Also for the family.

These suicides and deaths are pretty insignificant statistically.

suicide or foul play is not insignificant

Deaths of gamblers and crooks are not a surprise.

Are you surprised madoffs son offed himself, I'm not. These guys play big stakes poker and sometimes face serious consequences for their actions. In light of the predatory nature of the industry one would expect more suicides but there are so many narcists and sociopaths that we don't see it more.

These people literally steal grandmas house...

People kill themselves all the time in all walks of life, we don't normally read about it, and it's considered a big taboo.

At least that is my impression

The banking industry is shedding jobs like any others, people losing status without their jobs.

What is interesting are the cases where the people suicide in front of their co-workers like the london and hong kong building jumps.

This is likely news if it turns out to be murder suicide. Those cases are the one type of suicide which generally make the news.

Unless it's a blankfein, a diamon or a pandit, it's more of the same.

I would guess 10's of thousands have killed themselves for financial reasons since the "great recession" began.

isn't all it's made out to be.

Pat Robertson tried to muscle in.
