Bumping off the banksters

A curious development -- from FOX News:
Bitcoin firm CEO found dead in suspected suicide
It appears bitcoin�s recent turmoil has claimed its first life.

Autumn Ratke a 28-year-old American CEO of bitcoin exchange firm First Meta was found dead in her Singapore apartment on Feb. 28.
With Mt. Gox going bankrupt and $460 Million USD worth of Bitcoins evaporating, it's no wonder that other Bitcoin repositories would get stressed. Ms. Ratke death is pending investigation. It isn't just Bitcoins though -- a bit more:
Ratke�s death brings the number of questionable financial sector deaths this year to eight. On Feb. 18 a 33-year-old JPMorgan finance pro leaped to his death the roof of the JPMorgan�s 30-story Hong Kong office tower.

Li Junjie�s suicide marked the third mysterious death of a JPMorgan banker. So far, there is no other known link between any of the deaths.

Gabriel Magee, 39, a vice president with the JPMorgan�s corporate and investment bank technology arm in the UK, also jumped to his death from the roof of the bank�s 33-story Canary Wharf tower in London on Jan. 28.

On Feb. 3, Ryan Henry Crane, 37, a JPM executive director who worked in New York, was found dead inside his Stamford, Conn., home.
