CHOOT UM!
I was just watching a video about this. Absolutely insane. I hope its not a sign of a crash.
Crash? Stock market crash? How would it be?
"What sick, barbaric bastards.
It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?
Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "
So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
This is very bizarre. When I first saw the headline for that story I thought it might be that Anglo-looking Japanese dude who ran Mt. Gox, once the biggest Bitcoin exchange until they came out and admitted they'd been hacked a couple weeks ago and "all the money is gone." "Dishonor" is a big deal in Japan, and many execs commit seppuku when their business ventures fail. But it turns out this is someone totally different.
It's got to be rough riding on top of the world controlling so much money and then having your world crash down around you. People who know nothing but success in life and then can't cope with failure. It will be interesting to see if more info from the investigation gets leaked...
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
Eh, suicide is a lot more common than people think. Finding 8 people in one field died of either suicide, or "suspicious causes" doesn't sound like much to me.
Working in the financial sector is a rough job, many of those folks work a crazy amount of hours, or crazy hours in general. Job satisfaction is near an all time low for that sector as well. Pay is good, but working 100-120 hours a week, knowing the public hates you, a lot of the perks are gone, plus now it obvious if there are losses or issues then the firms will pretty much throw anyone under the bus.
Add in that she was American living overseas in a culture that attaches great personal shame to failure, probably didn't have much family or friends she could talk to.
On a side note, my uncle is a broker, he was telling me about a guy he knew (worked for a different firm). The guy started setting his alarm clock to wake him on the hour during the night so he could check overseas markets and plan for the next day. Less than a month after he started doing that he had a nervous breakdown. Some of these folks are way to driven for their own good.

After today, it's all historical.
Sounds like she had ties to Mt. Gox. I bet she kept most of her bitcoins stored there and got her entire savings wiped out along with everyone else.Originally Posted by Gunreference1
That's got to be a real blow to the ego, right there. Everything you worked for, going up in a plume of smoke. All because of some hacker changing the little 1's and 0's on some peer-to-peer networked computer somewhere, millions of dollars gone in a blink of an eye.

Wow. The coroner in Singapore has the time and resources to investigate a subject's background, including personal internet usage?A Singapore Coroner's Court has found .......... that Radtke was "determined to end her life and had made concerted efforts toward facilitating this outcome," including by researching suicide methods on the Internet.
I guess a coroner does much more there than here.
CHOOT UM!
Sure she did.
The trail of dead banksters keeps getting longer and longer, and I wonder why?
Why are the banksters being wacked?
Why are the top banksters offing the lower tier banksters, aren't they all on the same "money made out of thin air and then multiplied" team?
"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
