Senior Citi Banker Found Dead In Bathtub With Slashed Throat
The dust has barely settled on the latest high profile banker suicide in which Deutsche Bank's associate general counsel, and former SEC regulator, Charlie Gambino was found dead, having hung himself by the neck from a stairway banister, and here comes the latest sad entrant in the dead banker chronicles of 2014 when earlier today, the Post reports, a Citigroup banker was found dead with his throat slashed in the bathtub "of his swanky downtown apartment, authorities said Wednesday."
More:
Shawn D. Miller, Citigroup’s managing director of environmental and social risk management, was discovered around 3 p.m. Tuesday by a doorman in the Greenwich Street building, law enforcement sources said. “We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with Shawn’s family at this time,” said a statement sent out by Citigroup.
Bloomberg adds that "a 42-year-old man was found unconscious yesterday in the bathtub of his Greenwich Street apartment in lower Manhattan with a neck laceration and later pronounced dead, the New York Police Department said in a statement."
Medics declared him dead after responding to an emergency call about 3:11 p.m. and an investigation to determine the cause of death is continuing, police said.
Miller advised executives and clients on sustainability matters, including environmental and social policies related to industries including mining and renewable energy, according to his LinkedIn profile. He helped oversee the development and implementation of policies in more than 100 countries.
“We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with Shawn’s family at this time,” Danielle Romero-Apsilos, a spokeswoman for the New York-based bank, told Bloomberg an e-mailed statement.
However, unlike previous more "clearcut" suicides, this time there may have been foul play: the Post adds that "there was no knife recovered at the scene, leading officials to suspect the death was not a suicide, and they were trying to determine who had access to his apartment."
Miller did well: "one-bedroom apartments at the building are listed at more than $1 million."
An online profile under the man’s name calls him a “pioneer in sustainable finance” and a specialist in emerging markets at the International Finance Corp., part of the World Bank. Several former colleagues told The Post that Miller was well-liked.
It was unclear why the doorman checked his apartment.

fuck him...
next!
Nope. No Mafia in banking at all!! Secret Service, FBI, FUCK YOU!!!!
Suicide. Harakiri to the neck.
This is what happens when they refuse to jump through the window or keeps nail gun ready.
Notice that it is always the "mid-level" types that are suicided, never the big dogs...
I was about to say...what's with the peons?
Fuckers need to be offed from the TOP DOWN.
Thats alot of gut to cut his throat himself - sheesh!
This is obviously a suicide. I mean, heart attack.
Ebola.
Ebolanic Homisuicidal Discombobulation
Guess someone put a smiley across his neck...
By the way shouldnt that van just said Suicided Team Unit...
Another One Bites the Dust.
Meh, another dead banker, fuck em!
I stepped in dog shit during lunch and fucked up my new kicks, that's of more concern to me than if every banker on Earth got a colombian necktie.
Never shave with a nailgun.
What do you call 1000 dead bankers?
What?
not even close to enough?
At what point are these banks just making up "Executive" positions to fill ?
Environmental and Social Risk Director ? ..... WTF is that ?
surprising that his body wasn't dumped in a nearby park
looks to me like he failed to adequately manage his social risk
""there was no knife recovered at the scene, leading officials to suspect the death was not a suicide,"
Don't most people who slash their own throats hide the knife...?
I know did when I...
Oops, already said too much again....
Thank you Santa, for an early black friday gift. Imagine a world without banksters. Even the air would smell better.
Don't look at me. I only use a nail gun.
If they didn't find a knife, he must have used a sharp icicle. They often melt before the cops arrive.
Divine intervention ?
Maybe they should rent Constantine on Netflix...its all there in the last 10 minutes.
Maybe he hopin' Lucifer would get his ass out of a sling...he saw it in a movie once.
One bedrooms in that shithole for a mil?!?! That's the real tragedy here.
I had to jump in !!!
Pencil
Point!

new age suicide and
the magical disappearing knife,
it happens more than you
might expect.
If he would've been in London he would've been safe, they're banning knives there.....
for now, they still have
tall buildings for one
to be pushed off.

It's called Schroedinger's knife...the Quantum Suicide Experience
I'll bet he hid the knife, after he slit his own throat. Very determined case of suicide. Case closed.
no mention of a near
window or search thereby.
this new generation is
amazingly adept at concealing
suicidal intentions and acts,
maybe for the insurance
payout to their hookers?
We'll miss Shawn.
He wasn't missed.. I'm pretty sure that since he can smile from the neck that they got'em..
A good start.
budumpshh!!
All these "Bankster Bonuses" going around, we might see a few of them start talking and making deals....
If we could only find some non corrupt law enforcement types to take down the statements...
OOOOPPS, bad career choice dude. Sucks to be dead.
if only.
even george h.w. bush who, eulogizing gerald ford, laughed when he mentioned oswald as the lone assassin, at least put near a thousand crooked bankers in jail in the much smaller savings and loan scandals in the '80's.
you hit a grand slam off my setup!
A good start.
Hi everybody and Fonzanoon!
Happy Fergusamnestybostononsteroidclusterfucklameduckfedappointee hunting season!
Musta been this fine group of dindunuffins that killed the banker.
Nahh. Just kidding. It's obviously another banker suicide like the two-barrel, whilrpool handgun.
Plan accordingly and Happy Holidays, bitchez.

A good start.
The important thing is that no nailguns were harmed in the making of this farce.
Quick,
Check his browser history!
Suiciding hundreds of bankers seems like a ruthless way to manipulate the "new jobs" numbers.... ahhh maybe not
There was no knife found at the scene. Whoever, or WHOMEVER, did this either wanted it to be a LOUD STATEMENT that this was a murder and that they had better keep their mouths shut....
-OR-
that they are planning to plant the weapon on another Banking Official, who may be thinking about opening his mouth, to frame him for the crime...
OR BOTH.
And as you celebrate this Banker's murder...
How secure are Tyler's Servers?
Can they trace your IP?
Can they find out who you are and where you live? (They already know.)
Wait until these "suicides" start happening to ZH members for exposing inconvenient truth.
Can you think past your nose?
Will you be celebrating then, at that time?
I already figure that I am a walking dead man.
But that is what is most wonderful...If you are already a walking dead man then, really, what do you have to lose? Once you accept that then the fear of loss disappears and they lose any smidgeon of control.
ive heard of some ZH posters "dissapearinng" ..i wonder if its some sort of actual Gulag or people just getting sck of the world ending and just riding out their years in disbelief to themselves.
I agree with you though..they know who we are or they can find out awfully easy thanks to the dragnet operations they're running out of Utah.

They disappeared because their chicken little predictions were completely wrong.
They claimed hyperinflation, we got deflation.
They claimed PMs will go to the moon, instead PMs are down 70%
They claimed that stawks were a bad investment, instead we get the biggest bull market in history.
They claimed shit will hit the fan, instead its business as usual.
I mean, what are they going to comment about, when they have been totally wrong the last six years. Those posters left because nothing happened the way they claimed these events would unfold.
Do you know what a timeline is?
There is this saying that on a long enough timeline the survival rate...... oh fuck it whatever.
A FEW may have disappeared because of your claims. VERY FEW.
Anybody whom has studied the Weimar Hyperinflation Event understands that a deflation precedes a hyperinflation.
The hyperinflation, afterwards, is subsequentially follwed by a deflation.
Currency in the Weimar Republic was so scarce that people began to circulate their own debtor's note as a currency. This happened before the hyperinflationary blow off.
Personally I believe that it is good that the SPECULATORS have left the PM markets. I have not celebrated rising PM prices. I may want them lower so that I may buy more cheaply.
But BOTH dramatic rising prices and dramatic declining prices in PMs, in the large magnitudes which we have recently experienced, as well as the ever increasing Exponential rise in the Stock Markets are indicative of an underlying and EXTEREME state of FINANCIAL INSTABILITY.
Adding into this the MURDERS of Bankers in order to cover up FRAUDULENT MALFEASANCE is also indicative of the former.
Then today's news that the FOMC does not have any plan to raise Interest Rates, and Santelli whing that there is no FORWARD GUIDANCE from the Fed so that the Market cannot frontrun and price in Interest Rate hikes is a really good indicator that THE FED HAS LOST CONTROL.
I am of the PRUDENT SCHOOL of thought.
If an Economy lacks STABILITY then it lacks the REQUIREMENT for a SOLID FOUNDATION upon which a structure can be built.
No competent structural engineer will build upon unstable ground where structures are prone to collapse.
Likewise no competent Financialist or Economist will even attempt to build an Economy in unstable Economic Conditions.
Now what is terribly sad...FOR YOU...is that I know that you know this from other posts. Therefore I cannot write off to ignorance that which is clearly DISHONEST....FRAUDULENT. You celebrate the FRAUD.
If we do not have a STABLE CURRENCY upon which to build an Economic Recovery then we are doomed. Nobody can build with fluids subject to decay with erosion and subsequent failure. Our entire Economy has been built upon such a fluid, a fiat currency, the US Dollar, the Purchasing Power which has been subject to decay over the past 100 years.
Thus the foundation has experienced considerable erosion and it is just a matter of time before the structural failure. And that is imminent.
Nobody can predict the exact moment of failure of an old rusted out bridge. But we can predict from the Empirical Evidence that collapse is imminent and keep people away from that bridge.
You tout the ever advancing Stawck Market at the same time that you predict Deflation. And yet you cannot see how inconsistent that is?
But my problem is that I know that you know better. Thus your level of complicity is much more than that of someone whom is truly ignorant. And you will pay a greater price than those whom are ignorant, Ivy Leagueer. (MIT, right?)
EPIC, Tom
Now that's good writing!
Please, elaborate.
Wrong place. Oops.
You must work in the banking industry if you are that worried.
Stop trying to control everything and just let go..... LET GO!

It's only until we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Nope. I have never worked for the Banking Industry.
But I must write that I do work against them...IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN.
The Banking Industry has stolen most everything which I owned outright. They did is LEGALLY.
If you believe the fraud to be recent well you are sadly mistaken. The fraud has been going on for many decades. It is now just being exposed to the limelight.
My dream is to see their ruin. There are none so deserving.
And I will not let that dream go.
Do not insult me again.
I'm sensing some sort of pattern here: WHAT do all these dead GUYS have in common?
ISIS.......obviously
"An online profile under the man’s name calls him a 'pioneer in sustainable finance.' "
And, yet; that was not enough to 'sustain' him.
[The Pioneers take the arrows...]
Are you zh'ers dense or what ? He obviously slit his throat, hid the knife in the basement behind the boiler, walked back upstairs, then climbed into the tube … so it would not look like suicide so his “significant other” could claim the life insurance.
Right?
The correct term is "hanged."
Hung would refer to his, ahem, manhood,
but either way, I'll take all the hangings I can get with this crowd.
< He was well hanged.
< He was well hung.
< Jump you fuckers.
< Use a rope banker dope.
I don't know. Jumping has a certain tradition behind it. But jumping could kill an innocent person on the sidewalk. Not shown: Nail gun "suicide" option.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yge311sFhC8
Hanged would refer to a human, whereas hung would refer to an object. Are banksters human? Do banksters deserve human rights? If not, they don't deserve to be "hanged.
Regardless, ES&G bullshit is just another tool for banksters and UN/WBG/IMF appendages to get their hooks into developing nations and the local levers of power and drive down the value of local equity holders' stakes. Based strictly on this clown's job title- he deserved what he got.
So...are you saying stockings can't be hanged on the chimney with care?
Sure they can,
but only if someone is still wearing them.
cuz they are usually hungry sheeps and welling to do all the dirty work in exchange for the lifestyle
Mybe he was just about ready to squeel and the top Dog has made sure that this will not happen. No problem for the top Dog, he is above the Law and can do anything he likes.
and never have looks of a money changer.
Sustainable banking. What. The. Fuck?
Sustainable, as in never bleed your victim to death.
Socially Sustainable.
Green too.
Green Banker Dead- Double plus goodness, I am smiling...
double entre'
Or maybe sustainable interest income; your victim nevers gets the thing paid off. (E.g., an interest-only debt)
That one caught my funny bone. Sustainble banking in a fractional reserve system.
I'd slice my throat (and hide the knife) if that was my job too.
pods
You gotta read the description below that shit to get the most out of it. If that don't make one's blood boil, it is a likely indicator of total immersion in advertised reality.
Sustainable banking = no fractional reserves, physical backing, and no centralization (central banks). Given the current state of our being, I say that those three things are too much to ask a pleb to understand.
Dubbelpost.
yeah, a good leftist. I read his resume, and in all wordiness, it doesn't say one thing. Some good buzzwords and causes though.
Sustainable Capitalism, of course:

He was reducing his carbon footprint to zero. Very green of him.
That's cause the top dogs are ordering the hits.
A lot of senior partners are sleeping better tonight! You can bet on that!
Dead men tell no tales.
Soon some will be sleeping with the fishes because they know too much.
The Mid-level guys are the brains of the operation, the meat in the hamburger
Indeed they are. It's seems likely he was eliminated to silence him, but another (admitedly slim) possibility, is key mid-tiers are being targeted to "encourage" others to talk. For such a strategy to work, you dont go after generals (they're too well protected), and you dont go after the grunts (they dont know enough and there are far too many of them). If you want to cripple an organization, you go after the captains, majors, and colonels. As I say, it's a long shot, but it's not a zero probability item either.
See, I'm no so quick to dance on these guys graves.
You have to think this shit through, brothers and sisters.
These guys that are accidentally getting dead lately? They are the ones you want in the stand for a RICO case. The ones you want to celebrate getting dead....ain't getting dead.
This guys may have actually owned a souls and may have been inclined to testify as to where the bear shit in the buckwheat.
I'm not entirely sure we should be happy about it.
Ummmm. Nawww. Second thought....Fuck em. Fuck em all and fuck the RICO bullshit. Let me eat each other.
Uncle RICO.
Seriously folks - we do not have a lawful govt so there will never be any real investigations into criminality. They do some phony investigation and fine the bank to steal some money from them.
Anyone in banking that might snitch would be insane. You cannot trust the govt or law enforcement.
Hey mid-level meat: when you ask for your cut, send a messenger & collect by wire transfer. And get some f'n AD&D insurance to take out your associates should they do this to you. Not one potser has squawked yet. Thats not brainy, thats stupid.
@BellyBrain
That's cuz NSA & MIC are pussies! Too fuckin chicken to challenge the hired merc's.
No kidding, they are the foot soldiers that put their name on the line when they do these illegal stuff. Once the illegality is coming into public they need to shut these guys up before they go before the FBI and start telling what they know.
A tragic addicent, a novice at shaving with a straight razor.
As a straight edge razor user, I have to say that even a "whoops" with a sharp blade, right around the Adam's apple, can lead to disasterous results. A novice can very easily hurt himself.
Could be he had a bad barber!
Sweeney Todd
Bad Day.
Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
The contract killer holding the razor was no novice. I wonder if he took a selfie?
It was a nailgun-free zone.
Jumping out of windows is sooo 1920's...
also called Defenestration, if one is "helped" out of the window
Wannabe whistleblowers not treated with welcome arms.
Slash you fuckers!
What sucks is that these are probably potential whistle blowers but in due time I suppose.
Or at least subpena recipients to leverage for state's evidence.
Hummm. States evidence. See, that's the tricky part. So inbred...where does state start and bank end?
Obviously...an open throat diverts all the air from the whistle.
Dup.
He was just trying to shave his beard, and he slipped... unfortunate, but hardly unusual... /s
Nahh....he slipped while giving himself a Brazilian.
No Harakiri. It is called "kubikiri"
it is also means fired from job but in this case literally throat slashed.
Just the beginning, Justice Squad is on the move.
Just the beginning, Justice Squad is on the move.
Sleep walking accident.
Distracted Shaving.
NGOs, IFC? That would be CIA.
He probably handled the CIA's black Citi accounts and found out stuff he shouldn't have know.
A clear case of suicide. Cut his own throat, hid the knife somewhere then jumped in the tub. A thorough investigation will confirm this next year.
The 'cleaners' must have run out of acid to dissolve his body.Damn budget cutbacks!
cut his own throat, then ate the knife, obviously.
let's see,
"emergency call about 3:11 p.m. environmental and social policies related to industries including mining. . .LinkedIn profile. . .helped oversee the development and implementation of policies in more than 100 countries. . .specialist in emerging markets at the International Finance Corp., part of the World Bank."
story posted here at "15:33" - yup, ticks all the funny-bone boxes for me!
lulz.
Maybe he was the gold guy for developing countries.
You KNOW.... like 'aquiring' their gold for Citi.
Yep, they are known for their "sustainable actions" in the gold market!!!
Keep up the good work, Citi!
Next?
Prolly a multi-million dollar life insurance policy with Citi as beneficiary.
Just Saying <MOAR PLEASE>
The cops are working on the theory that had made the knife from ice which then melted in the tub because raping and pillaging the planet can only make for good friendships these days.
Cops can be smart like that...
re: helped oversee the development and implementation of policies in more than 100 countries.
sounds like the evil twin of John Perkins
')
Yup, bogus resume, indeed.
That could be someone's kept boyfriend, but it reads more like the station chief in any embassy worth knowing about.
I don't even need the tin hat for this one.
what no nail guns around ........
I wonder if he was a registered Progressive and had to be silenced because his peers got sick of listening to his nonsense.
You know, you piss a sociopath off enough when he tells you to STFU and keep talking about saving the whales and shit like this happens.
Of course it was a suicide. He swallowed the knife before he bled out. Or slashed his throat from the inside while swallowing.
Anything is possible these days.
Maybe He Got Grubered during the Ginsu Home Demonstration
Wanted to ask someone in the know, knuks...
Anyone checked Ben's pulse.
He promised rates would only raise over his dead body, or something like that.
Thought maybe it's time to pop the bubbly;)
If the man believed in what he preached, why the fuck was he in a million dollar flat and not distributing more of his assets to the poor?
Riddle me that, Democratic Cadillac Commie Scum?
Huh?
The curious demand an answer.
Citibank being socially responsible.
Fucking bullshit
They treat their clients like serfs and can't figure out which the fuck way is up, been bailed out by the federalies about 5 times, I mean what a load of crapola
In DC we called them limousine liberals.
AH, but I digress. More to your point.
No waiting for Ben's demise because of higher rates.
We're all trudging the happy road of destiny in the Japanese model.
10 yr JGB's < 0.5%
And us being exceptional ain't gonna change that one iota
Step right up, getchur cans of 9Lives before they shrink in size and your income falls.
Sheeeit. Money for nothing and chicks for free.
Maybe it would be worth the groping from the TSA;)
He was a gummint employee.
He was a gummint employee.
maybe he was a blood donor!
re:If the man believed in what he preached,
A good question to ask of a certain gentleman who has a big spread in one of the tonier parts of Rome
No shit!
I think this may show you're right:
WTF is environmental and social risk management. The counter party risk of wearing white after Labor Day?
Protecting the world from pink/green and leopard skin design.
In Illinois, you need a state license to be an interior designer.
I couldn't make that shit up.
Could be CIA, like NGOs are. You get cover to travel around to many different countries.
"environmental and social risk management"
AKA
how best to manage the removal of the "social" (humans) from the profitable "environmental" resource extractions, aka risky profiteering! hence the World Bank, etc.
For all the commentary on how the great buy-up of African lands might impact on the rural poor, they are rarely the legal landowners. Their governments are. For a century African land laws have protected private property, but have largely limited this protection to lands with registered titles. Up to 90% of sub-Saharan Africa's land area is currently untitled. Without legal owners, these lands fall to the state.
