The running list of banker suicides this year hits 12, with multiple suicides in NYC last week alone

NEW YORK CITY (INTELLIHUB (http://intellihub.com/another-banker-jumps-building-nyc-12th-banker-suicide-year/)) — A New York City investment banker is dead after allegedly jumping from his apartment building, marking the 12th highly publicized banking suicide this year.
The latest suicide occurred on March 12, when 28-year-old Kenneth Bellando was found on the sidewalk outside of his six-story Manhattan apartment building. This suicide came just one day after another investment banker in New York City took his life by jumping in front of a moving train.
The New York Post reported (http://nypost.com/2014/03/17/investment-banker-leaps-to-his-death/), that Bellando formerly worked as an investment banker at JP Morgan Chase. His brother, John Bellando, also works at JP Morgan as an investment officer; the New York Post stated that multiple emails by John Bellando were presented as evidence during Senate hearings regarding the “London Whale” trading scandal.
For those of you who have not been following this developing story, all year we have been reporting on the suspicious string of deaths that have hit the financial industry.
With a new banker suicide almost every week, even skeptics and mainstream experts are starting to become suspicious.
“Jumping is much less common as a method for suicide in general, so I am struck by the number that have occurred in recent months in this industry,” said Dr. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
“The suicide-research literature doesn’t help very much with the question of why the method of these suicides is so out in the open,” she added.
Those who had high profile deaths, like the man who jumped from the top of the JP Morgan HQ building in Europe are highly publicized, but overall, very few details about any of these deaths have been made public.
All of the details on each story can be found below, and we will continue to keep a running tally in the coming weeks. Please feel free to comment below, or use our contact information to send us leads and tips on this situation.
