Unless you knew him personally, there’s no way to know what was going on in his head. Depression isn’t always something outwardly noticeable. Successful people can experience depression same as those less fortunate. Perhaps it was purely work-related, perhaps not. We will likely never know.

Read an article last night that he's under investigation for a pump and dump scheme. His sale of $1m in shares recently was hardly worth jumping off a building, but what do I know.

That was my take as well - the magnitude of it was pretty small compared to many others who got away with a slap on the wrist for him to be taking his own life. I think he's also been in an interesting position between Ryan Cohen, the retail traders, etc. that would probably have been factored in. There were probably other personal issues at play but I guess only him and maybe others close to him would really know 🤷‍♂️.

Offing yourself to escape facing the consequences of your actions is horrific. After we die, comes judgement so what did he really escape? It’s a permanent choice for a temporary situation.

funny

He’s no longer alive and our thoughts of empathy are meaningless to him. Justifying or philosophying existence and decisions is a better outlet than shouting ‘Diamond hands’ or ‘Putz’.

Save you atheist ‘clap track’. Let people find meaning in their own way.
