A third banker has committed suicide within the space of a week, once again prompting speculation that some kind of financial collapse could be just around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n “Mike Dueker, the chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state, according to the Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s Department. He was 50,” <\/strong><\/span>reports <\/strong><\/span>Bloomberg<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Dueker fell down a 50 foot embankment in what police are describing as a suicide. He was reported missing on January 29 by friends, who said he had been “having problems at work.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Dueker’s apparent suicide follows those of London banking executives Gabriel Magee and Bill Broeksmit.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Magee, a 39-year-old senior manager at JP Morgan’s European headquarters, jumped <\/strong><\/span>500ft<\/strong><\/span><\/a> from the top of the bank’s headquarters in central London on Tuesday, landing on an adjacent 9 story roof.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Last Sunday, former Deutsche Bank executive Broeksmit was found dead at his South Kensington home after police responded to reports of a man found hanging at a house. <\/strong><\/span>According to <\/strong><\/span>reports<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Broeksmit had “close ties to co-chief executive Anshu Jain.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG also died last week but the cause of death has not been made public.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Banker suicides would be expected in the aftermath of a major stock market collapse, but the Dow Jones hit a record high just last month, although recent days have seen markets suffer heavy losses.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Some have <\/span><\/strong><\/span>speculated<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>that the suicides could be related to a flurry of recent indications that some kind of major financial crash is approaching.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this week, Russian lender \u2018My Bank\u2019 banned all cash <\/strong><\/span>withdrawals<\/strong><\/span><\/a> until next week, while UK-based HSBC imposed capital <\/span><\/strong><\/span>controls<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on customers attempting to withdraw larger sums of money.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Are the spate of banker suicides merely a coincidence, or do they point to something rotten in the heart of the financial system which has yet to be revealed to the public?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Facebook @ https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/paul.j.watson.71<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n *********************<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Infowars.com<\/a> and Prison Planet.com<\/a>.
