Deutsche Bank Head Of Asia-Pac Equities Loses Control Of His $580,000 Ferrari, Kills Innocent Bystander
As recently as several months ago, the financial press was surprised when a wave of Deutsche Bank employees, particularly those in the bank's legal department (such as here and here), decided to take their own lives. Now at least one Deutsche Banker, perhaps perturbed by the recent news involving the unexpected departure of his co-CEOs coupled with the even more unexpected raid of the bank's global headquarters, has decided to show the jump from sui- to homicide is a simple one.
Earlier today, Hong Kong police arrested a 48-year-old Deutsche Bank employee on "suspicion of dangerous driving and causing death." The fatal accident happened early on Tuesday at a car park near Deutsche's office at International Commerce Center, across the harbor from the city's financial district.
According to Reuters, the driver was Deutsche's head of Asia-Pacific equities trading, Robert James Ebert, 48, who was behind the wheel of a Ferrari at the time of the accident.
Below is his Linkedin profile:
Police said the arrested driver, whom it identified only as James, had said he lost control of his car. The police said a 53-year-old man, who was next to the barriers, died after suffering serious head and shoulder injuries. He was pronounced dead in the hospital early in the afternoon.
The Apple Daily newspaper also identified the driver as Ebert and said he was driving a black, HK$4.5 million ($580,502) Ferrari 458 Spider, which was in collision with a HK$2.4 million Maserati at the car park entrance before hitting a security guard.


The police said the driver was not charged. "We are investigating whether the car was driving beyond the speed limit of 30km/h at the time," a police source said.
It is safe to say the answer is yes, as a simple check of the security cameras would confirm.
Ebert was released on bail in the early hours of Wednesday and has to report back in mid-July, the police said.
Ejiinsight adds that Ebert’s car went on to sweep across three barricades and hit the guard, who was pinned to a post at the carpark entrance.
Koo was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead by 2 p.m.
Ebert and the Maserati driver were unhurt. Police said both drivers passed a breathalyser test.
Skid marks stretching 10 meters were found at the entrance of the carpark.
Ebert told police his car had a brake failure. He was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving causing death.
So guy drives a car which costs more than most Americans will make in a decade (pretax), crashes in what may have been an improvised drag race, kills an innocent bystander, and promptly posts bail and is allowed to roam, and drive, in freedom.
Meanwhile Nav Sarao rots in the UK's worst prison unable to pay his ridiculous $5 million bail, for the simple reason that he was a good trader and dared to expose the HFTs' rigging to regulators. He faces a maximum sentence of 380 years in jail.
It's ok though: when Stan Fischer and Mark Carney said bankers have to go to prison for "at least" 10 years when caught rigging markets they said nothing about bankers who engage in homicide. It appears the legal system will need a central bank explainer on how to proceed in that specific case.

At least he didnt lose control of his cellphone that he is holding to his fuckin noodle...

Texting and driving?
nope....google glasses
Hmmmm.
Did John Kerry have ferrari tracks on his ass?
Is there any crime that Deutsch Bankers *haven't* been involved with?
Whistleblowing--illegal in the US.
As a banker he probably had his car insured for 3 times its real value and will actually make money on the accident.
If you think the idea is absurd just look at the airlines. They MAKE money on air crashes and then book the profits as the "involuntary conversion" of an aircraft.
Meh, nothing little bondo is not to fix.
Robert Ebert, hmmm, are the effendi killing off the goy for sport? Not like that is any old news...remember the USS Liberty. Kind of fitting they killed Liberty. Who owns your media goy slaves? And your banking system and financial systems.
LOL...yeah, that's it...a half million dollar new Ferrari's has shit brakes at 30mph and wipes out all over the place while smooshing a bystander. Uh huh...yeah...Ferrari's are so well known for super cars w/ shit brakes.
And oh yeah, Michael Hasting's new Mercedes ENTIRE ENGINE AND DRIVE-TRAIN EXPLODED AND ERUPTED OUT OF THE CAR 150 feet BEFORE the car bumped into a skinny little palm tree and burst into white hot flames.
http://whitenoise.kinja.com/now-im-convinced-that-michael-hastings-car-was-bombed-632980340
Check the photos in that link...insane. Yeah, it's alaways the cars fault, not the idiot drivers or the CIA blowing the car up with overly well-placed thermite charges. LOL
Thermite is not explosive. it merely burns HOT HOT HOT. With so many cars having electronic throttles and accessible wi-fi entryways into the computer system(s) I would not be surprised if we later found that the throttle was remote controlled.
OK. It's time to unfriend the guy. We'll really show him!
He needs to email his info to ZH now.
Or these saboteurs will keep at him long as they figure they have any.chance of shutting him.up.
Deutsche Bank is in a scapegoated death spiral.

Hard time in a Hong Kong jail..... Ewwwwwww
What I can't understand is why someone would need a car like that in Hong Kong.
It is not like there are many places one can take the car out and stretch it's legs.
Perhaps a more frugal Aston Martin One-77, McLaren P1 or Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse would have been more appropriate.
Hong Kong, Singapore these places are stuffed with fancy cars to show off their Banker wealth. Not really useful for driving fast as you point out but it's a cultural trait there...
"Hard time in a Hong Kong jail..... Ewwwwwww"
He's a banker! Everyone knows, Bankers don't go to jail, they are jsut "asked" to pay a fine, which is usually dismissed years later.
Exactly - 10:1 that scumbag never sees the inside of a cell. Hopefully, the security guard's family is connected and Doucherino Ebert will "jump" from his high rise apartment due to the "anguish" he feels for murdering a completely innocent person ... of course, if they tried to float that story, people would know it was a lie. Everyone knows bankers don't have a conscience ....
I am afraid this HK based banker should not get the accolades for learning the sport of driving in an expensive car to kill poor people on the street.
A top Indian female lawyer from Mumbai deserves more than him...that too last night.
She drove for more than 10 kms...get this..on the wrong side of the road...while she was drunk....and then ended up killing not one but two people...
So what if she was driving a cheaper Audi......she nailed two 99 percenters...there has to be more points for that!.......sarc.

it's a simple business transaction - do you know how many parking attendants you can hire for the cost of a Ferrari?
Not if you deposit it free of charge.
Crazy
Risk abounds with banksters around. Speaking of risk,, By my quick look, current M3 in the Euro area is €10.4 Trillion Euros VS €450 Billion in actual cash circulating. In the US, M2 stands at $10.5 Trillion VS $1.2 Trillion in circulation (Tyler correct these figures if I'm off) Is it no wonder the 'elites' are seriously considering banning cash? Digital money is so new, and there is so much of it compared to physical currency it's CRAZY. Whoever (with)draws first wins.
The lock down on cash might be due to a few reasons 1) Terrorism, Drug Dealing, Assassination Squads, 2) People hiding money for different reasons 3) People avoiding taxes, Black Market Labor 4) Expensive to Coin and Print Money 5) Liquidity problems/credit crisis due to proliferation of securities 6) Punitive Actions against those that Oppose the State

You missed:
0) to allow the banksters to profit by enabling real negative interest rates.
I think it's time we started using exponential notation for government debt and money in circulation, it's getting difficult to quickly count how many digits there are in these numbers.
That would also have the advantage that the denominations of paper money wouldn't be limited to the available space on a Federal Reserve Note, Euro, etc. The government could print paper currency denominated in Centillions!
The question is easy to answer...
The banks get a percent of the electronic transaction funds as a fee (typically 3%). The bank gets little to no precentage on cash transactions.
How do you get a percentage fee on ALL purchases everywhere?
Simple.
Eliminate all cash transactions.
No need for a conspiracy even thought it sure makes this pig a bit sexier to behold...
I have to say that is very convincing Idea and I think Real Life.
Banks see themselves as the source of money, so yes they would want a percentage of all transactions.
Hear that CBS, ABC, NBC, USATODAY, CNN, Foxnews, Skynews, AP, Breitbard, Drudge report, Huffingtonpost, Washington Post, NewYorkTimes.
CIA hacked his car? Nah...
Well have to keep Deutsche Bank in line, can't have them providing criticism and proof to the Press of how corrupt US Corporations and Banking are.
"Ejiinsight adds that Ebert’s car went on to sweep across three barricades and hit the guard, who was pinned to a post at the carpark entrance."
How fast do you drive in Garages or entering Garages?
Pretty slow right.
I was thinking a remote hack as well and that he was being "suicided", until I saw he walked away from it.
Maybe he pulled off some Will Smith moves.

One has to wonder if an incident like this could be considered a potential 'trigger event'...?
Did the deceased throw himself on the Ferrari? Potentially high or something?
This is within the confines of a parking garage. Not even on the parking floor by the looks of it. Close to the exit and barriers. Driver lost control is possible but how come the guy couldn't escape the oncoming vehicle? How much speed could that vehicle have had coming out of the garage? Not a straight trajectory either and walls on both sides.
If he's anything like me, he had his headphones on cranking his tunes and never saw it coming
"which was in collision with a HK$2.4 million Maserati at the car park entrance before hitting a security guard."
30 foot long skid marks.
2 douche bag bankers racing in the fucking parking garage.
A car like that is capable of accelerating very, very quickly. And the dipshit driving probably had no idea how to handle that kind of horsepower.
I know, I drove with a friend. Older Ferrari but still quite thrilling. Fast yes. But not like a projectile. If he pinned the guy straigt to the wall at 30k, it wouldn't be game over. Lower front end also. The guy could jump the hood easy.
Very weird accident given location (parking garage in HK of all places) and the profile of the driver.
Would help to know which parkade and if the entrance is right off a major road. The banker was driving into the garage. No speedbumps before the barrier by the looks of it? Who was the deceased and why was he standing there? Was it the ticket / cashier box? Doesn't look like it.
The blood stain is on the passenger side of an incoming vehicle. The damage is to the front of the car.
Maybe WB7 can give us some insight. He's familiar with the locale.
He looks like he's uploading something into his head from the phone!
What could it be?

Keano Reeves, Johnny Neumonic, right.
On a more serious note, my heartfelt condolances go out to this poor man and his family...
I hope he gets his lovely car back on the road very soon.
Godspeed Rob.
Agreed and more tragically his poor family probably won't be adequately recompensed for what this irresponsible asshole did. I can't imagine what hubris and lack of concern one has to achieve to do such a despicable thing.
I hate it when people cause these events " accidents" because the majority are NOT mechanical failures. Unfortunately, out off all the deaths I've seen in local street races or reckless driving, rarely do the well to do see jail time. Hopefully other countries apply appropriate justice in these cases.
Miffed
Read Pliskin's comment again. I bet you'll find it funnier the second time.
He will hire the best lawyers and probably never see jail time. But Kharma is an inescpabale law of the Universe. whether is takes 1 days time 1 years time, 10 years time or 100 years time or even in the next lifetime. mistakes must be paid for.

Tsk,tsk, you'd better be careful or the FBI and DOJ will be paying you a visit. Haven't you read this ZH article yet?
Deuteronomy 32:35: 'Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them.'
The Feds went after Reason.com because a judge was threatened. They are really very protective of their own, which is why it is probably not safe to read the Declaration of Independence aloud in the presence of any Federal agent. Something about it being a duty to oust the bad guys....
That guy paid way too much for that car... You can buy those used all day long for under $200k in the U.S.
Where do you think the used ones come from? Banksters deserve a new car with that special smell (snort) every bonus period.
He'll have one of his sceretaries tuck the smashed up car damage into his expense report with hookers, blow, golf balls.

2. Post bail

Must be nice. "Caitlyn" was another murderer. Along with that kid in Texas who only got probation for wiping out a family while drunk driving.
Ferrari is too eager to make money, rather than mandate that drivers of such ultra-performance cars take the Ferrari Safety Classes. Racing classes.
By contrast, years ago, when German tennis star Boris Becker got a new Porsche 959, Porsche made him take racing classes first -- "Lest the horses get away on you", was how they framed it.
That's pretty good German,
even though it isn't;)
Ok, "Das die Pferde Ihnen nicht we rennen."
Tuff crowd. ;-)
I have a blunt potatoe peeler right here that I have been braying with a piece of filthy rat infested lead that is doing nothing, blunting the blade, just waiting for the child molesting cunt that wants to be a woman called 'Miranda, D-Lister' cunt called Tony B.Liar, if anyone wants to use it before I get the chance.
I would cry myself to sleep knowing the blade was even a touch sharper than need be for keeping this cunt alive for at least three weeks. Perhaps this lads bones might blunt it a bit more than rat infested lead??
Anyways, its here if you want it...
;-)
Hm. Gee. ... Well, if he knew something he shoulc not have known, this is an odd way to issue a warning. Not unheard of, but definitely odd. On the other hand, maybe he was feeling a little road rage at the cheap little Maser.
That should earn him a stern lecture and a time out.
Heck Tony Hayward was yachting just a week after the horizon spill.
This guy will be okay, another car in the garage by end of the week.
Must have been some serious trauma, judging by what appears to be blood in parts of the pictures. That is a rear engine platform so I doubt it's engine coolant.
(sorry, the EMT in me always looks for the obvious)
Possibly traumatic amputation of the victim's lower limbs. Messy.
My, how far you have fallen, Zero Hedge. Linking banker suicides to typical collateral damage from spoiled "rich boy" behavior is trashy, and an incredible overreach. Hey Tyler, can you say "mission creep?" This story is someone's personal tragedy, now being used to generate net traffic. Now I know why I have avoided posting here for so long.
Yep, stick to Uranus, Kirk.
Fascinating. In 5 years, Zero Hedge has gone from trying to protect the Spirit of the American Revolution, to trying to instigate a French Revolution through class resentment. You are as stupid as your avatar, Klink.
Hahaha, I'll take that as a compliment from you, given your above post.
And you're as wishful as yours. I knew James T. Kirk, and you're no Kirk.
A new revolution is what it's going to take to get our country back from the clutches of tyranny, not the spirit of a past one.
Junior, I commend your idealism. It's healthy and natural, given your youth and limited experience.
This will change with time, when you've enough robust encounters with Zi'Borgs.
Eventually your youthful idealism and exuberance will morph into pragmatism and guile, when dealing with Invasive Species that does not subscribe to your charming idealism and Starfleet theories.
p.s. A revolution is a revolution, is a revolution. The style (American, French, Russian, Spanish) only matters insofar that it's an adaption to a country's history, culture and circumstances.
pps. I will concede that ZH has changed, insofar it used to be a site of Forensic Finance & Economics, then added Forensic Politics, and finally sprinkled it (ever more) with tabloid-like click-baiting articles. Maybe it's the New Management that's playing with its biz model (the high-brow segment has plateaud, and they're adding the low-brow segment to fuel site stats), or we have a more impulsive Tyler. Given the site ads, I'd wager on the former being more likely.
See you on the Set for the next movie, when we get to work together -- just to show those old and young Spocks. ;-)
Kirk out.
Illogical, Captain. If you do not post, then the Ship will lack leadership, and the probability that it will successfully continue its Mission will be endangered. :-)
Who has the nail gun can you pass it along?
Ya that car makes a really bitchen sound when you flor it in tunnels
I know a stockbroker. He has a fast sports car, and is forever gunning it at stoplights, speeding, weaving in traffic, screaming around corners. I am afraid to ride with him. What is it with these guys? And then they put on the serious voice and say you should entrust your savings to them, because they're the most "conservative" (aka, "safe") people on the Planet. HA! :-)
Too bad the banker scumbag didn't die.
I'm from the Deutschebank, and I'm here to help. :-)
ok, so they were f*cking racing in a parking garage, wrecked, and killed the parking lot attendant. I have || much sympathy for that f*ck.
Do we really know if the brake failure was supposed to happen inside the parking garage -- or maybe it was planned (by someone) to happen 'outside' the parking garage when the bankster was likely to be driving at even higher rate of speed???
This guy might want to stay away from tall buildings and nail guns...
" Police said the driver was not charged. "
They mean:
" The police said the banker was not charged. "
so that's why he looks so sad. holding his head, must have been a hefty bribe..
Anyone else disturbed by how often www.beforeitsnews.com articles come true a few months later?
This seems like one of the following:
1. Alternate to a nail gun accident
2. Classic case of "High Performance Car, Low Performance Driver"
In either case, it is a real waste of life and fine machinery.
See, that's why they're better leading bank than driving car /sarc
Wow what a tragedy, that poor thing that got hit, it was such a nice car to see it all banged up like that! (bankers perspective)
Maybe it is a remote control Ferrari.
So typical.
People get the cash and go out to buy the Big Ticket toys.
These cars are not playthings. That's a high-performance system. Unless you have a lot of experience, or proper training, you can smash yourself up pretty easily. This is not the first incident ... it's not uncommon on the West Coast. Probably happens in lot of places.
Cars like that cannot be legally used to even half what they are capable of on about 99% of the roads on planet earth.
Narcissist boxes is all.
