The Strange Story of a Murdered Banker...

Date: Wednesday, July 6, 2016 9:22 PM EDT

Beginning roughly 5 years ago; we suddenly saw a long series of suspicious deaths of bankers. Officially, these deaths were all "suicides" -- bankers who supposedly chose to end their lives, in most cases by jumping off of a high building.

Unofficially, you don't have to be a detective to form the theory that these bankers were all murdered, because they "knew too much" about the One Bank crime syndicate -- and were ready to talk. This brings us to another "strange story." The irony here is that it is actually the mainstream media itself which is raising the question did this banker "know too much?"

Maurice Spagnoletti was hired to clean up Doral Bank.

Did he uncover something that got him killed

The moment we begin to delve into the facts, our suspicion meter starts shooting higher.

Spagnoletti, 57, was the No. 2 executive at Doral Bank in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Once flush, the bank had been almost ruined by a fraud scandal, and in 2007 it was rescued by Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, and a group of hedge funds. The Wall Street investors had put up $610 million, but Doral continued to lose money, and they were losing patience. In late 2010, Doral hired Spagnoletti, a New Jerseyan experienced in managing large banks, with orders to reduce costs and get Puerto Rican operations under control.

Obviously Goldman Sachs and the rest of these Crime Syndicate stooges don't "rescue" entities, banking or otherwise. Indeed, it is these criminals who go around "ruining" other enterprises, sometimes just for sport.

So let's restate the facts. Goldman Sachs pumps $600 million of its dirty money into Doral Bank, and with that investment,

it takes effective control of the bank

The bank continues to lose money. An experienced banker is brought in to go over the books, and now that banker is murdered.

Gee, I wonder who the Prime Suspect(s) is here...???

Further pointing the finger towards the One Bank is the manner of death:

The sun was setting on another muggy San Juan day as Spagnoletti pulled out of Doral’s bland office park downtown. His wife was waiting at home with their 6-year-old daughter. He’d flown his sister-in-law in for the party, too. The drive to his condo on palm-tree-lined Condado Beach took just 15 minutes when there wasn’t traffic. But a few minutes after Spagnoletti got onto the highway, he slowed for a backup on a bridge over a canal. Another car pulled up alongside his. Someone fired at least nine shots from a .40-caliber handgun, shattering his windows, and four bullets hit him in the head.

This was not an ordinary murder, this was a "hit", gangland style. Obviously, when you see a "hit", you look for some connection to ORGANIZED CRIME -- and there is Goldman Sachs, a tentacle of the One Bank. A banker who was hired to go over the books of a bank over which Goldman Sachs recently took control is murdered, execution-style.

But what do we hear from the "sleuths" of Bloomberg?

The identities of Spagnoletti’s killers are still a mystery, and the bank overhaul that he was hired to lead didn’t work without him. Doral collapsed in 2015, the biggest U.S. bank failure since 2010, done in by bad loans and Puerto Rico’s decade-long economic spiral. The Wall Street investors who hadn’t already sold were wiped out, and the U.S. government spent $700 million to cover depositors’ losses.

Now let's re-examine the facts again...

On the day Maurice Spagnoletti was murdered, his black Lexus sedan was full of balloons. It was June 15, 2011, the day before his wife’s birthday, and he was planning a celebration...

This murder took place in 2011, at roughly the same time that a lot of other bankers suddenly decided to take high-dives off of tall buildings

But despite these suspicious circumstances and a lot of other "mysterious" banker deaths occurring at the same time, apparently it took the mainstream media 5 years to notice the "strange story" of this banker execution.

In 2007; at the same time that all of the Big Banks' and fraudulent "mortgage-backed securities" were beginning to blow up, we see Goldman Sachs use some of its dirty money to take control of a failing bank in Puerto Rico -- to cover up some of its own fraud. Someone is brought in to go over the books, and that person is murdered. Yes, quite the "mystery": which one of Goldman Sachs' hired killers pulled the trigger?

In fact, there is only one mystery concerning this banker who was murdered after he began going over the books of a Goldman Sachs-controlled bank. Why has the Corporate media decided to draw attention to this execution, five years after the fact? Put another way, given that the mainstream media was covering up this murder at the time it was committed, why suddenly publish an article about this "strange story" (i.e. suspicious murder)?

Is this some sort of veiled warning to another banker or bankers who also know too much -- and may be considering revealing what they know? If not, why bother to publish this, at all...???
