Another JPMorgan Banker Dies After Murder-Suicide: Chokes Wife, Stabs Himself To Death
By now, there have been so many banker-related suicides that it has become a moot point of i) tracking them all or ii) trying to find a pattern. And yet, one name continues to stand out: JPMorgan. The bank which has been most prominent among the list of "suicided" bankers notched one more casualty over the weekend when "a JPMorgan Chase & Co. employee strangled and stabbed his wife to death before turning the knife on himself, according to police who are treating the couple’s death in Bergen County, New Jersey as a murder-suicide."
Bloomberg reports the gruesome details according to which Michael A. Tabacchi, 27, and his wife, Iran Pars Tabacchi, 41, were found dead Friday about 11:30 p.m. in the bedroom of their Closter home after a 911 call placed by the husband’s father, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said in an interview. Closter is located in northern New Jersey, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from midtown Manhattan.
It wasn't a nail-gun this time. It was a knife:
Autopsy results on Sunday showed the wife died of strangulation and a stab wound to the chest while Michael Tabacchi died from a single self-inflicted stab to the chest, he said.
As his LinkedIn profile below shows, Tabacchi was an associate for JPMorgan in its global custody product unit.
This is how he pitched himself:
"Specialties: Excel and VBA is my bread and butter, I am very good and creative with data manipulation and reporting and can leverage my business knowledge to provide senior managers what is needed before asked to do so. I am also proficient with the remaining Microsoft office products (Word, Access, PowerPoint, and SharePoint)."
Full profile below:
But most eerie and disturbing is how comparable the Tabacchi double-death is to a comparable case from July of last year when as we reported not only did a JPM executive director shoot his wife multiple times before using the same weapon on himself (like now), but the tragedy also took place in New Jersey.
As IBTimes reports, Jefferson Township (New Jersey) police report that the Global Network Operations Center Executive Director, "Julian Knott, age 45, shot his wife Alita Knott, age 47, multiple times and then took his own life with the same weapon."
The silver lining: like back then, so now, the offspring of the dead couple survived the massacre.

job hazard of rollin' with the bankster zio homies
Hardly a banker with that set of skills.
It's a good start, but here's to hoping for more
If I had to live in New Jersey, I'd commit suicide too...
[PS: bio sez the guy was good at "data manipulation." Maybe he was just despondent at not getting a job at BLS instead...]
To bad cancer cant also do this!
This is how he pitched himself:
"Specialties: Excel and VBA is my bread and butter, I am very good and creative with data manipulation and reporting."
That's a baseline requirement for any JPM employee, FFS.
DATA MANIPULATION...
Give Me A Set Of NUMBERS, And I Can Present Them To You 14 Different Ways, GOOD, Bad Or UGLY.
Wonderful, suiciding banksters, change you can believe in.
Man, he is butt-fugly with a shit-eatin' grin like NEWMAN from Seinfeld.
I wonder what she saw in him?
Not really...
um, he is 27 and she is 41, wtf?
dude, you're doing it wrong.
plus her first name is "iran"?
i just don't know.
It was the banker in the bedroom with a knife, now this is getting too easy to play.
He was probably a good person when not screwing the Average Joe from the street.
A knife? WTF? The local Home Depot out of nailguns?
Probably stabbed himself in the back of the head 6 or 7 times.
Who the fuck stabs themselves in the chest?
Same fucktard that doesn't realize his fat fucking head needs a full Windsor knot and not some tiny piece of shit I tied back in 4th grade. Too stupid to go out with a bang.
Then again, plus 1 for the side boob; it's always a downer when the misses gets it too. What a waste.
Murder to look lie suicide is my vote
The guys wearing the red shirts on the away teams always get killed.
New guy Banking hint: remove all redshirts from wardrobe.
First of all, he can't write for shit. Just sayin'
Second, why don't we get the details of all these murders. How the fuck do you stab yourself to death? They're never investigated, just closed immediately. The heat must come down pretty quickly for all these local law enforcement guys to just give it up.
Thirdly, can whoever is doing this (has to be Beeks!) hang a few of them in public? that would be fun...
even at 14 years his senior, she was still dis-proportionately hot for this clown.
That caught my attention too. Men aren't supposed to date older women who can't have kids - and given how bad divorce laws are and how skewed they are in favor of women (or the richer partner) this guy was already playing with fire.
What the f*ck is a modern-day man in finance getting married for anyway? Especially to a woman who can't conceive?
"The couple’s infant son was found unharmed at the house and is staying with the paternal grandparents, Molinelli said."
Tell me, Johnny Moscow, what is it like being a stupid shithead sexist asshole who is not likely to ever "conceive" either, because you are a stupid shithead sexist asshole?
I imagine it must be awful. :-(
@ Kwality you gotta be kidding me? Sexist? Please.
The only "Sexists" out there are the misandrist Feminists who constantly put down men and try to attain female superiority over men in the US, UK etc. They have succeeded in the US now that men are approaching 40% of colleage students and make less than women out of school. Factor in divorce rape and the virulently anti-male laws out there and marriage, indeed work in the corpate space, is increasingly a bad deal for men.
What are you doing on this site trying to shame someone with lame prog-speak like sexist - LOL!! Love you u use insulting words instead of logic and reason as an argument - typical lefty prog fool
Imagine the fucking rage this guy unleashed after snapping and plunging that knife into her and then literally choking the life out of her... he must of had a really bad day.
He worked in custody. All he does is look after clients admin. He was a bottom feeder with no access to the interesting stuff.
Yeah, like assets missing from custody?
the guy is 27 years old with 11 years of work experience on his resume - ?
When I was 16, i wuz working the car wash!
But it's also a baseline requirement to be more discrete and oblique when referring to those skills (or at least used to be). That shit would have gotten me fired. Then again - he never got above "Associate" which is no different from his previous "Analcyst" position at JPM (after an obscene amount of time with the company).
#REF
"Specialties: Excel and VBA is my bread and butter, I am very good and creative with data manipulation and reporting."
That was my HS that he graduated from. We put a lot of alumni in to banking industry. Wife looks like a gold-digging piece of ass, if I was 65 or 70. I call real deal although self-stabbing is a bit far. My rationale is, if he's out of Closter, he's not FAMIGLIA. Closter aspires to be Harrington Park or Alpine or Norwood, but is none of those.
I know that the ancient Samurai killed themselves using the Hara-kiri ritual, but really... how many people are going to "commit suicide" by stabbing themselves once in the heart? It's not the most reliable nor painless method. This was yet another murder made to look (to the easily duped) like a suicide. The mystery is in the "why"... not the "who".
Well, Sherlock, I'm pretty sure he came across some "special" information in his database noodlings.
Perhaps wanted to sell that information, or was at risk of disclosing it. It's assumed that he already told his wife.
drugs dude, drugs. guaranteed drugged heavily. didn't hardly feel a thing, maybe even a blackout. thankfully he got the job done on himself. imagine coming to, in jail,
and being told what happened and not being able to kill yourself...
obviously he was NOT A SOCIOPATH.
I know of a murder-suicide at Ft Hood in 85. Guy killed his wife and then stabbed himself in the heart. Witnesses: the family the wife was staying with. Left behind: daughter, about 5 yo as I recall.
I could maybe allow for a miliary man going out like that. But this fat little piece of cheese doesn't look like he's got the balls to squish a spider. Only way I could think would be that he was *really* high on coke/amphetamines, as it takes a lot of strength to strangle/stab someone, let alone go at yourself. Hell, whatever happened to the Judy Garland cocktails? This apparently is a "little fish" but as someone else above mentioned, he probably saw something he shouldn't. I'm betting "murder, meant to look like suicide".
Guy's wife was the one in the Army, not him. He was a little guy. Not saying anything about this, just that it can happen.
It is absolutely reliable . . . if you know where your heart is.
Agreed. Makes me wonder if he was set onto it by a good "consultant," contracted on the theory that once he'd shown his seriousness by killing his wife, the "consultant" (an expert in stabbing technology) would then stab him in a surgically astute manner that he would actually survive from. Then he'd call 911, claim that a black guy had broken in, stabbed them both, and made away without detection. The usual story. Our bankster would then collect her life insurance and own the entire marital estate.
Too bad things didn't work out . . . before his last breath he realized, for a fleeting instant, that JPM had paid the professional "consultant" a whole lot more than he did.
During my years in Seattle, I hung out at the King County Medical Examiner's office quite a bit, and attended most of their death investigation conferences.
I saw virtually every known mode of homicide, but no one ever killed himself with a knife to the chest.
... no one ever killed himself with a knife to the chest
Well, it's a new trend. Anything goes as long as it makes people talking about you for at least 15 minutes... Remember the nail gun ?
Let's just say I know someone, who used to know him from earlier years in grade school. He doesn't know what happened to him, he thought it was completely random it happened. I wish I knew more.. he knew him in Catholic grade school formerly.
Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. The guy and his wife are dead. Either he did take his own life, for god know's what reason, and chose to kill his wife also, or he died at the hands of someone who wanted him silenced. In either case, we should not be judging him, muchless making jokes at his expense. RIP.
I'm not ! Ever heard of karma ?
okay...I get it...but this is ZH, it's not a "we're sorry for your loss" Hallmark card to his mother. So, I'm appreciating the wit, and figuring....his family isn't coming to ZH for comforting thoughts.
Yeah, Capt. We know who really should be ashamed of themselves, and it ain't us poor truth-searching bastards.
"Dead (kids) tell no tales."
Maybe the police wanna get out ahead of these things. "If you don't know you don't know."
Does it count that I looked at her cleavage?
Gold Bitchez...I pick up pennies
Hey captain, shove it up your ass. These fucks have destroyed more lives that your simple mind can even comprehend. You want to be respectful? Show your respect for the retired single women who haven't seen an increase in their social security or interest on their savings in years, while these fucks keep living it up like they've earned it. Go fuck yourself, you stupid douche
It's good to see Flounder had a good life and some sucess after college.
Yes but average price of house in Alpine-Closter area is 2 mln $ and not mongolian tugriks so I do not knbow how somebody with that skillset could afford this unless parents gave money. Knowing excel? Really - I didn't know that qualifies for Banker these days
Much less Office... Where I come from, adding that to a resume might be suspect. Those "office" skills are mostly assumed...
Stabs himself to death.
Sure.....
Y'all gotta be kiddin' me.
Well it's kinda tough to choke himself to death too.
And good thing NJ has such tough gun laws, huh!?
Anudder Joisey greezzeball, wah? An' shez ad such nice bozoomies. Whadda wastea woman.
I think it's moar like she stabbed him while he choked her then grabbed the knife from his chest and stabbed her.
Sheesh.. I'm turning into Columbo!
It can be done:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQfbJuBLDak
ya really, get the fuck out with that lie. it's like they are not even trying.
There’s plenty of people who stab themselves, shoot themselves with a drone, drive themselves over with their white van, tell their wife their ass looks fat in that pants...
Oh, my God, I think I know that guy.
Did he drive an IROC-Z?
They said Closter, not Lodi #knowyourNJshitholes
The intersection of 440 and Communipaw Ave. Jersey City NJ.
Skills?
No kidding - this guy was one step up from admin assistant, hardly a representative of the evil inner circle. More clickbait.
His job was Excel, maybe he had to work on some interesting sheets.... Maybe he contacted a journalist in order to leak it, sadly all journalists are minions.
I knew the deceased when he was in middle school.
I think it was more likely about his father.
Mr. James M. Tabacchi, also known as Jim, serves as Chief Executive Officer and President at South Street Securities Holdings, Inc. (formerly CMET Finance Holdings, Inc.). Mr. Tabacchi joined Citicorp/Citibank in 1980. Over a period of 19 years, he has worked in various customer interface and business head positions within the Investment, Corporate, and Consumer Banking Divisions. In 1987, Mr. Tabacchi became the Regional Business Manager for the Northeast Division of CitiCorp. Mortgage, Inc. In 1989, he was a Division Financial controller in Citicorp's North American Investment Bank. During 1990, Mr. Tabacchi was asked to manage the day-to-day operations of Citibank's Municipal Trust business, while revamping the product lines and packaging the business for sale, which was completed in 1992. He then joined the Finance Desk in 1992, and was named Treasurer of CitiCorp. Securities, Inc. in 1995. As Treasurer, Mr. Tabacchi initiated an off balance sheet engineering effort to securitize Citicorp's fixed income business. In 1998, he was given additional responsibilities as co-head of the Primary Dealer desk, and he was accountable for over $50 billion in Securities Assets, Mortgage Loans, Reserves, and Placements. In addition, Mr. Tabacchi was responsible for expanding the Structured Finance Group, which had become the cornerstone of Citibank's fixed income business plans prior to the Citicorp-Travelers merger. He serves as a Director of South Street Securities LLC. Mr. Tabacchi's NASD certifications include Series 7, 63, 27 and 24.
That is a WAY more interesting resume.
I got a buddy who knew him back in grade school, was a good friend of his then. He thought it was just random it happened, maybe from pressure
Warning shot for the father. Or would it be a warning stab? or a warning murder-suicide? either way keep your mouth shut. There's a shiny new nail gun back at the office with your name on it.
This guy was all support and operations. The 41 year old chic? That's interesting.
If I had to program in VBA I think I might off myself too.
It has its uses. Not that I didn't run from them when they became known.
Well allow me to retort! Banking is a very, very comprehensive set of services these days. Banks can virtually do everything..........they want
85% of Murder Suicides choice of weapon is a gun, almost no history of stabbing your self.
Strangle wife and hang yourself also popular. See attached.

"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many griefs." 1 Timothy 6:9-10
Looks like they are picking up the pace :)
Well isn't this embarassing?
I am very good and creative with data manipulation
Hired!
I am vewy good with calculation
How many people actually stab themselves?
I just can't get my head or knife around that one.
Exactly...Only the Japanese commit hara kiri with a knife.
The lesson? Keep quiet and don't threaten to tell the truth about what is going to happen this year. Or you might trip on your own power tools and accidently shoot a .38 caliber nail gun into the back of your head.
7 times.
Those nail guns really should come with some kind of warning label... "may induce suspicious suicide at any moment".
Also ask yourself this, when have you known a banker or any of these pencil pushers to actually be handy men??? I bet 90% of them never even owned a fucking nail gun ^^ . . .
Whats next??? "banker suicide by snow blower"? "A Banker this week has tied himself to a tree and committed suicide by snow blower", in other news a few accountants ended up falling into a wood chipper, and by coincidence 3 finance ministers of small foreign countries ended up hanging themselves off their 3 story balconies" and in other news, JPMorgan reports record gains and "zero" losses for the 9000000th quarter in a row despite allegations of funding domestic and foreign terrorist cells, but enough of all that, now for our 3 hour special of HYPNOTOAD.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk7PMSzY00U
"when have you known a banker or any of these pencil pushers to actually be handy men?"
Yesterday I saw a tow truck operator change a flat tire on a Mini Cooper while the owner looked on - he was in his mid-20s. Unbelievabla.
Yes but the owner of the Mini-Cooper saw the word "metric" and thought that it was Belgian so he called for help.
Wood chipper, wood chipper, holy holy
Sometimes the stars just don't line up in the 3 strikes rule:
.
1. You know too mucking fuch,
2. You've slipped a bad comment on momentary impulse at an office party, and
3. You lack bankster clan protection.
Three strikes and "You're Out!" Forever. RIP.
How about you made the wrong comment in a phone call to a buddy? Or to your wife in the living room?
Or you made the wrong comment in front of your Samsung Television!?!?!?!?
Not my 55 inch samsung. It's against me now?
Bastards!!!!
I want ^ as wallpaper.
My girlfriend knew him. He was 27 and his wife was 41. They were seemingly happy, with no money issues or big problems. Looks like homeboy stumbled upon some things he shant have stumbled upon.
JPM has been breaking the law for a couple of decades. I found out about their PM manipulation and suppression efforts in the mid to late 1990's. In other words, you don't have to "look far" to see the ongoing crimes being committed by them 24/7/365 days a year.
Their whole worldwide operation is based on lies, fraud, bribes and corruption.
"Their whole worldwide operation is based on lies, fraud, bribes and corruption."
In other words: they're a business-as-usual bank.
i bet it was an Accident!
He probably slipped in the shower, the butter knife flew out of her hand hit him in the chest 19 times, she went to help him and somehow the shower curtain strangled her.
If you look at the govt report, that will probably be the most likely story, probably written by the same people who wrote the 9/11 reports <.<
The butler did it, with a knife, in the living room.
No where close to being enough motherfuckers. This fucker actually states that he is good at "data manipulation", what the fuck? The youth is fucked, big fucking difference between analysis and manipulation. Stupid fucks.
Retribution must be paid.
Wifey paints her cheeks w gold dust. Typical.
A mighty well preserved 41 as well, unless it is a typo and the digits are swapped.
What a lovely looking pair of assholes.
LinkedIn is a bigger narcissistic circle-jerk than Facebook.
Glad you said it. LI pics of proficiency remind of me getting merit badges in boy scouts. However, LI pics are much easier to get and are ridiculous.
notice the line in his description.....?
"i'm very good at Data manipulation...."
Not good enough, apparently...
Pardon me Tricky Dick, but Linkedin is "the faggiest Goddamned thing I've ever seen."
At leat they let his kid live. That's uncommonly kind of the Mossad death squads.
Also, that's quite a résumé he boasts. No! Excel and Power Point!? Can he also touch type and breathe unassisted? (Well, not the last one anymore)
Stabbed himself to death. Not easy, not even smart, if you want to make sure you die. He couldn't afford a nail gun, I guess, or a shitgum, either.
He probably tried to strangle himself to death, and then his analytical mind kicked in.
How many times did he stab himself in the chest?
Evidently, a suicide.
A single stab wound to the chest, fuck me he knew how to top himself
with one attempt. More holes than Swiss cheese.
"Excel and VBA is my bread and butter..."
The world was taken over using outdated microsoft products.
They killed themselves not cause he was a bankster but cause he lived in NJ...
Grew up there actually an Awesome all American Town. Not the stereotypical NJ as portrayed in media.
No Snookies? Whzza town in daJoisy widouda Snookie, huh?
South Jersey was the only nice territory in the state. The demarcation line was Barnegat Bay in Central NJ. Now the rift has moved south
Closter WAS beautiful and cozy, with lots of cute, well-bred girls living in not-too-big houses, before the McMansions descended from space and shoehorned themselves into narrow streets and flat wooded lots, issuing down from the Mothership Fed.
Stabbed himself? seriously? Even Shogun had a difficult time with that, and he doesn't look like any kind of shogun to me.
No love for the bankers but at least their kids survived unarmed/ Not unlike the NBC dude that pulled back the curtain and had his nanny kill his wife, kids, and then herself.
I'm starting to think the issue is that thse banksters live in New Jersey and has nothing to do with banksterism. Hell, I'd kill myself if I lived there too!
I'm starting to think the issue is selection bias (mixed with a bit of unbecoming Schadenfreude).
If you were to look instead at the set of all restaurant owners, all physiotherapists, all auto mechanics, etc., you'd be certain to find a few murders and/or suicides every month as well. As for JPM, if you were to take any company with over a quarter of a million employees, guess what?
Remedial reading: "How to Lie With Statistics", by Darrell Huff.
I agree. It's probably millions of employees across all of these banks. And we already know banking selects for psychopaths. That's enough for some pretty good frequency.
I might not have expressed myself very well there. By "selection bias" I didn't mean that banks select for people who are likely to commit murders/suicides - though recently there have been a couple of studies and books about the prevalence of psychopaths in various fields.
I meant, rather, that ZH seems to be focusing (rather gleefully) on murders/suicides committed by people who work in banking, while ignoring similar acts committed by people in other occupations, thus making it appear that bankers are particularly prone to this sort of thing. It's a bit like being told that there are a lot of green cars in this city, and then being surprised at the number you see on the road every day. The reticular activating system at work (or so they say).
If the point is to make bankers look like a murderous and/or suicidal bunch, fair enough; go for it. But to be convincing you'd need to show some decent statistics, not just a few lurid anecdotes.
My condolences to the JPM Family.
They will be missed in a profound and material way, no doubt.
Maybe possible insurance cover will make up for the loss.
"Key Man" policies on 80,000 employees. That's a lot of keys. No wonder they are so fucked up?
JPM as beneficiary natch'. Not a new game by any means.
He was 27 and his wife was 41. Just the age difference is unusual or is that a ZH typo?
Don't hate on the MILF lover dude
41 was her chest size
She must have been his teacher
So what does that tell ya' about mythical stability of mother figures?
Married 9 months with an 18 month old baby
what strikes me is how utterly below average all these pukes are. fat, greasy, flabby, stupid assholes.
He was a bit of a doughy fck.
those manhattan maggots would like us all to believe they are smarter, prettier, better that's why they are worth so much damn money. nothing could be further from the truth. they are all just a bunch of stupid disgusting greaseball tony soprano types.
well yes, good observation
Brain Willaims must have been busy
Actually, he tried to stab Williams too, but Williams jumped out the window just in the nick of time, and the well-aimed stab continued its arc into the dude's chest.
Who collects the JP morgan insurance money? The kids or the morg?
another JPM banker and a former MD at MS died on that train wreck last week.
these two offed. period.
interestin' thing 'bout train wreck deaths is nobody has been able to explain why that suv was just stopped on tracks. very mysterious with 2 bankers being in leading (exposed) car.
VERY few plebs know that companies have Life Ins on their employees, which makes the Company the Beneficiary.
Often these policies remain in place for a period of time (weeks to months) after the employee leaves.
BTW, they also have Abduction/Hostage Insurance. Maybe the various journalism companies had them on the reporters who "lost their heads" in ISIStan. Wouldn't put it past their CFO and HR guys.
If that guy's smile was any more fake looking, I'd think he had it implanted.
With all that money, you'd think he could get a better looking trophy wife too. This guy was obviously a 'back bencher'/2nd stringer.
what money? this guy was low on the totem pole
I sure wouldn't call a 41 y/o milf a "trophy wife" except for Halloweenier
It's entirely possible he is the trophy here, based on the age gap.
With all the gentle wristslaps from the Dept of Justice, you almost wonder if these bankers are being 'iced' because they DIDN'T DO something unethical. Certainly the act of placing huge losing bets, or robo-signing, or outright fraud does not seem to get any bankers into trouble.
The only other thing I can think of is that these guys are laundering drug money and tried to take an extra 'cut'.
Am I the only person posting dick pics on LinkedIn?
I try to read what they do for a living and my eyes glaze over. These banksters are so shady, look at this big plus on his resume-
"data manipulation and reporting and can leverage my business knowledge to provide senior managers what is needed before asked to do so."
"I'll be a good crook, so good you'll have plausible deniability, boss.
