"Riddles" Surround 36th Dead Banker Of The Year

Tyler Durden's picture




 

52-year-old Belgian Geert Tack - a private banker for ING who managed portfolios for wealthy individuals - was described as 'impeccable', 'sporty', 'cared-for', and 'successful' and so as Vermist reports, after disappearing a month ago, the appearance of his body off the coast of Ostend is surrpunded by riddles...

 

Tack disappeared on November 5th...

Impeccable. Sporty. Cared for. Successful. Just some qualifications that are attributed to the 52-year-old from the Belgian Geert Tack Haaltert.

 

 

Geert Tack worked as a private banker for ING and managed portfolios of wealthy clients. The Belgian had a lot of respect in the financial world and was known as an up and top professional. His sudden disappearance was also smashed like a bomb. "If Tack himself was having trouble he has managed to keep it well hidden", say colleagues.

 

Nobody then could have guessed that the man would not return on Wednesday, November 5th to his wife in their villa Vondelen.

and was found dead this weekend off the coast of Ostend...

On December 3, the body was found on the coast of Ostend and removed from the water. The prosecutor confirmed today that it is Geert Tack, but it is still awaiting further results of the autopsy for the exact cause of death. The results of toxicological testing are not yet known.

 

 

The examiner states that the body showed no outward signs of violence.

As Vermist comments, he was well-liked and successful but the situation of his disappearance remain odd to say the least...

What makes the matter is that the extra mysterious circumstances under which he disappeared are rather peculiar. Tack had a few weeks earlier his car drove into each other and if the garage then take away a replacement car. Oddly enough, he made it much later, shortly before he disappeared, use. The car, a Renault Espace, has been found in Knokke, but Tack missing to date each track.

 

Also -  Why he had in the weeks before the disappearance sometimes so difficult to get to sleep? Why he did that Wednesday morning his laptop and cell phone at home?

 

Although a desperate act can not be excluded, there are also people who take into account that the missing part of a preconceived plan. From his position Tack had the opportunity to be there - whether or not forced by third parties - to run off with money from his clients. It is a hypothesis that being seriously investigated by the federal police, but where colleagues want to know anything.

 

"Something like that would never do," said one of them certainly. "Geert is a blameless man."

The examiner states that the body showed no outward signs of violence.  <-- After bobbing around in near freezing seawater for a month, a body doesn't show outward signs of much of anything except having bobbed around in near freezing seawater for a month.

Probably a lot of them.  These banks and insurance companies are apparently far worse than the Mafia.

The word gets out that you are wavering in any way and you are a dead man or woman.

At least in the Mafia you might get Paulie or Sal giving you a warning first.    The banks probably run on high octane paranoia. 

Like Joe Pesci aka David Ferri in JFK.  That kind of paranoia.

I wonder which of the well-connected bankers reading this thread is next on the list.  To that guy, I say the following:

"Ask yourself whether, at this relatively late date, you're more valuable dead or alive to them?

You may have done good work, but you're now expendable and you know it.  Isn't it time that you started looking out for yourself and your family, instead of them?"

Ah my good man, they ARE looking out for their family. They snitch, the family dies - Hell, a child of theirs might even turn up all spaced out after somehow shooting up a school or movie theater.

Another riddle and a good one.  We get the impression that he was dead for a month and that isn't the cae, if he was in the water or land whatever they wouldn't be able to tell who it was let alone what he died of.  So I think he took off with money at the behest or with the assistance of others and then later on things got crawdad and someone or someones thought it would be better with one less person and tada he's in the water.  The reason we don't know of any robbery is because the bank more than likely covered those loses and/or are hiding them for now.

Not all offshore banking clients are equal.  A guy like this would likely have sniffed at anybody with a net worth under at least 10 million--probably more.  However, the recent offshore banking laws purport to make everyone equal (as if real scofflaws even used their real names when setting up bank accounts--in what universe??? The all use corporate structures, fer Chrissakes!  And that includes the Chechens, etc., cited above, in addition to the usual corporate criminals).

You forgot, for example, real "offshore" U.S. citizens, even of the involuntary sort, e.g., the Lord Mayor of London; ordinarily quite law abiding sorts who may have just discovered they have two masters (and in his case, a huge tax bill, for selling his home in the UK, where he has always resided since the age of 5), and are soon to have their bank accounts cut off as a result. Yes, let's never forget such evil dual citizens, even if they are only 16, and never visited the US--US law has carefully kept them from ever accessing an account in their (native) country.  Too bad, kid, your Dad should never have married an American. Or the American librarian married for 30 years to her Canadian husband in Canada, with Canadian/American kids, who simply cannot afford to submit the massive number of forms now required, because her income does not permit it (Note: while her income is exempt from US income tax, it is not exempt from reporting under the enhanced offshore tax scofflaw laws, and her kids fall under the same gambit, and the accountancy fees for this sort of work are very substantial, which was, of course, also guaranteed by the new law--indeed, likely the primary reason for it).

We never did this to Winston Churchill, although we could, by all means, have done so.  His mother, Jennie Jerome (Jerome Avenue in the Bronx was named after her family), was of old US stock, and one of the first American brides to cross the Atlantic for a minor title.  Many more were to follow.  Indeed, no civilized nation has ever taxed worldwide income before. We are rivalled only by Eritrea.  Enough said.

I'm curious as to whether the perpetrator(s) are related by some way, or if these are 36 independent acts of suiciding bankers.

Independence of action would not be very satisfying. It would be.... a relief.... to know that there is some organization moving it's way through the banker ranks like a weed-whacker in slo-mo. It gives rise to the hope that slowly and surely, without remorse or hesitation, this metaphorical scythe will eventually find its way to the heads of all of the stocks of wheat in this folorn field of unknowingly-depressed bankers.

It would also be incredibly interesting to read the story that connects them all.

i doubt there is one story that connects them all...more likely, parallel stories.

big banks are paying $billions in fines for libor manipulation, gold price fixing, money laundering, mortgage fraud, etc, etc.

if a few mid-level peons who have implicating info on banks' behavior, seem likely to testify against them (or are even appoached by investigators) get whacked, it can mean $billions in savings.

I got the idea for a script a few days ago. I call it Breach Of Contract.

A man rehypothecates his soul. Many, many times over.

A successful businessman wakes one morning to find he has died. He showers, has breakfast, and waits for a knock at the door. The Devil appears shortly after to claim his soul, as per the contract. Problems arise when more than one god appears with a similar contract. Shiva, Jesus, Thor, Amon-Ra, Aries, Zeus, and even Mohammad(yea, that will cause a problem), The Gods of Rock and Roll, and many more all lay claim to the ultimate prize, The Human Soul.

I bet bankers die all the time, in odd circumstances, simply due to the statistical probabilities.  I have to admit, some of the circumstances (nail guns, falling over embankments onto highways, etc...) are suspicious, but on the whole, this constant tracking of every banker death seems like pointless sensationalism.  Half the time it seems like they aren't actually even 'bankers', they just work at a bank.  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

A lot of these bankers are all ego and their life centers around money; if he screwed up he may have just leapt from a cliff rather than have to admit a mistake and actually, gasp, work for a living!

We can't really know based off of this information.

A friend of mine is, intellectually, what I call a "scrapbooker," as he gathers information and recalls it, but doesn't actually think about any of it--no intellectual framework. Picture a guy with a large notebook filled to bursting with pieces of papers, note scraps, photos, and such. That's him, except his bursting at the seams "scrapbook" is in his head. He loves "beforeitsnews, naturalnews, nomorefakenews, activistpost," etc.

He once spent part of an evening discussing the evidence of the faked Moon landings. The next night, he spent time discussing how the Apollo missions revealed that the Moon is a hollow alien spaceship. Which is it? Fake landings, or real landings and alien spaceship? Can't be both. That's what I'm up against.

If you're gonna take action, take action against the people who are causing the grief. Just common sense. Misplaced agression is just as bad as doing nothing, maybe worse. Who do you think is offing these semi low level bankers? Robin Hood? No, it's the bad guys that have shit to hide. The ones afraid of possibly having some heinous thing they've done exposed.  Cheering these guys deaths is like sitting at a blackjack table and cheering for the dealer on the other side of the table.
