Ping!
You know it’s bad when billionaires start offing themselves.
Death by ICE is common in Germany. They don’t think about how they distress the driver though, who often has to go through counseling.
That's quite a way to off one's self.
One couldn’t just retire at 74 in a nice chateau near the Black Forest? I’m sure his extended family would be set for life.
Do yourself in because you lost money? Come on! That’s all that life is about?
I thought Germany had this wonderful socialist welfare system that Bambam is trying to copy here in the US. He couldn’t apply for assistance - food stamps, HUD and all the other ‘free’ goodies socialists like to dish out?
It’s a sad business when anyone commits suicide. Nothing honorable about it. Very hard on the family, and especially the children and grandchildren, knowing that one of your parents or grandparents has killed himself—and perhaps being tempted to do the same thing some day.
I pray that he was not in his right mind and finds forgiveness.
Oh man, the Porsche-VW thing was unquestionably one of the top three biggest short squeezes in the history of mankind.
Good Lord, what a way to go. Suicide does damage to their family & friends who must to carry on with “life”. Sad.
If only he were an American — we would have bailed him out...
As I recall, the folks who lost money on VW shares were the folks shorting the stock.
It’s tragic that this jackass killed himself, and I hope that God manages to save him anyway. But I don’t have much sympathy that he lost over a half a billion dollars by shorting stock in VW. That part, he earned.
Prayers for his family. How sad that he gave up on life because of money. It seems he never knew the real purpose of life.
When I first saw the story, I wondered if he had help.
