Zero Hedge – by Tyler DurdenOrdinarily we would ignore the news of another banker’s death – after all these sad events happen all the time – if it wasn’t for several contextual aspects of this most recent passage. First, the death in question, as reported by the Stamford Daily Voice is that of Ryan Henry Crane, a Harvard graduate, who is survived by his wife, son and parents at the very young age of 37. Second, Ryan Henry Crane was formerly employed by JPMorgan – a bank which was featured prominently in the news as recently as two weeks ago when another of its London-based employees committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of its Canary Wharf building. Third: Crane was an Executive Director in JPM’s Global Program Trading desk, founded in 1999 by an ex-DE Shaw‘er, a function of the firm which is instrumental to preserving JPM’s impeccable and (so far in 2013) flawless trading record of zero trading losses.
There was little detail surrounding the death:
Ryan Henry Crane of Stamford died Monday, Feb. 3. He was 37.
Crane was born Jan. 8, 1977, and grew up in Long Valley, N.J. He graduated from The Delbarton School in Morristown in 1995. He graduated from Harvard University in 1999, after which he spent the next 14 years at J.P. Morgan in New York. He was an executive director in the Global Equities Group.
Crane is survived by his wife, Lauren (nee Pizzotti); son, Harry; parents Mary Jo and Lex of Long Valley, N.J.; brother, Lex of Denver, Colo.; sister, Allison; brother-in-law, John Archard of Arvada, Colo.; parents-in-law, Steve and Carol Pizzotti of Reading, Mass.; brothers- and sisters-in-law, David and Heather Pizzotti of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Stephen and Kristin Pizzotti and Chris and Felicia Pizzotti of Reading, Mass.; five nephews, three nieces; aunts, uncles; and cousins.
Calling hours are Sunday, Feb. 9 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Leo P. Gallagher Funeral Home, 31 Arch St., Greenwich. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 10 at St. Catherine of Siena Church, Riverside. Interment will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 at Puritan Lawn Memorial Park in Peabody, Mass.
Crane’s LinkedIn profile confirming his senior position at one of JPM’s most important market-facing verticals:
Below is his Finra BrokerCheck profile. Aside from having a license to trade virtually anything and anywhere as someone with his skillset would be expected to, his history was spotless:
The circumstances surrounding his death are scarce, but what is most notable is that not only is Crane the second very young JPMorgan banker to pass in recent days, but is also the fourth banker death in under a month. We can only hope this disturbing chain of deaths within the financial industry – one of which involved anail-gun induced suicide – is purely accidental.

Accidental my ass. These guys know something that JPM doesn’t want to get out and they were waxed.
Bad year for banksters, apparently.
At least he had appropriate qualifications to handle large amounts of money
REAL BAD COINCIDINKIES RIGHT? THATS 5 BANKSTERS DONE IN A MONTH PLUS A MISSING REPORTER FOR FIANACIAL THINGYS..SOMETHING WICKED IS THIS WAY COMING ..NO DOUGHT..THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE OF THE UNITED SNAKES IS BUT AROUND THE CORNER
How about this statement. If you rob a bank, you get 20 years. If the bank robs you, the CEO gets $20 million. — Two banks neck-deep in mortgage and foreclosure fraud, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, announced 2013 CEO paydays at $20-million. Right there says it all.
And another one bites the dust…. I hear Joos don’t kill them selves, only the goi.
True story! No need for a conscience or shame when you don’t believe in consequences for your actions on Earth. They really are satanists.
I guess we have another banker who didn’t want to take part in the next world financial collapse and NWO plan.
I’d like to make a special request to the people doing the hits on these bankers.
Can you please throw Jamie Dimon and Jon Corzine out the window, too, while you are at it, as I’m sure most of us would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Lots of Laughs. Exactly what I was thinking. You could add Mr. Fuld in there and Hank Paulson.
Is it possible that our new FED chairwoman Miss Yellen just might be trying to clean up the fraudulent rat pit left to her by Berstinky and Greenspan? Just a thought. Meantime the big boys at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are “tying up loose ends” and whacking anyone with knowledge of the scams or might be a snitch.
