The dismal trail of dead bankers continues. As The Journal Star reports, a successful Lincoln businessman and member of a prominent local family died last week. Former National Bank of Commerce CEO James Stuart Jr. was found dead in Scottsdale, Ariz., the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say what caused the death. This brings the total of banker deaths in recent weeks to 9 as Stuart is sadly survived by three sons and four daughters.
I read the list - it is intriguing. But I don't see what would connect them all other than they work in finance. They don't even all work for investment banks. Hong Kong, London and the US. Capital is global but unless zerohedge can articulate the pattern I don't get it. Don't get me wrong - I would love there to be a connection. It would be a perfect end to several decades of debauchery.
