Based on what? The man was bipolar and lost his fortune, perhaps one time too many.

Here's what makes me suspicious. The publicly available suicide note (quoted below) is an excerpt of an 8-page handwritten note.

- Where is the full note? I can't find it... can anyone? This smells like some kind of cover-up.
… Reminiscent of how the moon landing tapes were "erased/lost." (Word on the street is that a NASA employee needed tapes for a "Welcome Back, Kotter" marathon) [Ref 1]
- This terse writing style smells like the KGB to me. Seems almost like a "canned" note... A note engineered to be simple, without room for interpretation or analysis.
- He took a lot of money out of peoples' pockets... who were the counterparties to those trades? Perhaps they were displeased with his trading prowess...

My dear Nina: Can't help it. Things have been bad with me. I am tired of fighting. Can't carry on any longer. This is the only way out. I am unworthy of your love. I am a failure. I am truly sorry, but this is the only way out for me. Love Laurie

People are always harping on his suicide. The guy was 64, lived 4+ decades in luxury, married to a giant bitch/black widow. I would have blown my brain out too.

Then why didn't "they" exact their alleged revenge when he was still a force in the markets? Why wait until he was, by all accounts, a broken man?

As for "taking money from the counterparties of his trades," is that not how trading works? For everyone? And didn't he give just about all of it back by 1940?

Have you been reading detective mystery novels lately? You need to put those down and step away before someone gets hurt. :D

P.S. So the moon landing was faked? Meanwhile, you believe in a god and the bible, though, eh? Fascinating. How do you even begin to defend those ideas with your evident overlay of skepticism?
