It appears bitcoin's recent turmoil has claimed its first life.



Autumn Ratke a 28-year-old American CEO of bitcoin exchange firm First

Meta was found dead in her Singapore apartment on Feb. 28.



Local media are calling it a suicide, but Singapore officials are waiting

for toxicology test results. Ratke formerly worked with Apple and other

Silicon Valley tech firms on developing digital payment systems.



"The First Meta team is shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our

friend and CEO Autumn Radtke."

- Statement on First Meta website



Ratke's death brings the number of questionable financial sector deaths

this year to eight. On Feb. 18 a 33-year-old JPMorgan finance pro leaped

to his death the roof of the JPMorgan's 30-story Hong Kong office tower.



Li Junjie's suicide marked the third mysterious death of a JPMorgan

banker. So far, there is no other known link between any of the deaths.



Gabriel Magee, 39, a vice president with the JPMorgan's corporate and

investment bank technology arm in the UK, also jumped to his death from

the roof of the bank's 33-story Canary Wharf tower in London on Jan. 28.



On Feb. 3, Ryan Henry Crane, 37, a JPM executive director who worked in

New York, was found dead inside his Stamford, Conn., home.



A cause of death in Crane's case has not be determined until a toxicology

report is complete, according to a spokesperson for the Stamford

detectives division.



The report is expected within two weeks.


A safety net needs to be put up around these capitalist extremist places of worship to save their lives. So they can be beaten to death with baseball bats.
