Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Something very big and very bad is happening. Prominent bankers are dying in droves. Have you ever heard of ten bankers committing suicide in a matter of just a few weeks?

An eleventh banker was found dead only days ago. What is driving successful bankers with families to kill themselves in droves?

Here’s the tip-off that this is a very big story: The mainstream media are not covering it. There are eleven dead bankers (and counting), and the story isn’t even mentioned in the national news. That itself is a major news story.

Bankers are dying so fast, you’d think they were all dentists. You get the joke, right? Dentists have the highest suicide rate of any profession. Sometimes, you need a little humor to brighten up a very dark story. But keep in mind, at no time in history have eleven6dentists all died under mysterious circumstances in a matter of a few weeks.

Why are so many bankers dying? Are the media asleep at the switch? Afraid to dig deeper? Ordered not to investigate? By whom? The government? Or are the media perhaps afraid for their own lives if they dig deeper? You think that sounds a bit absurd? Well, not really. A Wall Street Journal reporter named David Bird, who covers the commodities market, is missing. As in gone. As in never seen again. He left his home on Jan. 11 and never returned. Was he working on this story?

Something smells rotten in Denmark, because nine dead bankers and a missing reporter should be a huge headline story.

And if anyone has been watching closely, five other major bankers died in either suicides or mysterious circumstances in 2013. That’s 16 dead bankers.

Someone is going to win a major journalist prize for investigating a high-profile story like this. But for some mysterious reason, no one in the mainstream media seems interested. Doesn’t that alone make you nervous?

This story is real. The dead are:

[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 26.

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

[3] Gabriel Magee, 39-year-old JPMorgan banker, died after falling from the roof of the JP Morgan European headquarters in London on January 28.

[4] Mike Dueker, 50-year-old chief economist of a U.S. investment bank, was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State on January 31.

[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, U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, also dies last month, however the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.

[7] Ryan Henry Crane, 37-year-old executive at JPMorgan, died in an alleged suicide just a few weeks ago on February 3. No details have been released about his death -- aside from a small obituary announcement in the Stamford Daily Voice.

[8] Li Junjie, 33-year-old Hong Kong banker, jumped from the JP Morgan HQ in Hong Kong on February 18.

[9] James Stewart Jr., former CEO of the National Bank of Commerce, was found dead in Scottsdale, Arizona the morning of February 19. A family spokesman did not say what caused the death.

James Stewart? You know something very bad is going on when a bank CEO named Jimmy Stewart is found dead. I guess it’s not such “a wonderful life” after all.

[10] Autumn Radtke, the CEO of First Meta, a cyber-currency exchange firm, was found dead on February 28 outside her Singapore apartment. The 28-year-old American, who worked for Apple and other Silicon Valley tech firms prior to founding First Meta, jumped from a 25-story building, authorities said.

For a market that's flirting with all time highs on a daily basis, the recent banker and trader suicide epidemic seems strangely out of place. And yet, it continues to claim even more victims, with the latest casualty being Edmund Reilly, 47, a trader at Midtown's Vertical Group who, as the New York Post reported, jumped in front of an LIRR train yesterday at 6 am near the Syosset train station and was pronounced dead at the scene.

[11] Edmund (Eddie) Reilly, 47, a trader at Midtown's Vertical Group, committed suicide by jumping in front of an LIRR train on March 12. 

How they died is strange and mysterious, too. Three of these successful bankers jumped off the roofs of their high-rise office and apartment buildings. Just like that, bankers decide to take a stroll off the top of their office buildings? One of the bankers was ruled a “suicide” after being shot eight times from head to toe with a nail gun.

Am I the only one who finds this creepy and worrisome? Do you know anyone brave or insane enough to commit suicide by nail gun?

So what’s going on? I’ll give you two theories.

My first educated guess is we are headed for an epic economic collapse. The mainstream media has fed the public lies about a non-existent “recovery” and dutifully reported the government’s manipulated economic reports (filled with fraud). But these bankers are smart guys who know the truth. What’s coming is very, very bad. As I argued in my national bestseller, The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide, we are entering the greatest depression of all time.

What caused this economic Armageddon? Spending, entitlements and debt. Who caused it? Government, led by corrupt, ignorant and reckless politicians. If I were the lead detective on this case, I’d be investigating who had the most to gain from a cover-up. My investigation would start and end with government collusion, corruption, bailouts and bribery.

Governments all over the world have taxed, spent and printed us into oblivion. America’s debt crisis will make Greece look like a walk in the park. This is too big to paper over. When America collapses, the entire rest of the world crumbles with us. Even creative and corrupt government bureaucrats making up fraudulent economic statistics can’t cover this one up. There is no way out from the coming crash. I’m guessing that knowledge might cause a banker who sees the writing on the wall to take a walk off the roof of his high-rise.

But that still doesn’t explain shooting yourself with a nail gun eight times from head to toe. No one wants to die that slowly and painfully. That sounds more like torture to me. And torture is what leads to murder. Perhaps some or all of these bankers were murdered. Perhaps they didn’t walk off their high-rise buildings. Perhaps they were pushed.

Perhaps the Colorado bank CEO was being “questioned” when the nail gun went off…eight times. I guess the interrogators didn’t like his answers.

But why would someone murder bankers? My educated guess is these are smart guys who knew too much. Perhaps they knew about government manipulation and fraud. Perhaps they knew their banks were not in the wonderful shape their manipulated balance sheets showed. Perhaps they had information about government collusion and corruption in the banking system. Perhaps they were threatening to expose government’s lies and fraud. Perhaps they knew about the trillions of dollars in derivatives held by banks and Wall Street firms about to implode and take the world economy with it.

I’m just making educated guesses. But something is very wrong. Something bad is coming. Eleven dead bankers is a very messy start of a very big story the mainstream media don’t want you to know about.

God bless America. And thank God I’m not a banker.
