CEO Suicide at Julius Baer?
It has been reported that Julius Baer bank CEO, Alex Widmer has died. While the bank initially released a statement that the death was a result of an unspecified illness, family friends have publicly referred to the untimely passing as suicide. Swiss authorities have thus far refused to offer their own confirmation one way or the other.

Julius Baer has recently faced an investigation into assisting its clients with evading taxes leading to a nasty legal fight over the exposure of stolen bank records, (see Rudolf Elmer) which saw the bank at odds with the public disclosure advocates at Wikileaks.org. More on Elmer's role in all this can be found right here.
No way to say yet whether these travails had any bearing on Widmer's passing. Something is sure to be confirmed shortly, one way other the other.

Corporate email and computer surveillance is one thing, but tailing employees around town and accessing personal email accounts? Given the recent HP fiasco, it sounds like PR, if not legal, nightmare waiting to happen. Very interesting piece on Boeing's tactics from the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Highly recommended.

Preoccupied with jammies or strawberry jam, perhaps? Very cute Halloween picture of Baby Thomas!

The Guardian Sits Down With Gary Aguirre
What a stir Gary Aguirre created when he began making noise that his investigation into insider trading at Pequot Capital was quashed by SEC higher-ups when Aguirre suggested that the scheme may have involved Wall Street heavyweight, John Mack, patriarch of Morgan Stanley.
Aguirre claimed that he was told in no uncertain terms to leave Mack alone, a course of action he was disinclined to accept.. In the ensuing flap saw a fired (and fired-up Aguirre) turn whistleblower and testify before congress about conflict of interest issues at his former employer.
Well, Mr Aguirre is still hitting hard on what he believes are serious issues with the SEC's enforcement regime. Characteristically, he doesn't pull any punches in this interview with The Guardian.
For more background on Aguirre, try the tags below...
