BERLIN (Reuters) - Calogero Gambino, a senior Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) regulatory lawyer, has been found dead in New York in what appears to have been a suicide, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing New York City officials and other sources.

The 41-year-old man was found early on Oct. 20 hanging by the neck from a stairway banister, the newspaper said.

Gambino, an associate general counsel and a managing director who worked for the German bank for 11 years, was found by his wife and pronounced dead by medical practitioners at the scene, according to the paper.

<snip>Earlier this year, former Deutsche Bank manager William Broeksmit, who had close ties to co-chief executive Anshu Jain, had been found dead at his London home in what also appeared to have been a suicide.

Sounds like something is big time rotten with Deutsche Bank -- two suicides this year ....

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. Again? This is becoming a regular thing......I guess we didn't jail em because they keep

knocking themselves off first?

Or is this the 2014 version of Banksters jumping out of windows? Are they so afraid of becoming one of "us" the "mud people"....the "dirty and tainted and fucking lazy masses" that you have made yourself believe you were just "born better than" not just born riding a stroke of good luck...

OR is this something even more nefarious going on, that so many of these guys associated with these Too Big To Fail banks, keep mysteriously turning up "suicided"...?

quite mysterious indeed...

2. Gambino knew something

What he knew we'll likely never know.

You can only cook those books for so long and all of a sudden

[VanillaRhapsody]

11. Yeah....the guy that cooked the books....he knows "where all the bodies are buried..."

can't have that hanging around....

there sure has been a spate of these "suicides" the last few years!

[CountAllVotes]

13. With bank interest rates pinned at zero

you've got to wonder where the money in these banks is going. Many people that don't have the ability to play the Wall Street gamble, are the losers in this dicey game.

These bankster frauds are pocketing the money and keeping it is what I think. Where is it being kept you might ask? Answer: Any place that shelters monies from taxation and yes, there are many such places still around.

As the tide begins to come in and not go out, people begin to wonder whereas I believe they should be doing something like suing these crooks, every one of them and no one, not even the fabulous Warren Buffett is exempt.

A crook is a crook until he caught in the words of the late President Theodore Roosevelt!

I'm thinking that that tide that went out and never came in *yet* is about to do just that.

14. I keep hearing rumors that there is some really heavy duty investigating going on....

and that things are going to to look much different in the light of day when it is revealed. The fact that there has been what seems like a dozen of these "suicides" there must be something happening....It sure would have been a nice October surprise.....

15. How many teacher suicides in the last three months?

[VanillaRhapsody]

4. in the family?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambino_crime_family

The Gambino crime family is one of the "Five Families" that dominates organized crime activities in New York City, United States, within the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the Mafia (or Cosa Nostra). The group is named after Carlo Gambino, boss of the family at the time of the McClellan hearings in 1963, when the structure of organized crime first gained public attention. The group's operations extend from New York and the eastern seaboard to California. Its illicit activities include labor and construction racketeering, gambling, loansharking, extortion, money laundering, prostitution,[3] fraud, hijacking, pier thefts, and fencing.

This is interesting:

As a reminder, the other Deutsche Banker who was found dead earlier in the year, William Broeksmit, was involved in the bank’s risk function and advised the firm’s senior leadership; he was “anxious about various authorities investigating areas of the bank where he worked,” according to written evidence from his psychologist, given Tuesday at an inquest at London’s Royal Courts of Justice.

And now that an almost identical suicide by hanging has taken place at Europe’s most systemically important bank, and by a person who worked in a nearly identical function – to shield the bank from regulators and prosecutors and cover up its allegedly illegal activities with settlements and fines – is surely bound to raise many questions.

The WSJ reports that Mr. Gambino had been “closely involved in negotiating legal issues for Deutsche Bank, including the prolonged probe into manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, and ongoing investigations into manipulation of currencies markets, according to people familiar with his role at the bank.”

He previously was an associate at a private law firm and a regulatory enforcement lawyer from 1997 to 1999, according to his online LinkedIn profile and biographies for conferences where he spoke. But most notably, as his LinkedIn profile below shows, like many other Wall Street revolving door regulators, he started his career at the SEC itself where he worked from 1997 to 1999.

6. so they say... nice normal people

just kidding

[MADem]

7. Actually, the patriarch of this family worked for the government for many years.

He rose to a position of considerable responsibility, mentored many juniors coming up in the agency, and was a model of integrity, too!

He took some teasing about his name down the years, too.

8. there has been a lot recently

16. How many transit worker suicides? How about waitstaff? How many stay-at-home mom suicides?

[irisblue]

since I thru work, have a 401 plan, as far as I can tell, those options in my plans are divvied up into small bits, mixed with other small bits and the small bits collectively are "managed" by a variety of banks, bankers and investment firms. I am sure there were no wait staff, transit workers and stay at home parents directing my accounts. It how ever seems an interesting fact that 8 bankers(term used generically to describe any human who directs how my little bits of mutual funds & stocks are and to whom they are applied) from several different major internationally recognizable firms have decided to commit suicide. I will also say that I will not do any type of statistical analysis to evaluate previous suicides among bankers (term used as above.).
It is actually a nice dry sunny cool Saturday afternoon, so I'm going outside to rake leaves and play with my dog. If you would like to continue our conversation, I'll be available, likely tomorrow pm. I hope you do something enjoyable this afternoon as well.

21. This blog

earlier in the year counted at least 12 - http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/05/suicide-omen-or-political-murder-2014-banker-death-count-reaches-double-digits/

[sadoldgirl]

10. Well, if they are so scared

of some discoveries, why don't they leave the info behind? After all, the banksters or other involved people cannot hurt them anymore.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. Silly sadoldgirl...the implication is that these are not REALLY suicides

Murder, most foul.

At least in the fevered imaginations of the people who follow such things.

[jwirr]

18. Been a while. As to something big in Deutsche Bank. They are all connected.

[Gman]
