Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.
Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.
Kenneth Bellando — who grew up in Rockville Center, LI, and was a Georgetown graduate — worked as a summer analyst at JPMorgan while in school. Upon graduation in 2007, he was hired as an investment bank analyst and worked there for one year before moving on, according to his LinkedIn page.
The investment banker then went to Paragon Capital Partners, according to his LinkedIn page, until leaving at the end of 2013.
And so another young life is tragically taken before his time, the 11th financial professional to commit suicide in 2014, and the third in as many weeks. How many more to come?
In summary, here are all the recent untimely financial professional deaths we have witnessed in recent months:
1 - William Broeksmit, 58-year-old former senior executive at Deutsche Bank AG, was found dead in his home after an apparent suicide in South Kensington in central London, on January 26th.
2 - Karl Slym, 51 year old Tata Motors managing director Karl Slym, was found dead on the fourth floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Bangkok on January 27th.
3 - Gabriel Magee, a 39-year-old JP Morgan employee, died after falling from the roof of the JP Morgan European headquarters in London on January 27th.
4 - Mike Dueker, 50-year-old chief economist of a US investment bank was found dead close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State.
5 - Richard Talley, the 57 year old founder of American Title Services in Centennial, Colorado, was found dead earlier this month after apparently shooting himself with a nail gun.
6 - Tim Dickenson, a U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, also died last month, however the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.
7 - Ryan Henry Crane, a 37 year old executive at JP Morgan died in an alleged suicide just a few weeks ago. No details have been released about his death aside from this small obituary announcement at the Stamford Daily Voice.

Are you familiar with the gaussian distribution? or better still the concept of a distribution function?
Having had several graduate-level courses in statistics, yes, I am.
I don’t think the number of events we’re discussing here is sufficient for a Gaussian function to apply.
Connect dots.
5.5 million people are employed in the banking and insurance industries. Figure half are wankers bankers. that’s 2.75 million bankers out of 320 million people in the usa or .8594%. If we apply this to the number of suicides we would expect 335 bankers to suicide every year.

Lousy stats.
These are investment bankers, a small group within the world of banking. There does not seem to be more than 100,000 world-wide.
Good, but apparently you haven't thought through the implications, namely that there is a finite probability that things will clump together. Since you're familiar with statistics then you'll know that the governing distribution here is poisson and if you split the events into time related blocks, then you'll know that there is a real probability that some time blocks will have more events than others.

Why? You don’t comprehend stats?
I do. You obviously don't.
