Hedge Fund Millionaire Robert Wilson Has Died After Reported Suicide

Quote from Swan Noir:

But to a 70 year old woman that walks with a cane seeing (or worse yet being the landing pad) would be traumatizing. I know the block he lived on well -- most New Yorkers do -- and it is far from a sleepy street.

Common sense tells you that jumping where people might be hurt is a damn inconsiderate act.

He jumped into the courtyard of the building. Not street-facing.

Quote from d08:

People like you...

I've heard some lower middle class people here say "we should remove the homeless people from the street so seeing them won't traumatize the children".
If seeing someone kill themselves traumatizes you so much then your life has been too sheltered and you need a reality check.
As if all you're worried about in your last seconds is how it'll look...

Really??? I think a kid seeing some old dude's head splatter on the sidewalk would be pretty traumatizing.

I really could care less of he kills himself but just stick the barrel of a handgun in your mouth in the privacy of your own home.

Quote from billyjoerob:

He was mostly a short seller, which is pretty astonishing - how many wealthy short sellers are there?

"Roman Catholic schools give a better education to their students than public schools do."


"It’s easy for rich white people to throw money at disadvantaged black people—whether it’s here or in Africa—and feel good about it. I call that solving the white man’s burden. Let me be straight: I do not disapprove, in any way, of aiding black people in need.

What I am critical of is unfocused and lavish spending on blacks as blacks. "

===============
Good points;
not the part that ''throwing money @ blacks[or any group] is solving the white mans burden'' It that were true; US PUBLIC schools would have solved so many problems, years ago.

He actually agrees with me, i think ,because of his giving to church [private sector] schools.

As far as your short sell question,, good question;
how many short sellers do you know that advertise it[SAY squeeze,LOL]

Quote from zdreg:

have you thought about testing your hypothesis?

Actually, the first part I have tested and keep testing - free falling is, indeed, fun. Not sure about the death part, though.

Yeah, your right! My mistake

Are they father and son? Look alike and both hedge funders.

Maybe he jumped to catch someone walking by, and the suicide note was his alibi in case he survived the fall.
