at the esoteric foundation of all financial alchemy.)

Jeez, he should have ben more forward thinking:

 

Guess Who’s Profiting From the Destruction of Gaza

Plus:

Israel Will Invade Lebanon; D.C. Invents New Terror Group

there's always money in giving tens of billions to Israel, giving them diplomati cover to destroy tens of billions worth of Palestinian or Lebanese schools, hospitals, UN facilities and so forth {each of them, of course, had been hiding rockets - just take their word}, then giving tens of billions more to each side - and requiring that Gaza reconstruction materials be bought from Israel...  essentially having Israel get direct loans, then get more American $ to rebuild what American $ paid to destroy.

 

It's an exciting time to be a dual citizen bankster!

PetroDollar War – French Energy Giant Total CEO Assassinated

 

Just hours earlier, De Margerie had met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at his country residence outside Moscow to discuss foreign investment in Russia. In his speech hours before the plane crash that took his life, de Margerie said U.S. and European Union sanctions on the country were “unfair and unproductive,” and that he opposed efforts to render it “isolated from the major global economic and political process.

De Margerie was a keynote speaker last spring at Putin’s annual economic summit in St. Petersburg—an event that many Western executives decided to skip—where he signed a deal with Russian oil group Lukoil (LUKOY) to develop shale oil in Western Siberia. De Margerie also pressed ahead with major Russian investment, including the $27 billion Yamal natural gas venture in the Arctic led by Russian gas group Novatek (NVTK:LI), even as sanctions against Novatek and one of its owners, Gennady Timchenko, have complicated financing.

De Margerie told Bloomberg News recently that he was “doing everything” to move the Yamal project forward, in keeping with his belief that politics and business should be kept separate. Total, the world’s No. 4 non-state-owned energy group, has said that Russia could become its largest supplier of oil and gas by the end of this decade, up from its fourth-biggest supplier in 2013.

 

De Margerie’s death removes from the scene a businessman who rarely shied away from geopolitical debates and became one of Russia’s most outspoken allies in its efforts to avoid economic quarantine, willing to say what others only dared think. Although European corporate giants from Siemens AG to Renault SA (RNO) have built close relationships with Russia, most business leaders have preferred to keep their lobbying private to avoid offending governments committed to punishing Putin.

I'd expect a few "accidents" to happen in Brazil as well.  I think many in Brazil know exactly who the major "globalist" banksters and oligarchs are and what they want.

 

Soros and the CIA Now Banking on Neves to Defeat Rousseff

 

Still, the truth is probably that this is availability bias...  probably, every year a certain amount of people in every profession, including banking/finance, die or kill themselves in accidents.  I'm not sure there is anything like a trend here - certainly few very high up people died, and one or two of the nail gun incidents involved people who werent really [notwithstanding ZH cickbait headlines] in finance at all, let alone bankers [e.g. title insurance - that's insurance, not finance, and certainly not fuckin' banking].

 

We need the Blankfeins and the Rockefellers and Rothschilds to die in mysterious car accidents in the Alps, or to have their small plane John Kennedy Juniored by the usual suspects....

Remember the string of microbiologists, something like 100 of them died mysteriously? http://www.rense.com/general96/deadmicro.html

That made no sense either; but it was easy to speculate that they knew too much about some sinister and nefarious secret project.

Now we are in the midst of a string of deaths of financial types, each of whom die mysteriously with no apparent connection to each other and no apparent connection to any scandal. What did they know and why did their deaths all appear like suicides?
