There seems to be so many suicides of bankers this year, a new word should be created..
It appears to be the 12th *or more?* this year..
Nonetheless, a 28-year-old banker died after leaping off of a building–a way bankercide seems to be taking place. The New York POST reports,
Kenneth Bellando, who worked at Levy Capital since January, was found dead on the sidewalk outside his East Side building on March 12 after allegedly jumping from the sixth-story roof, sources said.
Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.
Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.
Very interesting.
It’s the type of stuff that makes you ponder if a nefarious back story is taking place.. are things coming? Are bad days upon us? Is financial collapse ready? Or are bankers just .. going overboard?
Bankercide. You heard it here first.
