there are 2 other recent deaths, dunno if they are related:

The week before, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG died. The cause of death has not been made public.

suspicion centers around the investigations of the FOREX (foreign Exchange) market of the various banks.

9. There's going to be some revelation of some scandal

shortly, I'm sure. These bankers are connected in some way.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Macgee and Crane worked "together", same FX jobs.

So far the Forex investigations are being pointed to.

[MineralMan]

12. Yes, it does seem connected to Forex.

How, I don't know, but I'm betting an audit is going on right now to find out. Whether we find out is another question, though.

13. Suicide by nailgun?

[2pooped2pop]

14. Surprisingly, nail gun is the 3rd most common mode of suicide in the US

I believe it is right after two shots with a shotgun to the back of the head, method.
