Of course, russians fall, americans jump. Different country, different culture. /s

Is this double sarcasm or do you really think think there's a political motive?

How is this notable or even interesting? People commit suicides all the time.

While c-levels are just people (or at best people?) the apparent suicide of a c-level of a company that has had curious stock motion is notable.

Is it troubling that a human being taking their own life (or at least appearing to) is most notable or interesting when money or power is involved? Sure. People without money or power commit suicide all the time. But most humans only care when it impacts them, and the common denominators tend to be money and power.

Sure, but, however weird I feel saying this, this person wasn’t particularly important - he was a clerk, just a better paid one. It’s not like we lost some scientist, or artist. He wasn’t even a celebrity.
