My first thought was Uh Oh! Suicide is so painful for those left behind. Hope this wasn't a Vince Foster type suicide.

The company had $25 billion in assets under administration at the end of last year

Any bets on how much they have remaining of that 25 billion? I'm sensing another weekend at Bernie Madoff's

Anyone considering that this is going to get a lot more popular in the coming weeks, and I’m not meaning due to the stock market.

As these people, or more accurately their bosses, are on the verge of being outed by the Beck movement...

Tinfoil hat maybe. Help me out here.

I suspect that many families will be hurt. It is very sad and also despicable, but I unfortunately sense it coming.

Sad, sad for the families. Suicide, if that is what it was, is always a coward’s way out. Prayers for the family and those who are probably going to get burned by something this fellow did. But I always remember the saying: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I expect more will be falling — either the result of another’s pointing finger, or by their own hand.

On top of the world and then ends it all. Why? I am sure many are asking the same.

then ends it all

Wondering how the family friend knows he took his life? Barclay McFadden III, a longtime friend, said McDonald "took his own life," and added that neither he nor the family had further comment.

Unless he told his wife when he called earlier; but, I can't see accepting 'suicide' just because it appears to be.

This is the 2nd “suicide” of a financial guy in a week.
