Our advice is if JP Morgan offers you a job: politely decline. The list of top-level bankers dying under suspicious circumstances has been growing rapidly in recent months.
Whether these are genuine deaths or something more sinister one thing is for certain, banking is becoming one of the most dangerous industries to be involved in right now with an extremely high death per employee ratio.
The causes of death given for some of the bankers seems quite odd to say the least including one banker shooting himself 8 times with a nail gun and another being crushed to death by their own SUV.
With the global financial system heading towards a major crash in the near future are these people buckling under the pressure of what they see coming or are they being silenced because of what they know?
We can only assume it’s a little of both.
