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.

Has the nailgun already been arrested?
If a nailgun with several nails doesn't raise questions, then a cut throat without a knife probably will do.
Someone obviously is sending messages.
That globalist Ziomedia has been ignorant and silent about it indicates that they are not worried about it (and not interested in making any sensationalism out of it).
Now what is the message?
STFU and GBTW
or...
Kill yourself now and avoid the rush.
If a man is going to cut his own throat it would be easier to use a razor blade than a knife, and that could have easily been chucked down the drain before he bled out.
Now what is the message?
Blood bath.
a “pioneer in sustainable finance”
While exploring the FED's lush Fantasy Island, he discovered that dollars do indeed grow on trees.
Hmmmm.
I wonder if this will ultimately be ruled a suicide, like those who repeatedly
shoot themselves in the head with a nail gun.
I might be suicide. Perhaps he knew too much, knew there was no point going to the regulators and knew he would soon be suicided (with his murder made to look like a suicide). So he decided to reverse it around and make his suicide look like murder.
- family gets his insurance,
- his enemies get scrutinized.
- his enemies think that their own people are doing hits not sanctioned by the Commission and that gets them distrusting each others loyalty (and whacking each other before they get whacked).
- he gets to die quickly and with a face that can have an open coffin.
"here comes the latest sad entrant in the dead banker chronicles of 2014"
Well, my day just got a little brighter!
For the first guy mentioned....with a name like Gambino......whaddaya expect? Bada-Bing !
For this guy in the bathtub......so he was the head of "Social Risk" at Citi. Well.....he wasn't very good it seems.
Aww, people commit suicide by slashing t heir own necks all the time; I don't suppose it's anyt hing to worry about.
heartless f@cks all of you...like if you had his ability, qualifications and connections to be in his position, you would do better.
What makes you think any of us want his ability, qualifications, or connections...
At some point, when the paycheck is big enough, you stop caring about ability and qualifications. The connections follow...
i see. you're on this chatroom while you're making girlscout cookies
Apparently we're even more so. He's dead and we're still typing nasty remarks about how we don't give a fuck that some douchebag banker got whacked. The entirety of the banking sector is a criminal enterprise which is fucking us in the ass on a second by second basis.
You bet we're heartless fucks.. afterall, we actually give a fuck about NOT defrauding people at regular intervals and without lube..
downarrow about to be launched until i read...."without lube"
all good
I don't think we've had a throat-slicing yet.
5 points for originality and 10 points for daring gore.
@Kaiser Sousa,
I have had 4, count'em 4 gut busting laffs today & this was one of them.
Alleviating Poverty???
Everything is upside down & backwards.
Kaiser, I would normally (knee jerk) agree with you, but this young fella was useful to the bank... until he wasn't.
I say this because I know what it's like to be "suicided" by a company once they have all they want from you. I was never in banking tho', so I'm still here to type this reply.
Was it Anonymous, ISIS, Russia who iced this young man? Prolly not. More likely it was his own bosses.
This reminds me of that Veritas Capital dood awhile back who strangled himself to death?
Never heard of that one before.
A short time prior, his outfit had sold an intelligence unit to BAE Systems, and the dude there who was integrating their files into BAE, came across some really weird shit, and brought it up with his wife, who mentioned how perplexed her hubby was while she was at work.
Next, husband is supposed to have shot his wife and son then killed himself.
Veritas Capital, under the now strangled-to-death, Robert McKeon, had mad substantial and extraordinarily profitable defense industry investments just weeks prior to 9/11/01.
Veritas Capital was also the owner of record of a Raytheon subsidiary they had purchased, which had a number of remote piloting software/hardware developers spread on several of those ill-fated airliners involved in the attacks on 9/11.
Small world, huh?
Crazy world out there..soon.. nowhere is safe..

"Several former colleagues told The Post that Miller was well-liked."
Well, maybe not so much by non-bankers...
yeah , the #1 suspect will turn out to be the husband.
Holy Shit! We got a Cutter!!!
Exactly, how much water was in the tub???
We got Nailgunner's, 'Jumpers', One Inch Water Puddle Drowners, now Cutters... ALL DIED OF A HEART ATTACK.......
They're not even making the effort to pretend suicide anymore. Must be a disturbance in the Force and someone shoring up a loose end.
Miffed
Actually, betcha it was a transvestite pickup or sumptin' like that gone wrong.
Oddly enough, in New York,
that's the obvious answer.
Close. The guy was a fag. His boy toy called the cops and told them something was wrong because he failed to show up somewhere. A male was seen oncamera going in with him and leaving without him (duh!). And finally, the knife was found underneath the body.
In the old days of police radios instead of computer broadband, they had acronyms they used for socially unacceptable language. TNA = Typical Nigger Action. TFA was Typical Faggot Action, which is what we have here. High society homo goes out and picks up anonymous dangerous guy to play with. Anonymous guy turns out to be more than dangerous; he turns out to be downright deadly, probably because he was turning a trick he really didn't want to turn. Who knows, it's TFA.
Listen Miffed.
Funny thought crossed my mind while reading the comments above.
Here, so many Zero's complain about "MY" comments and what is showcased above is nothing more than shit comments galore.
I mean absolute childish, shit comments galore! Failed attempts at humor, failed attempts at anonymously poking fun at your murderous, criminal bankers and governments killers.
My question to you, if you can handle it because it does require some reflection, why are there so many hypocrites on The Hedge?
Can you handle it?
Listen curry breath,
You're next!
Listen.
Exactly what I'm talking about. A little keyboard cunt. Show yourself tough guy, follow through. For once.
Listen.
Pop in some Bollywood and quit whining, you're turning into a laughable internet tough guy.
Listen.
You're a spineless cunt. Backed into a corner with your threat and that's how you reply? Typical.
Bangalore,
Why do you care? I am asking you a straight up, sincere question. I will check back. I am just talking, not teasing, not performing, just asking.
Bangalore Equit... OK Obama poster child. Enjoy the gallery.
Putin manhandles Obama in Moscow's propaganda art gallery
Listen Bangy, it took me awhile to 'get' you, but now that I do, how long will it take for you to catch up with me and the ones I banter with?
Can we handle it? You bet your ass we can. Can you?
I don't mean to be adversarial, but you need to know that I will always and ever beat your stupid ass to a pulp if you cross me.
Are we clear?
Well, BE if this is your honest assessment it seems to me you have a couple of choices. One, you can seek out other sites more worthy of your wisdom and prospective or two, you can become a trailblazer here and lead all out of the hypocritical childish comments realm into the world of rational argument.
If you really stress your synaptic function you may be shocked and enlightened to realized you made a childish comment yourself but that may take a few iterations of reincarnation so be patient.
Generally there is not too much on ZH I cannot handle. Even insufferable little pricks with delusions of their own importance really are just gnats that eventually fade away into the night.
Miffed
yeah, heart attack. reminded me that:
NYC WOMAN ON EBOLA WATCHLIST DIES BLEEDING FROM MOUTH, AUTHORITIES SAY “HEART ATTACK”am i the only one missing all the daily ebola porn? and somehow ebola's disappearance from the media radar concurred with the inauguration of the ebola czar. i'm sure there's no conspiracy.
I got your back on this one. I google ebola about every other day or so and indeed there is a lot out there. Dead docs, the guy in India, the numbers rising, the drama is still there, but you have to look around for it.
i hear you. allow me to share a link to a site which satisfies my daily need for ebola news. i found it on zh from another poster back when the mainstream media was still reporting on ebola. it's just amazing how the media coverage can bend the reality.

Where is Charlotte Corday ?

That put a smile on my face.
A big what if...but what if he was a whistleblower or a good guy as it were?
Thought did cross my mind. But it looks like he was in the "game" for sometime.
God will judge at the end of the day.
Gottah be in the game to have any dirt. Again, I could be totally wrong...but it should be considered before we start launching a parade.
I agree. The whole problem with this is that folks like us are so angry that we might shut down avenues from sources like this that might be helpful because we will burn them at the stake before we listen to what they have to say that might be helpful.
About time the occupational health hazard of bankers was raised.
If we make banking, law and politics as hazardous as Alaskan crabbing and all this bullshit stops.
Social risk management.
Riiiiight.
global warming
global warning
+100 LOL
What I feared that could be happening, it might be actually happening.
Bank lobby seems not to be surrendering in peace. Some assassinations could be needed. Poor man.
Well, history never changes. Humans never change
Right - neither the criminals nor the sheeple ever left Stoneage.
What you fearfull for EKM my friend?
You do realise they ruined people like me? And continue to do so? Its us little fuckers that make the world turn mate, why would you be frightened by this?
Death doesnt frighten me mate, the thought of retrebution, and what I am really capable of does. I dont know if I could stop, if started.
These bastards have destroyed not just me, and folk I know and love, but countless others around the world from, since and continue as of 2008? You dont think these bastards deserve a bit pay back I presume then?
These outright criminals wearing suits frighten you? Fuck the hench men, you think they will want to know do you? Really?
Fear? I am so past that stage it makes me laugh. Come and fucking get some then.
What in fucks name does it take some of you to get angry eh?
Come on then.
;-)
Cunts
What's your story mate?
Fucking A!
Those cocksuckers pillaged the third world, then pillaged the west and are trying to get us to turn on each other by blaming migrants.
It's not about winning. It's about retribution.
He's afraid the bankers will be replaced by the military. With a coup, martial law, fascist state, "papers please". The whole jackboot fashion thing.
Personally, I'm troubled about how and why jackboots got out of fashion.
But the whole fascist thing, dude, we're almost there already.
96, I'm scared for my relatives. It is my opinion that we're on the cusp on extinguishing people's thoughts, their plans, you know. The base or standard on which they all made their (financial) decisions. I'm so scared for them that I don't talk about what I know. For if I did, I'm quite sure they would get the shock of their life. I share your thoughts. But no solution exists anymore, except for those in the know to wake up as many people as possible. Precious metals are good, and that's my Way of getting my relatives out of dodge. It provides a new clean (mental) standard. Something to look forward to. Confidence is so fragile.. The fact that this has been going on for so long only is a sad indicator of how the people are still confident to perceive the government as their allmighty back stop. Hey, I'm also fighting mad. Really mad. But many still don't get it. I've been trying to assess the cost-benefit thing about the system crashing. Pfff, I dunno. I totally agree, but this is all quite fragile, right?
@Itm96
With ya limey. Nothing like losing everything important to you to whip Maslow's heirarchy in order lightening fast.
You can be afraid of losing your money till hell freezes over...
When you got nothin, you got nothin to lose.
These bastards are after your family...
Rape your kids & steal your moneyl
Must be out of nail-guns in NYC.
An American, not US subject.
Moment of silence for the guillotines denied.
On entirely unrelated news "Nailgun prices skyrocket".
The hidden hand of the market in action.
Onward!!!
*******
Perhaps 'the good life' ain't all it is cracked up to be...
Do you want a Meeelioun dollar apartment? Or would you like to be alive?
Bathtub. Sounds professional.
Yeah.
The doorman got suspicious when the Home Delivery Guy wanted to Bring 15 Gallons of Sulphuric Acid to his Flat.
He planned to dispose of his own body after cutting his throat and ditching the knive off-site.
is it wrong that this news made me smile?
like a big shit eating grin, chesire cat smile...
"Sustainable Banking".... always have to watch what these fuckers do not say. Especially posers like this guy, who talk about healing the world while they rip everyone off and destroy it.
He'd be happy to know he's being recycled.
Faith without works is dead
Leading by example
A man of character and inspiration to his peers
Fuch Knuk's it's green & all...
It's hard to feel sorry for any of these rotten cocksuckers. They know what's going on.
Starting to remind me of the movie The Firm lol...
Didn't read anything about buttplugs which makes me feel like this one might be more financially motivated than sexually.
is there a body count of these guys?
Snuff job.
Banker suicides are saving taxpayers a lot of money in prosecution costs.
Always enjoy the optimistic perspective.
The lack of physical security investments these guys make continues to amaze me.
We slashed some folks
Tragic accident I'm sure. Slipped and fell in the bathroom and his throat came unglued ;)
Is there a line item on the balance sheet of these banks for "Life Insurance Proceeds"?
"Extraordinary Gains/Losses" (Income Statement)
There.. that was his 'problem'
"Poverty alleviation"
"Poverty alleviation" is just a pretty name for genocide.
Ouch! Not even double speak.
Ouch! Double speak.
Slaves are forbidden to own property.
Why all the secrecy? What could be the worst thing in teh world at this point? MSM is still yakking it up like it ain't no big deal as long as the market (investments) are maintained.
I had a dream. In that dream, I was a slave in a very hot warehouse, sitting at a sewing machine. I was 26 years old and this was in 1983. In this dream, there was a armed man at the door who did not speak English. In the dream, I knew rather than saw, Americans trying to run away but were stopped at a cyclone fence around a super highway. They could not cross and were huddled there trying to hide but the vegetation had been killed with herbicide and all the trees were cut down and there was no where to hide. In this dream, I also knew rather than saw that 50 story high rises were in place and that is where we lived. We, as a group, cut out the top of every clost and the bottom of every closet which were in same place floor after floor and placed ladders there and that is where we hid or tried to go to other places when they came for us for whatever reason. I also knew that I could not speak the language of the people who were telling me what to do.
When I was at the ware house in my dream, a man came to the door and talked to the guard. He was accompanied by another woman. The guard came in and motioned for me to come to him. When I was outside, the man told me that I could leave now, as I was a Canadian. In my dream, I was standing in the middle of this land without ability to communicate to people due to language barrier. I was unable to read the signs and had no money to travel. It was the loneliest feeling i have ever experienced.
I believe that this dream was a message and rather than dismiss it, I am asking, no BEGGING, for you people to realize you are all in danger. Especially the children.
I have been expecting a huge "data dump" from one of these bankers to suddenly appear or be published after death.
Like an insurance policy being cashed in.
Putin and Russia did it, says Porkyshenko!
Damn right it was him! The truth will come out soon!
And that woman was wrong all those years ago when she said "a dingo ate my baby!!!"
These days she could just scream "A Putin ate my baby!!!" and the MSM would have a field day
On the off chance the assassin reads Zero Hedge:
Keep up the good work!
Clearly, Blankfein is a serial killer and intent on knocking off the competition.
Hey folks. HAve some respect for life. Defer judgement until more is known about this guy.
The description "Senior Citi Banker" is enough for me.
This is the template for bankster justice. Hang 'em all. . . high.
The senior, the higher.
He was a banker. Anyone who sleeps with dogs shouldn't complain about catching flees.
A man is known by the company he keeps.
It's about the predatory system not the the guy.
He was probably trying to feed his family like the rest of us.
Was he even aware of the evil in which he dwelled at age 42?
Maybe...maybe not. That's not for us.
I will give you this:
If he was really into a twisted version of his envoronmental sensitivity, and pissed off by what he saw, and ready to narc the fuckers out, and killed for it, this would indeed be tragic.
I have to say "twisted" because you are fucked up if you think you can be run by a "profit motive at all costs" kind of corporate logic, and not exploit some envoroment or some folks, you are OTL and out of touch if you think you can pull that off.
I get a kick out of Derrick Jensen for this. He says if you don't like what they are doing to the envioronment, let them know that you know where they and their families live.

Professional hitmen are a tidy bunch - slashing his throat in the bathtub so all the blood goes down the drain. Can't get blood on those $2000 shoes and being professional, they always strive to leave a clean "work area"...
I can't believe the author of this piece actually wrote:
"Unlike previous "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" ???
It's one bright Sherlock, this one.
Things are not always as they seem. In this case, the author is probably wondering what story the police will cook up to claim it was suicide.
[A young man - Mark Duggan - was shot and killed by armed police in London a few months ago and the police swear he had a gun in his hand at the moment he was shot, thereby claiming that he was shot in slef-defence. But no gun was found adjacent to his corpse on the street. A gun was found more than 30 feet away in long grass across the other side of some railings, indicating that he threw it away before he was shot.]
Anyone check his out of office message yet?
Work for Satan, die by Satan.
Feel the tenderness of Satan's splinter-y cock for an eternity. I think I can hear his screams . . . of joy.
Hmmm, sounds like a good time to pick up a little more .308
I'd do it before Friday if I were you.
How do you slash your throat with a nail gun?
Requires that the nail have a very tangential trajectory I suppose.
Hey!!!! It said that no knife was found at the scene. How presumptuous. Are only knives used when slashing throats? Of course not. If it said no nail gun was discovered at the scene, then I would suspect an outside party - say Vikram Pandit - of taking revenge.
Be a man! Polonium-210.
This sure sounds like an "assisted suicide"
More likely he slit his own throat and then swallowed the knife.
Kung-Fu Master.
Amazing what can be done with a human nail...without the nailgun.
Never know he could have done it quick.
Or someone should be looking for the Alien slough-sack nearby.
or maybe a Predator.
Something wicked comes.
All speculation.
Where there is a doorman, there is 24-hour video cameras and monitoring. Perhaps there will be a culprit found for this crime.
Obviously he just reached out the bathroom window, grabbed a pisece of ice catalyzed with Al Gore global warming, slashed his throat with it, and then it melted away.
The guy was an environmentalist, right? New York is freezing, right? Global warming is proven to be a farce. He had no future and was depressed.
Now that I have thought about it more, I am sympathetic.
Hey!!!! You have to figure all of those green investors are pulling their funds from the enviro mutual funds with the global cooling?
Hmmm. Maybe the guy was long temperature futures for the winter months. Wouldn't be the first time. Remember when Brian Hunter of Amaranth went long hurricanes via natural gas after the Katrina and Rita storms the year before?
Was he's cock intact?
Quick Watson! The game is afoot! His pecker was found preserved in Moriarty's dirty laundry hamper in Gstaad!
Listen Zero's.
Observe all the excellent inspirational comments on The Hedge.
I'm in awe.
I'm losing track of how many - is there a running tally list on here anywhere (with real-time updates)?
Would starting a 'dead pool' be against ZH policy?
Sounds very consistent with "Fight Club".
No Mention of the Hooker leaving the door man a Big tip, with the Tip off.

Clearly hari Kari with magical invisible knife....just tragic.
it appears from his resume', he had it coming in spades, he was the tip of the spear for economic screw jobs that included muder of indigenous peoples.
Fuck him I hope he's burning in hell
One thing- it wasn't the Colombians. They always pull your tongue out through the cut so it makes a nice necktie for ya.
This looks fairly kosher.
How well liked can you be if someone slashes your throat?
If someone slashes your throat it's a pretty good sign that the bad guys didn't like you.
There we have it. He cared about poverty alleviation, the ultimate crime in bankster land.
Just when I thought the misanthropes and hatred were gone, here it is back again on this post.
Could have been a jealous faggot lover, or some bimbo he was impaling with his pork sword...most of these people are degenerates
