Why do you think that the bankers are dying? [View all]

Over the last few weeks there have been several deaths within the banking industry worldwide in New York, London and apparently another incident in Hong Kong today. Are these incidental occurrences or is something dubious or devious occurring? Does someone have the goods on somebody else? Be creative and go wild (but not offensive)!

My own suspicions about why these incidents are occurring (or at least, being reported) is that later this year EU banks are going to face higher capital requirements under their stress tests than they have previously. The stress tests may reveal more of those banks being undercapitalized than suspected and it could tighten credit markets as a reaction as those banks evaluate their loan portfolios. It could also hinder the stock holdings within those banks.

Any other ideas or was I too high while was creatively speculating?
