Similar to the banker deaths. Bankers are jumping off buildings left and right. It seems it has something to do with a banker scandal and people are offing themselves for fear of being busted or going away for life.

While some of these deaths may be purely coincidental and seem to pose no connection, many of these deaths are highly suspicious and appear not to be random acts of violence. Many are just plain murders.
If you see any incorrect dates or errors, please provide me with accurate information, Thank you!

Marconi Scientists Mystery
In the 1980,s over two dozen science graduates and experts working for Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances, most appearing to be 'suicides.' The MOD denied these scientists had been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were in any way connected.
Judge for yourself...
March 1982 - Professor Keith Bowden, 46
-- Expertise: Computer programmer and scientist at Essex University engaged in work for Marconi, who was hailed as an expert on super computers and computer-controlled aircraft.
-- Circumstance of Death: Fatal car crash when his vehicle went out of control across a dual carriageway and plunged onto a disused railway line. Police maintained he had been drinking but family and friends all denied the allegation.
-- Coroner's verdict: Accident.
April 1983 - Lt. Colonel Anthony Godley, 49
-- Expertise: Head of the Work Study Unit at the Royal College of Military Science.
-- Circumstance of Death: Disappeared mysteriously in April 1983 without explanation. Presumed dead.
March 1985 - Roger Hill, 49
-- Expertise: Radar designer and draughtsman with Marconi.
-- Circumstance of Death: Died by a shotgun blast at home.
-- Coroner's verdict: Suicide.
November 19, 1985 - Jonathan Wash, 29
-- Expertise: Digital communications expert who had worked at GEC and at British Telecom,s secret research centre at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk.
-- Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of falling from a hotel room in Abidjan, West Africa, while working for British Telecom. He had expressed fears that his life was in danger.
-- Coroner's verdict: Open.
August 4, 1986 - Vimal Dajibhai, 24
-- Expertise: Computer software engineer with Marconi, responsible for testing computer control systems of Tigerfish and Stingray torpedoes at Marconi Underwater Systems at Croxley Green, Hertfordshire.
-- Circumstance of Death: Death by 74m (240ft.) fall from Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Police report on the body mentioned a needle-sized puncture wound on the left buttock, but this was later dismissed as being a result of the fall. Dajibhai had been looking forward to starting a new job in the City of London and friends had confirmed that there was no reason for him to commit suicide. At the time of his death he was in the last week of his work with Marconi.
-- Coroner's verdict: Open.
October 1986 - Arshad Sharif, 26
-- Expertise: Reported to have been working on systems for the detection of submarines by satellite.
-- Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of placing a ligature around his neck, tying the other end to a tree and then driving off in his car with the accelerator pedal jammed down. His unusual death was complicated by several issues: Sharif lived near Vimal Dajibhai in Stanmore, Middlesex, he committed suicide in Bristol and, inexplicably, had spent the last night of his life in a rooming house. He had paid for his accommodation in cash and was seen to have a bundle of high-denomination banknotes in his possession. While the police were told of the banknotes, no mention was made of them at the inquest and they were never found. In addition, most of the other guests at the rooming house worked at British Aerospace prior to working for Marconi, Sharif had also worked at British Aerospace on guided weapons technology.
-- Coroner's verdict: Suicide.

His wife had found him on his back with his head parallel to the rear car bumper and his mouth in line with the exhaust pipe, with the car engine running. Police were apparently baffled as to how he could have manoeuvred into the position in which he was found.
-- Coroner's verdict: Open.
March 30, 1987 - David Sands, 37
--Expertise: Senior scientist working for Easams of Camberley, Surrey, a sister company to Marconi. Dr. John Brittan had also worked at Camberley.

More than 310 Iraqi scientists are thought to have perished at the hands of Israeli secret agents in Iraq since fall of Baghdad to US troops in April 2003, a seminar has found.
The Iraqi ambassador in Cairo, Ahmad al-Iraqi, accused Israel of sending to Iraq immediately after the US invasion 'a commando unit' charged with the killing of Iraqi scientists.
"Israel has played a prominent role in liquidating Iraqi scientists. The campaign is part of a Zionist plan to kill Arab and Muslim scientists working in applied research which Israel sees as threatening its interests," al-Iraqi said.

Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.



Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.



Kenneth Bellando — who grew up in Rockville Center, LI, and was a Georgetown graduate — worked as a summer analyst at JPMorgan while in school. Upon graduation in 2007, he was hired as an investment bank analyst and worked there for one year before moving on, according to his LinkedIn page.



The investment banker then went to Paragon Capital Partners, according to his LinkedIn page, until leaving at the end of 2013.

And so another young life is tragically taken before his time, the 11th financial professional to commit suicide in 2014, and the third in as many weeks. How many more to come?

In summary, here are all the recent untimely financial professional deaths we have witnessed in recent months:

1 - William Broeksmit, 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, was found dead in his home after an apparent suicide in South Kensington in central London, on January 26th.

2 - Karl Slym, 51 year old Tata Motors managing director Karl Slym, was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok on January 27th.

3 - Gabriel Magee, a 39-year-old JP Morgan employee, died after falling from the roof of the JP Morgan European headquarters in London on January 27th.

4 - Mike Dueker, 50-year-old chief economist of a US investment bank was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State.

5 - Richard Talley, the 57 year old founder of American Title Services in Centennial, Colorado, was found dead earlier this month after apparently shooting himself with a nail gun.

6 - Tim Dickenson, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, also died last month, however the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.

7 - Ryan Henry Crane, a 37 year old executive at JP Morgan died in an alleged suicide just a few weeks ago. No details have been released about his death aside from this small obituary announcement at the Stamford Daily Voice.

8 - Li Junjie, 33-year-old banker in Hong Kong jumped from the JP Morgan HQ in Hong Kong this week.

9 - James Stuart Jr, Former National Bank of Commerce CEO, found dead in Scottsdale, Ariz., the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say whatcaused the death

10 - Edmund (Eddie) Reilly, 47, a trader at Midtown’s Vertical Group, commited suicide by jumping in front of LIRR train

11 - Kenneth Bellando, 28, a trader at Levy Capital, formerly investment banking analyst at JPMorgan, jumped to his death from his 6th floor East Side apartment.
 
Silence On Hacker Barnaby Jack's Death Continues As Authorities, Friends Stonewall Press
By Connor Adams Sheets
on August 14 2013 12:15 AM

It's been nearly three weeks since hacker Barnaby Jack was reportedly found dead in his San Francisco home, but details about the circumstances of his passing remain unknown as law enforcement authorities and Jack's family and friends refuse to speak with reporters.


Most of the details about the beloved hacker's death emerged in the form of a Reuters article published one day after his body was reportedly found by a loved one believed to be his girlfriend Layne Cross.

Hacker Barnaby Jack was found dead in his San Francisco home on July 25. Twitter / @barnaby_jack

But since the initial Reuters report, little new information has emerged, leading conspiracy theorists to speculate that he had been silenced by the government or an outside actor for his knowledge of sensitive information about topics including how to hack into pacemakers and have them deliver a fatal electrical shock to their owners.


International Business Times contacted the San Francisco Police Department and coroner's office and reached out to more than two dozen of Jack's friends, fellow hackers and associates, as well as his sister, Amberleigh Jack. IBTimes has also attempted to obtain any records pertaining to his death, such as autopsy and toxicology test results as well as a police report.

IBTimes' inquiries have yielded no new information about the hacker's death, as a de facto blackout of facts regarding Jack's final moments has set in across the board.

The San Francisco police deferred all media requests to the city's coroner's office, which did not respond to inquiries from IBTimes by phone and email.

Amberleigh Jack responded to an email from the IBTimes by requesting privacy for herself and Jack's other family members as they grieve her brother's death. IBTimes has honored her request by declining to contact any other members of Jack's family or his girlfriend.

Most of Jack's friends and associates did not respond to email inquiries from IBTimes, but a number did take to Twitter to decry the attempts to contact them.

Two friends did respond, but neither offered any new information about Jack's death or the circumstances surrounding it.

"To be honest, I do not appreciate the various conspiracy theories, and contacting his family and friends days before his funeral suggesting such a thing is in bad taste," one friend wrote via email. "I could not care less what you, his fans, or any acquaintance needs as far as closure. What is important is that his family is allowed to deal with the tragedy and find their own closure without the distraction or drama."

Much of the suspicion about Jack's death arises from the fact that he was scheduled to give an important speech on pacemaker hacking at the annual Black Hat hackers conference in Las Vegas a week after he was found dead.



Instead, he was honored there with a posthumous lifetime achievement award and friends and associates of his held remembrance events for their fallen fellow.

But many people have refused to ignore what they see as the eerie coincidence that he was found dead just before he was to give a speech that could release sensitive information and lead to problems for companies that manufacture pacemakers.

Many observers have also drawn comparisons between Jack's untimely death at the age of 35 to that of national security journalist Michael Hastings, who covered issues including hacking and cybersecurity.

Hastings' death at age 33 has received more attention because of his prominent status as a reporter for Rolling Stone and Buzzfeed who wrote an award-winning Rolling Stone piece that led to Gen. Stanley McChrystal stepping down in disgrace.

Hastings was reportedly working on a hard-hitting exposé on CIA Director John Brennan at the time of his death in a fiery car accident in Los Angeles. Many observers have theorized that Hastings -- who had made many high-level enemies in America's intelligence agencies -- may have been murdered when someone hacked into his Mercedes, causing him to accelerate and lose control, eventually crashing into a palm tree, where he perished in a massive fireball.

The mystery surrounding Hastings and Jack's deaths persists due to a lack of official information, and the silence on Jack's passing leaves the public wondering why a prominent hacker died just a week before he was due to give a controversial speech.
 
"Sources have told this newspaper that Britain's intelligence services – MI6, MI5 and GCHQ – are liaising closely to establish whether Gareth Williams was targeted by a foreign power. The 31-year-old was seconded from GCHQ to work on top-secret systems to defend British banks and transport infrastructure from cyber attack and to eavesdrop on terrorist communications. As a result he may have come to the attention of foreign intelligence agencies. .... It is feared that by the time of his death last month Mr Williams's presence in London had become known to foreign spies, despite the fact he was living in a MI6 safe house with an alarm system linking him to nearby MI6 headquarters. "It would have been part of their brief", said a British intelligence officer. ....It is understood Mr Williams's job at the time of his death was creating computer defences in the City of London. Williams would have had access to information which other countries would want to obtain. The intelligence source said: "His job was to defend the banking system on which Britain's banking, commerce and all our public services depend. It was the kind of work that would have made him prime target for recruitment..... "He was also in a position to know about huge money transfers out of the Middle East which were linked to terror groups. It would be priceless data." Daily Telegragh.
 
seriously, i dunno, maybe they are connected maybe not. I think the fallacy of retiring agents after the cold war has proven to be inaccurate, and terrorism is a big smoke screen for some other nefarious money laundering shit thats been going on. I think the days of countries vs countries is out the window, what we have is thugs and gangsters some are educated white collar some are old school chess spies but ultimately gangsters and power hungry sociopaths. I think there is a lack of finesse these days with attacks on key people and social engineering through terrorism being pretty blatant. Unfortunately there aren't any real journalists poking away connecting the dots, nor some kind of "international super police" to sort shit out, maybe there is. Sometimes agencies and governments are weirdly being nefarious and doing dark shit to actually protect its citizens in a fucked up mad evil fairy god mother kind of way as strange as it seems.
 
Theres this thing as well which is a modern phenomena, the outsourcing to private contractors, or the deferment of moral responsibility and accountability in every layer of life like an anti interconnectedness. Persistent , niggling threat like the sound of a drunk wasp, a background drone seeping into "normality" like the pathetic clamour of white goods, cars, voltage, digital boxes, cargo trains, airplanes, televisions, etc. Drones from the air and drone analysts and graduate robots with xbox trigger fingers dislocated souls from material bodies, puppets to some newly spun age old fairy tale. Divide and conquer began and ended with ourselves it seems.
 
Not too sure about actual ufologists, but reporter Dorothy Kilgallen was alleged to have made some insider contacts and was getting ready to break a major story on UFOs when she died.

Not UFOs. If Dorthy Kilgallen was murdered it was because she was digging into the JFK assassination. She claimed she was going to "blow the lid off" of the official story. Most people seem to believe that the UFO story she was told was disinformation.

While it's true that Kilgallen looked at the JFK assassination, it's also true that she looked into UFOs, and it was another story she was preparing to "blow the lid off". Plus, according to one of the books I've got around here someplace, she had traveled to meet with her inside connection on UFOs, ( not her JFK connections ) immediately prior to her death, Then there's this bizarre connection between JFK , Kilgallen, Monroe, and UFOs, like the document found from JFK ordering NASA to dig up all the UFO info they had, Dorothy's inside UFO connection, and Monroe's relationship with both of them. I'm not saying I have any definitive proof of who killed them all and why, but it's my personal favorite of all the JFK conspiracies.
 
Did Marconi D Systems send out "Wilford Brimley" like silencers? I could see their employees turning up the stereo at home as they explain their dire situation to the wife- as in Cruise's character during the movie The Firm. I guess scientists and tech analysts don't favor owning boats much.

Well, I've looked into UFOs, the Kennedy Assassination, Marilyn Monroe's death, and the disappearance of flight 370.

If I were run over by a bus tomorrow, there would obviously be a connection and a conspiracy to silence me.
